This story was mainly about a couple with a statue. To me I think this is really like a situations that happens every day in the real world. I mean everyone is going to have issues and certain problems that you are going to go through. Basically no one is going to agree with each other because you are always going to have different opinions on different circumstances. The real problem is really how you handle the problem I believe. You are going to have to give in take in anything you do. You are always going to have many things that you disagree with in life, but the real problem is how you are going to handle the situation. Many people chose to handle these situations in a negative way which will affect many relationships. People have to learn how to compromise and fix their problems. This is not just in this story as a relationship with two married people, but with people in general as friends or anything. In the story I think both people have to be understanding to each other. If you know your husband is completely trying to be Hindu and not have Christian things around because it would be bad for his religion they need to talk about that. At the same time he has to be understanding to her feelings as well. I mean she is balling her eyes about the statue. She obviously really wants that statue to be there and is affected by it if it is gone. Therefore, they both have their own individual side that they need to sort out together. By him going and throwing out the statue though is only going to make things worse with their relationship. All it is going to do is upset her and not only that but cause more problems. This should not be the solution to their problems. I think this story really taught me how communication is a huge step just with everything. I didn’t realize how the things you do in your everyday life can really affect people. Not only that but the way you communicate with each other as well.
Compromise is a difficult thing. And communication, as you say, is key, but it can be difficult as well. But I think that reading stories like these can not just remind us of these things but help us be more sensitive and aware and consequently more able to communicate and compromise. The story, then, doesn't just give us a "lesson" but can be useful for us actually growing as people.
