We should not be idealistic in our social relationships. It’s interesting to note that we tend to be impressed with the merits of a stranger in our initial contacts with him or her. It is analogous to our experience of eating in a restaurant. The starter or hors de oeuvre usually tastes good. The first two main courses also easily command our full praises. But with more dishes being served, our passion gradually recedes. When the dinner is finished, you will find all faults with it.
