Conrad you need to read The Family. you are blaming the wrong people. please read it and tell me what you think.

Rod, i always viewed that symbol to represent the whole of one person. a continual motion of balance it appears to me for the top will topple over and give way to the bottom who will then be on the top to topple over and give way to the bottom that was the top and is once again. life is cyclical from my perspective.
one week the car may be more important then the phone, another day the need to cry out ways the need to dance.
all emotion is valid, but never should one out place another indefinitely.

it is possible to balance love, and education. i am in love, i am educating my self, and i have balance with the two because i have a balanced view on my life. i am fortunate enough to have a lover who is interested in what i have to say about what i am learning. just as i am interested in what he has to say about what he is learning. this interest exists because "against all odds" (according to "the educated elite") we are interested in a balance of each others minds, bodies, souls, thoughts, ideals, past, present, future... i cherish his opinion, while not allowing it to over write mine. he cherishes my wit without trying to adopt it himself. we are two wholes whose coming together is grater then the sum of its parts. (in my opinion)

my beloved is the sun that shines beside me in the morning sky, the breath of fresh dewy breeze that cools my brow on a summers eve, the partner who holds my hand as we reach for the stars.
just as we each function as the symbol yin and yang with in our selves we in turn are becoming like it as we grow closer together. i listen when he speaks, think about what he has said before i respond, and give my open honest opinion of what it is, willing to be wrong, willing to be corrected, willing to learn, wanting to be taught. he in turn listens when i speak, thinks before answering, gives his honest opinion, takes correction into the equation, takes his time to be sure we understand what the other is saying. but this is not the end all be all of our relationship, no we can laugh and play and have fun as well. it is needed for balance. we tease and cuddle and do all with respect to the others thoughts feelings needs and desires.


do not say in my presence again that there is no good in humanity. i challenge you to look for it till you find it.
