Relations

Some relations are so weird. They seem to exist, but they don't. Should such relations exist?? I feel they better not. A relation which cant be named shouldn't be there. When i was a child we had a lesson in Hindi, which presented the irony of such relations, where you are 'like a son,' 'like a brother,' etc but not the son or the brother. Such relations are very convenient cause u are 'like' but not actual...so no responsibility. Such a relation is usually very convenient for any one of the two persons involved. for the other its like the bermuda triangle, heard but not seen off. I wouldnt though generalise all relations but most of them fall under this category. Such relations are established with the sole purpose of convenience. No strings attached, no responsibilities, just for fun, for a temporary want. Due to 90% of such relations, the other 10% genuine unsaid unexplained relations also suffer the eye of the world.
