Relationship Equation

Relationship is primarily a function of collective mutual value (R = Vab*Vba ... ). Whether it is a business relationship, work related, church, or personal friends, the strength of a relationship is determined only by mutually perceived value. The value of an entity (a) to another entity (b) may be positive or negative. The value of entity (a) to entity (b) may differ from the value of entity (b) to entity (a). Value V is correlated to Contribution C and Time T. C may be expressed in the form of intimacy, gifts, thoughts, reinforcing memories, etc.

How do you measure up in your relationships with others? Do you think that you need to revisit some relationships and sow some vitamin C? Is there any relationships where you can't increase your value to others no matter how much you contribute? Have you ignored some blessings from others?

If Vab is very high, but Vba is at the slightest negative, guess what - R is negative!

Sounds like genius? well, not quite. If Vab and Vba are both negative, R becomes positive! Muahahaha.. thank God I'm not a psychologist.
