Relations- To fullfill or empty ?

After being on the earth for more than three decades, very often this question comes to mind. Why we need people around us ? To support, to love, to confide, to debate, even to fight... there are several reasons than these ones. It is not always that one can relate with another, but one meets people whom he/she can easily relate, and we get into relation ships. Though there are several kinds of relationships, I can categorize them as:Relation which you cannot choose, so to say you are born with. Relations which you make unknowingly, and yes there are relation which you make knowingly. Which one these are long lasting? or fulfilling or demanding?
The very first my relation which I remember started when I was born-my mother and father.My mother a simple just literate woman from remote village of India. A woman who was born with a golden spoon. She is ninth in her siblings. Tall, dusky very attractive, not so educated yet composed.She came from a family of landlords,had uncounted servants, brought up in a haveli with thirty six rooms.
I clearly remember going to my Nanaji's home and than visiting his fields. He used tell us look as far as you can see the horizon, its all our land. Daughter of this landlord was married to man who had a small home, a man from a small town but with high ambitions. Yes, I am referring to my father- a man with sharp vision and sharper brain. A man just with education up till matriculation, yet made a niche for himself in a highly intellectual field- media. newspaper, journalists, editors, management, and the top industrialist of the country.
I just think about these two individuals who came from different backgrounds altogether- getting married, having family and than giving them future.Very first time, this thought came to me when I was about to get married. And when I choose my life partner- from a different culture, language and region. What shocked me was the economical strata difference of my parents, at the time of their marriage. If I could translate the difference between the two it would be 1:10,000.Still my mother never ever made it any issue in her life. She never complained about the lack of finances. I still cannot figure out the reason of her content nature. Especially, after understanding the impact of vast difference of economical strata. But what I clearly remember is all Nakharas of my father... his unending demands and unbearable tantrums. His complains - that my mom is not that educated, she cannot socialise in his highly educated society.
A woman who has lived in a 36 rooms haveli, being always served by uncounted servants used to do all house hold menial tasks just to please her husband... She was also accused of giving birth to three daughters.What kind of relation is this ??? Can we call it fullfilling?
