When it exists, there is dialoque, sharing, constructive support, mutual trust, good works, lifelong friendship, & love everafter.
When there is none, it is difficult - respect has to be earned & once lost is hard to regain without extreme effort, apology, guidance, repentance & a desire to do good. Nothing is impossible. In the end, we all have to answer for our actions & thoughts. The true Judge can see thro' all of us - nothing fools HIM! Before Him, there is no place for lying or false accusations -
Luke Chpt 6 V 46 - " Why call me Lord, Lord & do not the things which I say?" One might apply this very simply to the Two Great Commandments re loving God & one's neighbour.
If a man say "I love God & hateth his brother, he is a liar for he that loveth his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen'"
