A
connection between two people, of a non-
physical nature. A
link which take years to grow deep, though they can also be felt almost
instantaneously between two people - usually as a result of deep
understanding or sometimes a
mysterious identification.
It is a phenomenon that occurs when two individuals are on the same mental wave-length. Emotional bonds are born of trust and understanding.
Emotional bonds can be based upon friendship, love, or family. They can support us in times of need, or drag us into actions which feel obligatory.
Our emotional responses can sometimes be dictated by the depth of our emotional bonds. When you have an emotional bond with a person, the joy you feel with them is greater, and the pain far worse. To understand and trust a person means that if they hurt you, it will be harder for you to dismiss their actions. It also means that when they bring joy into your life, you can appreciate it more fully.
