We had a fire in our office building - and what do you think we should have done - Evacuate, of course!!! Did we?? Nah!!! We rationalized - its a small fire - we'll be able to contain it - dont panic - dont worry - and all that.
Should there even be a question in our minds about evacuation? It raises two very fundamental issues - one, yeh hum log office attendance , productivity ko human life ke aage rakhte hain.
And two, isnt this what we always do in life - neglect doing the obvious till its too late.
In a relationship, which is obviously abusive - here the response options range from - but 'he really loves me' to 'where will I go' to 'he has a problem and I will help him get over it' to 'i love him and cant live without him'
Hello?? What about loving yourself? Lekin bhai - evacuate? This is not what I learnt - this is not strength and courage of conviction and fortitude and all things high and lofty.
How can I evacuate on people??
Hmmmm...yeh to duvidha hai.
But like a building on fire - some people are on a path to self destruction - I think its only fair to yourself to pause and choose - do I want to burn with this person - or will I evacuate?

Firstly, not evacuating the building when there is a fire is foolish, to say the least. The decision to evacuate need not depend on the size of fire, because .... if the fire grows, it will be too late to evacuate anyway !!
Well, I wish evacuating from relations was as easy; or that we could practice it, like regular fire drills !!! :-)
The problem lies in the inability to decide - what is at stake? In a building (especially if it is office), then in spite of all the talk about company loyalty, ownership etc., your contract with the establishment is more economic than emotional. In a relationship, its opposite. Emotional losses are intangible, and hence more difficult to comprehend in an objective manner.
Nevertheless, I agree with you about loving oneself. Sometimes, no emotional loss is big enough to justify abandoning oneself.
