The Secret of Interpersonal Relationships \ Pirkei Avot
D'var Torah: ""Rabbi Eliezer said: Assume the honor that your friend gives to you is as sincere as the honor you give to him." (Avos 2:10) Rabbi Eliezer offers a deep insight into interpersonal relationships. Specifically, he reveals that it is human nature to assume that our friends give us less respect than we deserve. However, this is a common misconception. The truth is just the opposite! Usually our friends hold genuine esteem for us and value our friendship, just as we hold them dear. Moral: The Torah advises us to balance our relationships by consciously realizing and -- reassuring ourselves -- that our friends respect us just as sincerely as we respect them. Application: Strengthen the quality of your relationships by viewing your family and friends through a positive prism of mutual respect.
