When we are provoked, our partners and most humans seem unsatisfactory.
When we’re looking for flaws or scapegoats, we’re surrounded. Anything that’s different from the ideal we’ve conjured up can be an excuse to cringe or attack.
When we’re not interested in resolving the differences, they seem insurmountable. We’d rather be right than validate somebody else’s view or reach a compromise (that’s the last thing we want).

Love you, Valerie. And thank you Nick for snapping this photo… More
