Why Familiarity Really Does Breed Contempt !

I always wondered and felt that this statement holds true. My mother always told me to never get too close to anyone to maintain relationships. Even to my own siblings I keep a good distance and it always been Even with all of them. I really kept the distance although I am emotionally close to my sisters and brother but I have never had expectation from my family. I think money has no value in relationships and it overrides emotions so  I never go overboard to gift anyone anything very expensive. Less is more always. For better or for worse, sibling relationships are for life but at the same time keeping a low expectation from anyone will make you happy not just siblings.

A funny quote:

"Fish and visitors smell in three days." -- Benjamin Franklin

For all of us who have joint families, extended cousins and inlaws its hard to get close to them as the more familiar we get the more misunderstanding develops. I have seen this with my mom and her inlaws so I always took my mother advise and I keep my relationship neutral . And of-course you can never get close to your brother in law or sister in law as you cant really talk about the parents..haha . Well jokes apart, its hard to connect with husband side of the family without being judged, so again I keep my relationships neutral.

Surprising enough there is been a research on relationships.  A study by Norton and colleagues participants were given a list of traits about another person and asked how much they would like that person. In fact the traits were generated to be broadly representative and people were shown either 4, 6, 8 or 10 of these traits at random. The results showed that, contrary to their expectations, the more information people had about others the less they liked them.

Norton and colleagues hypothesized that the reason for this finding was that the more people find out about others, the more likely it is a trait will be uncovered to which they take a dislike. 

So here it is .. we all have our shares of tears and joys, so why worry and have expectations? instead remember to take it easy !

                              Myths- What is true?

Low fat is better than regular. Surprised? Low fat is basically saying that the product has less fat than the original high fat product. If you actually look at the label, the low fat has more calories than the regular. With regular diets, you’re probably getting just a little less fat from the lower fat food, but not much.

The rich don’t pay fewer taxes. The average family with a $300,000 income will actually pay 34% income tax; over one third of their income goes to taxes.

Ethanol is better than regular gas. The new green gas ethanol is seen as the future fuel for your cars, since regular gas is not only expensive, but harming the earth. Ethanol would be more expensive than the gas we use today. Ethanol costs a lot more to make than gasoline does. Not only that, ethanol creates smoke like gas. It would still cause the harmful effects like gasoline, but not as fast.

We are running low on trees. The demand for lumber has slightly risen and has led to the belief that the world is running low on trees. We actually have the highest number of trees since the 1800s. We plant more trees than we cut down.

America is exceptionally ungenerous in its aid to developing nations

Fact: The United States government consistently contributes more towards overseas aid that the government of any other country, although in cash terms its contribution is smaller as a proportion of gross domestic product than that of most Western countries.[12] Most impressive, however, is the amount individual Americans choose to give in voluntary donations.

Hybrids are better than electric Cars. Really?. The largest single thing that makes hybrids better though is that you can buy one now. Electrics are still concepts.

Chemicals used in products sold to consumers have been tested and found safe from health effects. Most chemicals in modern use have simply not been tested for their impacts on human health, even very basic effects. If tests have been carried out, they usually are far too simplistic to anticipate many important health effects
