The relationship between people is like a slender silk thread, once there is a barrier, it is like a broken rope, even if it is re-tied, there will be a knot that is difficult to untie. A broken bowl, no matter how it is repaired, will eventually crack. In this world, reconciliation is common, but it is difficult as before. 
When we are estranged from others, the distance between us and each other will gradually widen. We will find that what was once intimate is now strange and distant. Reconciliation may be easy, but it is difficult to restore the original innocence and trust. The other party may think that we are calculating, but they fail to appreciate the pain when we swallow our grievances. We revisit old scores, not because they were never properly resolved.
Estrangement often arises because one or both parties have been hurt, and this harm may be verbal, behavioral, or even psychological. When an injury occurs, even if both parties choose to reconcile, those past hurts will leave a deep imprint on the heart. Like the broken rope, when it is reattached, the knot remains; Just like the broken bowl, after repairing, the crack is still clearly visible.
The estrangement makes us cautious, and we dare not give our sincerity easily. We began to build walls to protect ourselves from harm. However, this practice has made our world smaller and smaller, and loneliness and loneliness have followed. We long to find someone who can truly understand us, someone who can break down barriers and get into our hearts.
In order to avoid estrangement, we should cherish the feelings between people more. When we have conflicts with others, we should communicate in a timely manner and strive to solve the problem, rather than allowing the conflict to accumulate and eventually evolve into a gap. At the same time, we must also learn to be tolerant and understanding, after all, no one is perfect, and everyone can make mistakes.
Sometimes, however, even if we try to avoid it, estrangement inevitably arises. At this time, we need to face it head-on, not run away from it. We can try to clear up misunderstandings with each other through honest conversations, or give each other some time and space to heal the wounds.
In short, estrangement is a major obstacle to human relationships, it prevents us from getting closer to each other and returning to the good old days. But we can't let that stop us from pursuing a good relationship. It is only through hard work and sincerity that we can overcome that insurmountable wall of heart and regain the intimacy and trust that we have lost.
