 %MUTUAL RESPECT LOVE MANIPULATIVE ADVANTAGE RELATE 911203

     People  relate  to  each other in a large  number  of
different ways.   What appear to be intimate relationships
are not always truly intimate relationships.  Often people
trap  themselves  in relationships of mutual  manipulative
advantage,  in the absence of true love.  They resent each
other's manipulations, while they manipulate each other in
exchange  for  mutual advantages;  but they do  not  truly
respect or desire each other.

     True   lovers  do  not  manipulate  each  other  with
dishonest  techniques  for  gaining  advantages  at   each
other's  expense.   They are not trying to win a  contest.
True lovers honestly respect each other and desire to know
each other more fully and honestly, but not as a part of a
manipulative strategy by which to win some advantage.

     True  lovers are not trying to control each other  or
themselves out  of  any  concern  for over imperfection or
perfection   according   to   some  standards   for   good
conformity.   They  are not driven by conformal  standards
which  presumably  define what is good and  what  is  evil
apart  from  who they truly are within themselves  and  to
each other.
