RELATIONSHIP: The THEORY

RESPECT

EMOTIONS IN ASCENDING ORDER

---''Your Mood and Quality of Life Depends on HOW MUCH you Care For the Person, Place or Thing that you are Relating to.''

APATHY

 ---Very disinterested in EVERYTHING, including LIFE, itself. A psychological paralysis toward the way that he/she views things. An understanding of his vision needs to be conveyed...and the flaws therein. Don't try to snow him. He needs your honesty.
---If you can't help...BE HONEST! Find someone who can.

GRIEF

 ---The five stages of grief as put forth by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross are 1] Denial 2] Anger 3] Bargaining Phase 4] Despair 5] Acceptance. It is very important to identify the object of your grief. Then identify your relationship with that object and what occurred that has you so bent out of shape. It is a very good opportunity to experience growth...yourself.
---The five stages of grief are identical to the stages that we go through...as we ACCEPT - anything/everything. Very much a part of my life, as I dealt with my missing fingers...and, its ACCEPTANCE. [I grieved for the missing fingers...as it were.]

FORGIVENESS -

FEAR

FEAR

---Fear is said to be the real opposite of LOVE. On the emotional scale...many see it as HATE.

.

---As the opposite of Love...we see that if one has fear one cannot experience love at the same time. For example - if one says he loves existence, itself, one can't turn around and not love a certain part of it. One either LOVES or doesn't. It is like being sort of pregnant. It is really all or nothing. Unconditional.

.

---HATE as an opposite to LOVE...finds itself in the likes and dislikes categories. And, these choices are made on feelings. So, one's likes and dislikes are refined to the point where you realize you LOVE everything in someway...but, are able to prefer certain behavios over other's. That is why...''we all love one another, we're just working out the details.'' The statement is a true fact, but when you try to fit in your feelings toward everything...it will most likely fall apart. Conditional.

ANGER

 ---One usually experiences anger...when one has a need that is not being met or satisfied. If you find that someone is angry at you, they have for some reason made you responsible for filling it.
.

---It can be visualized like this - a machine works optimally when all of its parts are working well and together, firing on all cylinders as it were. When the machine needs parts replaced or needs a tune up...we see it is not functioning at its best. The idea of it not functioning properly is akin to its being ANGRY.
---I hope you see that.

EVERYTHING IS IN RELATIONSHIP!

ANTAGONISTIC

 ---Usually someone who needs a certain amount of chaos in his life to function, optimally. If it is too quiet, he/she makes some noise to get things going or make things happen or whatever term is used.
.
---The inability to face oneself is usually the cause of the necessary chaos. If things are too quiet, then one may have to face something that has been avoided up to now. When one is able to slow it down and quiet it down without the fear of what may show itself...one is usually more conscious and comfortable than he was to start with.

BOREDOM

---When we DO things that we LIKE to DO...we NEVER experience boredom. When we do what we don't like...that is when BOREDOM comes in. When something we enjoy begins to wear on us, we find BOREDOM creeping in. BOREDOM is in direct relationship to the amount of affinity we have for what we are relating. Once, again, it doesn't matter if it be people, places or things.

CONTENTED

 ---You have hit the waterline, in a manner of speaking. You are NOT at your optimum and there is a ways to go, but, being contented is certainly better than feeling out of sorts and DIS-contented. [Especially, if you have spent a lot of time there.] The highs and lows aren't as drastic and are noticably closer. You find you are much better than you were. More stable and at a more level position...would describe this state. As is shown in the picture-things are looking up.

CONSERVATIVE

---This state will find you being cautious at times. If you are anything like me you are afraid of losing what you have gained. You may figuratively walk on your tiptoes...until you feel more settled. But, like me, you just become more used to feeling good and eventually you begin to take it for granted, in a way, and move on. Feeling good becomes more natural.

Mr. NATURAL - FINDOUT WHO YOU ARE

HAPPINESS SEEMS RIGHT!

CHEERFULNESS

---When things are working out for ourself and loves ones we reflect that in our actions and find others experience pleasure in our company. We promote a feeling of goodwill to all who are fortunate to be in our presence. We don't find it difficult to have kind words at our fingertips. We may find ourselves sought after.

ENTHUSIASM

 ---We find that we have a passion for life and living. We appreciate and enjoy the things that we do. Life has gotten our attention. Whatever it might be that has our attention from moment to moment brings much joy and excitement with it. Fun and having fun is the response we show mostly.
