Lately, on social platforms, I have read a lot of comments that refer to the term “Green Flag,” be it comments about discussions about series characters or personal preferences and expectations. They sound like the guy is absolutely a green flag, the girl is a green flag, it’s a green flag relationship.

Seeing this term pop up very often made me think more about it, especially in our time frame and the status of matters nowadays. I wonder what people expect from each other, their boyfriends, girlfriends, and relationships.

I guess people often mention this “green flag” term; they must see it as a prototype for their anticipations regarding these areas of life, shaping the perfect persona and relationship.

Well, here I have to ask: does any “green flag” really exist in whichever realm of life?

I would say a big NO!

 We are humans, we make mistakes. We make decisions despite knowing they will hurt our partner and those around us. But we do it. When we are disappointed, in anger, we say words that hurt our partner. Sometimes we insist that we are right, and others are wrong, and even though that’s not the case, we keep insisting. Blinded by our egoism. Oh, that egoism that destroyed many things and relationships.

However, the next question is, what is needed to cope with all these misunderstandings, fights, and challenging situations, to achieve a balanced relationship with others and life partners, aside from having this idea of the utopian green flag?

There’s only one thing: True Love.

So, I recommend taking down the green flags, seeing reality in the eye, and knowing that if there’s true love, everything can be overcome.
