Repost: Just a thought: We're going to have to learn how to differentiate between relationships that need to be salvaged from those that need to be severed. Severing a relationship that can be salvaged only puts us at a deficit. Objectivity should be the gauge that we use to measure how things really are vs how we think they are. In this era, we need reciprocal relationships. Imbalanced and uneven ones, won't do anymore.
