Love relationships

It is not possible, as Kundera points out, to live two lives to determine the true impact of a single factor (medication vs. no medication, or even illness vs. no illness) on one s self There are always intervening circumstances— for instance, changing careers, love relationships, or exercise regimens—that may have as much to do with our moods and outlooks as medication does. For the people in my study, this unclear distinction between cause and effect resulted in a great deal of confusion ... 

Berry has never claimed that farmers of the past, conventional or organic, have ever achieved true harmony with nature or sustainability. He simply states that harmony in nature, as with harmony in society, must be achieved through loving relationships. The permanence of food and farming systems depends upon personal relationships of integrity and trust among farmers, farm workers, eaters and citizens within local communities. 

In outside friendships when young, and in love relationships as they grow older, only children sometimes have some emotional catching up to do. 

The child s sense of family partnership can get particularly difficult, and serious tensions can arise, when the single parent becomes involved in an adult love relationship, or... 

At its heart, hyperdrama is a story told in service of a moral lesson. Character, plot, tone, all serve that overriding purpose. The moral lesson might be focused on personal behavior, for example. The main character in Bunuel s The Criminal Mind of Archibald Cruz is convinced that he committed a crime (murder) as a child. We know that he did not. However, he conducts his life and relationships in an aura of guilt and in the expectation that if he becomes too close to anyone, in a love relationship for example, he will again become a murderer. The moral lesson of Bunuel s film is that we are all prisoners of our childhood experiences, whether they are negative or positive. How useful or not this imprisonment is goes to the core of Bunuel s goal in this film. 

Venus symbolizes love, relationships, art, pleasure, possessions, and money. 

The beautiful queen in the alembic corresponds psychologically to the Creative Feminine. In particular, she may personify the muse in creative men, which can feel to them like a very personal relationship. She can also serve as a symbol for anyone who is in the process of creating something of lasting value the work itself is felt to come from a feminine source infused with eros. The life force is manifest within the individual, who lives in a loving relationship to feminine qualities of grace, patience, wisdom, and creativity...

Some initial matching of talent, skills and interests on business and human levels [is desirable].

Although it has received the most attention, CBT is not the only form of psychotherapy that is effective for depression. Other psychological treatments include interpersonal psychotherapy, short-term psychodynamic therapy and non-directive supportive therapy. Interpersonal psychotherapy focuses on problems that arise in interpersonal relationships, such as marital conflict, the loss of a loved one and social isolation.20 Short-term psychodynamic therapy focuses on acquiring insight and understanding of unresolved conflicts arising from the person s childhood. It is based on Freud s psychoanalytic theory, but requires only months, rather than the years it takes for a full psychoanalysis.21 Non-directive supportive therapy provides a warm, supportive atmosphere in which the depressed person can explore life issues... 

The client likely will benefit from continued involvement of family in the therapeutic process during aftercare. Many commonly reported relapse triggers are related to relationship stress (see Chapter 7), and family therapy may help reduce relationship stress. As the client is learning how to adjust to living drug free after treatment, the family learns how to live with a drug-free loved one. 

Chronic illness affects everyone in relationship with the person who is ill, particularly those who live together. Multiple chemical sensitivity affects other members of the household more profoundly, perhaps, than any other illness because of the many accommodations required. Many relationships don t survive stressors of this magnitude. In light of this, it seemed important to include in this book a narrative on coping from the viewpoint of a healthy person who loves and lives with someone who has MCS. 

I found Curt to be thoughtful and candid in his remarks. So much so that during the interview I realized a part of me was braced for hearing painful truths about living with a partner who has MCS, truths which might be unspoken or denied within the boundaries of an intimate relationship, including my own. What I found, however, was that his love and compassion for Elizabeth enabled me to hear his frustration and grief with empathy. 

Elizabeth doesn t ask a lot. The condition asks a lot of us as a family unit. What it boils down to is, I choose to do these things. The whole thing is real simple. Either you love your spouse enough and the relationship has enough value to you that you don t really question what you have to do. You just do what you have to do. That s how it is. 

THE DARK SIDE OF LOVE ABOUT BREAKING UP ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS... 

As this experience passed behind us, the girl and I became even closer friends. We never made love again it was not really the relationship that suited us. She remembered nothing of the events on the roof About a week after all this was over, I told her my impression of what had happened. She was amazed but accepting. I did not know what had happened. I christened the obsidian fluid we had generated "luv," something more than love, something less than love, perhaps not love at all, but some kind of unplumbed potential human experience very little is known about. 

To confirm my hypothesis, I interviewed 30 of my peers—students from both the public and private high schools in my area. I asked, What do you think is the right relationship between work and play Twenty-two respondents said they think work and play should have equal time in our lives. We should play at least as much as we work, said Ellen Reese, a senior planning to major in computer science. Of course, that s a lot easier to do if you love your job, because then that s part of the play, too. Andrew Fry, a junior who wants to be a journalist, was one of the 12 respondents concerned with the collapsing distinction between work and home. Between e-mail and the Internet, wireless connections, and cell phones, we can take our work with us anywhere and work any time of the day. So many people bring their work home with them and let it eat up their play time. I think it s really important to set aside time each day, or at least each week, to relax and play. ...

For most people, our beliefs and even our values were given to us in childhood without our permission. We simply adopted them without knowing we have a choice. People who are "in the flow" of lots of cash have very specific beliefs about the nature of money and how it works. Likewise, people who have wonderful marriages and close loving friends have specific beliefs about people, love and relationships.
