1 00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:10,620 Unknown: All right, welcome 2 00:00:10,619 --> 00:00:12,119 back. So we'll begin. 3 00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:18,210 So let's define relationship. What is the definition of this 4 00:00:18,210 --> 00:00:25,110 word? So in English, it's coming from the world relate. So, in 5 00:00:25,110 --> 00:00:29,730 essence, a relationship to something or with something 6 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,310 always somebody is basically coming from the world relate, it 7 00:00:35,310 --> 00:00:39,180 means you relate to certain things or to a certain person in 8 00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:43,920 some way.

Okay? First of all, the first word word comes to our 9 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,080 mind normally is relative. Relative, right? What is a 10 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,490 relative? Of course, we don't really think about it, but 11 00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:58,560 basically relative are those who are weak related by blood. Okay, 12 00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:02,040 so this is the first time example of a relationship.

So 13 00:01:02,070 --> 00:01:06,840 you are in a relationship with certain people without even 14 00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:11,730 knowing it without even wanting it in a way, you're purely 15 00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:16,350 related to them by blood. That's it. And of course, there's so 16 00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:20,970 many different variations of relationships, right? related by 17 00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:28,260 work, related by love, related by something else related by 18 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,600 some kind of similar idea. Okay? And there's so many different 19 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,290 kinds of relationships in our life, but we are social beings 20 00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:42,480 in essence.

So, relationships basically define us and every 21 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,840 single relationship with every different person or even with 22 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,380 some object, in some sense, for example, some people have 23 00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:58,170 relationships with their cars, okay? They take care of it. They 24 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,400 they love it. 25 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,290 They enjoy spending time with it. So and then there's like a 26 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,590 bunch of toys that they have. There's so many different cool 27 00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:12,390 examples of relationship.

So, I want you to clearly understand 28 00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:18,120 this in this definition of it, and what it is to relate to 29 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,690 somebody. 30 00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:20,760 Why I want you to 31 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,040 understand clearly is, I want you to understand that 32 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,220 relationship is impossible. If there is nothing to relate to 33 00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:37,050 anything. There is one person who speaks Chinese and his whole 34 00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:41,820 culture and his education, everything dictates that 35 00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:44,550 he lives his life in a certain way. 36 00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:48,660 And here's you, you're, let's say, from New Zealand, you were 37 00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:52,860 born in Ireland and you like certain type of weather, you 38 00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:57,270 have your own language, and you're basically two completely 39 00:02:57,270 --> 00:03:00,960 different people.

So how do you even relate to Have you begin to 40 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,340 relate to one another right? There is no, there is no 41 00:03:05,340 --> 00:03:06,210 relationship at 42 00:03:06,210 --> 00:03:08,880 this moment, like you cannot relate in any subject 43 00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:13,560 at the moment. So in order to build a relationship, you have 44 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,080 to find something similar those similarities in your life, in 45 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,690 your culture, in your outlook on life. Those are the things that 46 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,610 will build a relationship in between you, if it's work, let's 47 00:03:29,610 --> 00:03:34,290 say you meet for work, it might be work. So you might be 48 00:03:34,290 --> 00:03:37,560 interested in a certain prospect in a certain business together 49 00:03:37,590 --> 00:03:42,780 or any sort of product together. So this is the first point where 50 00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:46,740 relationship actually begins.

Okay? If we take another 51 00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:51,570 example, like a woman and the man, they meet each other, they 52 00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:56,310 like each other. Okay, so there may be first idea of sex even. 53 00:03:56,790 --> 00:04:02,040 That's also okay but if a woman And the men both kind of 54 00:04:02,490 --> 00:04:07,290 envision each other together, having sex or something that's 55 00:04:07,290 --> 00:04:11,910 already a uniting idea that's already the beginning of this 56 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:15,540 relationship. Or maybe they both want kids or maybe they want to 57 00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:18,120 get married, or whatever their 58 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,430 ideal relationship, this, 59 00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:25,440 but whatever this similarity is, it's already relatable. They're 60 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,830 already relatable to each other, you know, and then the more 61 00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:32,340 people start talking to each other, this is why we talk and 62 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,740 this is why we have dates.

This is why we invite friends and we 63 00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:42,960 socialize, to find out more, to spend more time to learn what 64 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,580 kind of points of relationships we have, so we can actually 65 00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:51,390 relate to the more and build our friendship, our love 66 00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:55,920 relationship, our work, relationship, or any kind of 67 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,720 union together. So this is really important. To read 68 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,990 understand the idea of relating to something. So that means if 69 00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:12,690 there is no point to relate to no relationship, simple as that. 70 00:05:13,410 --> 00:05:13,830 Okay, 71 00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:15,900 so let's go forward. 72 00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:19,440 In the next video, we'll talk about the types of 73 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,480 relationships.

And we'll try to take a look at each one 74 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,660 separately and what kind of roles to play
