“Very often, the way love is defined, it does violence to both people. It almost makes them a slave to the other. For example, if to be in love, or to be married, it means that I'm responsible for the other person's happiness, now we get into this guilt game, where if they're upset, I'm at fault. Soon, that makes the person we are closest to about as much fun to be around as a prolonged dental appointment.” PeopleIfsWayMeanPersonsDoeGamesFunLove IsViolenceExampleCommunicationMarriedResponsibleGuiltFaultsSlaveDefinedUpsetClosestBeing MarriedNonviolent CommunicationAppointmentsDentalHappiness Now Author:Marshall B.

“Any evaluation which implies rightness or wrongness is a tragic, suicidal expression of an unmet need. Tragic, first because it decreases our likelihood of getting our need met! Even if we think it. And secondly, because it increases the likelihood of violence. That's why I'm suggesting any evaluation which implies rightness or wrongness is a tragic, suicidal expression of an unmet need. Say the need! Learn a need-consciousness.” IfsThinkingNeedsFirstsConsciousnessViolenceExpressionCommunicationMetsIncreaseTragicSuicidalDecreaseNonviolent CommunicationSuggestingEvaluationLikelihoodUnmet Needs Author:Marshall B.
