Story time!
There was once a teacher with many students. He cared & loved his students as his own family. However because of the nature of the school, people will come & people will go. Ever year he sees new batch of students coming in & some of them leaving him. It's fine. After all every meeting has a moment of separation. It was until one day a particular student came into his school. On the first class, the student became very friendly with this teacher, sticks to him, & the teacher sets his eye on this one student. He saw potential in this one. In his heart he wanted to develop this student to be someone great, maybe someday may succeed him. He places his heart & hope on this student. This student found favor in the eye of the teacher. Not only that they became close friend & their relation grew. But after sometime, out of sudden their relation became sour. The teacher tried really hard to talk back to the student, to reconcile to this student. All he ever wanted is to have this close student back. It really broke the heart of the teacher seeing a student once close to him become like an alien to him now. They may see each other in class but there is no real communication there. Many times the teacher feel like just wanna give up on this student but the student keep on saying he is still his teacher & also friend. But the teacher don't feel so. He wanted a real friendship back with the student, not just an official relation because of status & obligation. The student still says he is the teacher & yet that's the end of it. Just words, no action & communication. Because of this incident the teacher starts to think he is not a good & worthy teacher even though other students look highly on him. Just because of one student the teacher was pulled down to himself. He can no longer teach effectively. Other students cared & loved him, but he still grieves because of one student that doesn't (anymore). Everyday the teacher tries to reconnect with the student but his effort was returned with coldness. The teacher was really confused. Is he still the teacher? Is he still the friend? Is he still someone personal? Is he still someone real? All this question starts to haunt he teacher & finally he decides to let the student go. All the hopes were shattered like a glass drop on ground. This was not the suitable person to bring up after all. Unless they both reconnects, nothing will improve. he teacher will just grieve more day by day because he really loved the student as a family, friend, someone matters.
Moral of the story:
1) If you wanna develop & maintain real & personal relation with someone, please do so with action & not mere words.
2) If you are no longer interested, please don't keep telling the other party of their significance & ends there with talks. Show it to the other party.
3) If you decide to highly favor a "student", make sure the student also highly favor you as a "teacher". One sided thing don't work out. & be prepared to get hurt it gets personal.
4) "Teacher-student" may not actually be real good friend all the time. It's either real-real relation or official-official relation.
5) Talking things out will ease the pain of everyone much better than trying to act noble "I don't wanna hurt you thats why I don't say out" etc.
