The Dynamic Will

Why even the kindest relationships can decay—and how to keep them alive.

Imagine two people worked together.
One was steady, always available, always composed.
The other leaned on that steadiness—at first with gratitude, then with silence.

There was no conflict.
Only roles that hardened over time.
One gave. One received. And neither of them questioned it.

Eventually, the one who received began to feel small.
And no one likes to feel small.

The one who gave began to feel used.
And no one likes to feel used.

The dynamic didn’t break—but it stopped evolving.
And that’s when the resentment began.

Not through words.
But through withdrawal.

This happens everywhere.

In friendships. In families. In teams.
We fall into patterns—helper and helped, leader and follower.
And when these patterns freeze, tension builds beneath the surface.

Gratitude becomes debt.
Support becomes expectation.
Kindness becomes pressure.

Debt, Expectation, Pressure, all this lead toward hatred.
Mostly not the person but to the roles.
Most hatred doesn’t come from injury.
It comes from structure that refuses to adapt.

The relationship, once alive, starts to reach a steady point—not from neglect,
but from repetition.

Stillness is the beginning of collapse.

Love, if it’s real, cannot be still.
It must move.

Movement doesn’t mean chaos.
It means responsiveness.
Recalibration.
A willingness to shift roles, shift tone, shift needs.

That is what keeps a connection alive.

When power never shifts,
when silence becomes the norm,
when one person is always giving and the other always receiving,
the relationship decays.

While an oscillating system stays active,
and is harder to decay.

This is the nature of the dynamic will.

It’s not about emotion.
It’s about structure.
About choosing to remain changeable
instead of clinging to comfort.

A river that flows adapts to the terrain.
A river that freezes shatters everything around it.

People are the same.
We are built to move—internally and with others.

The moment we stop adapting,
we lose what made the connection human in the first place.

To love is to stay alive to movement.

Give when it’s needed. Step back when it’s not.
Accept from others when they want to give.
Let others change. Let yourself change.
Refuse the safety of fixed roles.

Because 'love' is not about staying the same.
It’s about staying responsive.

That is the will that keeps things alive.
The dynamic will.
