Relatives, relations and relationships

Few years ago, I had gone to visit the Indian city of Hyderabad. I came to know then,  that Hyderabad's famous 'Salarjung Museum' has now been shifted to a new building.  I knew that, with this new building, display of the artifacts and other stuff,  would be far better than before and I had made it a point to visit the Museum once again then. In one of the halls of the Museum, I had found  the old dresses worn by the Nizam of Hyderabad, neatly displayed in glass showcases. The dresses made from silks, were heavily brocaded with gold and silver threads and studded with priceless jewels. In the bright spot- lights arranged to show off the dresses, the jewels were shining brightly. 
I had then thought that though observing these dresses displayed in glass show cases was a wonderful experience, I would not have liked wearing these dresses at all. The gold and silver thread would have rubbed against my skin while moving about and the bright jewels would be like thorns pricking me all the time. Few days back, there was some unsavoury incidence amongst some relatives of mine. While thinking about the incidence, I thought that the relationships with relatives are really like wearing those brocaded dresses. The relationships are pleasant only from a distance.
