Relationships and Temperament P eople are different in fundamental ways.
People also believe differently.
They think, cognize, conceptualize, perceive, understand, comprehend and cogitate differently. Differences in personalities abound and are easy to see to anyone who takes the time to look. In other words, we account for variations in the behavior of others in terms of flaw and afflictions. Since we believe that our job is to correct these flaws, our life's Pygmalion project becomes to make those near us just like us. Nowhere is this attitude more significant than in our most intimate relationships.
