Without a clear awareness of our differences, we do not take the time to understand and respect each other. We become demanding, resentful, judgmental, and intolerant. With the best and most loving intentions love continues to die. Somehow the problems creep in. The resentments build.
Communication breaks down.
Rejection and repression result. The magic of love is lost. To answer these questions our greatest minds have developed brilliant and complex philosophical and psychological models. Yet still the old patterns return. It happens to almost everyone.
