Please explain in detail and provide examples.

Answer 1

Three qualities that i consider the most important in a friend-

1- Trust- Friendship is just impossible without a strong bond based on trust. Trust can be treated as the prerequiste of friendship. The friend should not be with any kinds of doubts on me.

2- Sense of humour- Humour makes life more beautiful. Unnecessary worries and stress derail and demotivate human beings. To laugh together is indeed a joy and this joy gets multiplied in friendship.

3- Empathy- There are ups and downs in life as it is not a bed of roses at all. In such circumstances of darkness, the friend has to be empathetic and be with me.

Three qualities that i consider the most important in a  romantic partner-

1- Concern- It is the backbone of every relation. If the partner possesses concern, everything can be accomplished untold.

2- Respect for the differences in each other- The partner must be unique and has to respect the uniqueness. This accelerates the mutual understanding and leads to cultivation of the win- win situations.

3- Culturally rooted- I will love to have a partner who is eager and enthusiastic to follow the culture, traditions as they are the essence of living.

For example, celebrating Christmas through acts of compassion like volunteering for a non profit organisation or donating for the sake of orphans, deprived etc will be sought after by me in my partner. This is because doing such deeds/ actions makes us reach self actualisation and makes us truuly realise the meaning of life.
