In order to get something that you want you have to do something that you don't much feel like doing. But then hey, this is Planet Earth - intergalactic spiritual home of the awkward compromise. The inhabitants all give a little here, take a little there and, with a bit of luck, they get just about enough to make it all worthwhile. Right ? We want to know whether to put energy into a situation with intense emotional overtones.
 Trouble, tension, trauma. Stress, strife, struggle. That's what we all come here for, isn't it? That's the great objective, the aim of the game of life. Isn't it? Well then, how come we experience so much of it? Because, of course, it is a part of the challenge. It is what we get when we are not getting what we want, just as rain is sometimes what we get when we want sunshine.What do we want from each other? What do any of us want from any of the rest of us? Affirmation? Confirmation? Information? What do we seek in our relationships? What do we aspire to provide? What do we hope to be supplied with? These are not easy questions to ask and we can all dedicate a lifetime to answering them. Indeed, we all do!
