Nancy Woodruff(Georgie) Why is it that you always want to run after the one that goes off in a huff, and push away the one who is clinging to you?
About This Quote
In the animal kingdom, there is a social structure where a dominant king leads a pack of followers. The king is not above pushing away an opponent to make sure he has the best chance of survival and breeding with the most females. That type of mentality is exactly what we want to avoid in our relationships. We would be better off taking our time and letting people who love us know that we appreciate them.
If we push them away, we risk losing them forever and becoming bitter and alone. By taking our time, we give people the opportunity to come back to us if they choose to do so.
