What is a relationship?

Why does a relationship have to endure a certain amount of time and loyalty before it can be called one? Before the fact that Jack did not seem to make an emotional attachments to the people around him made me wonder. If one shares an experience with somebody else is that not enough. The need for emotions to be presented so clearly to using writing is a thing of habit. As a society we so are used to thinking and reading one way. One does not need to mention the way the feel about someone for the reader to be able to deduce the meaning. If one shares the experience and describes the person during that adventure in such vivid detail that should be enough. The connection is right in front us but it is not displayed out nicely for us. Never does Jack says how he feels about someone and he does not need to say because the way he talks about these experiences as a reader one can feel that he treasures them and the experience is nothing without the person.

I agree. I feel the same in that you don't need to spell out your so-called "lovey dovey" feelings whether they be true, or you just think they're true. By writing about a certain relation with a particular person all you need from that is to know the tone and the true dialogue and movements of the setting. From that, of course you can tell how one or another character is feeling from actions, not necessarily from words.

relationship |riˈlā sh ənˌ sh ip|

I feel that many people forget the true meaning of a relationship. Very nice topic to bring up.
