There are virtually unlimited different kinds of relationships that people can become involved in
as participants; characterized by various kinds and amounts of different-aspects which are:

(1) Affirmed,
(2) Demonstrated,
(3) Private,
(4) Public,
(5) The subjects of Open-and-Honest-Dialogues,
(6) The absent-foci of Collusive Games of Mutual Self Deception,
(7) Persistently the Major-Foci-of-Exclusive-Attention for long periods of time,
(8) Centered upon "Different" particular people in various combinations and permutations ---
    as regards: place, time, presence, absence, honors, money, wealth, domination, submission, etc.

It is not possible for mortals to authentically affirm-and-demonstrate any-unlimited-number of 
relationships in-parallel and/or simultaneously during their finite-life-times of finite-presence.
Mortals-and-their-relationships are finite-and-limited in their capabilities-and-extents.

"MORE" of-the-same is often  NOT "better".

Some of a different reality/relationship may be better; an improvement following what-has-been
present before now.

Avoiding "change" and "differences" can be alienative and/or worse than "MORE".

Integrations are often better than "MORE", or than "EXCLUSIVITY".

Tolerance is often better than exclusivity.

What is INCLUDED makes a difference; whether it is "the same" or "different".

What is EXCLUDED makes a difference; whether it is "the same" or "different".

Things and relationships will change; of that we can be sure.

We cannot unilaterally prevent all change; of that we can be sure.

Cooperatively and honestly we may be able to facilitate the kinds of change we all want.
