The Affects of Belief 2

So many relationships, and marriages based on conflict pretend they aren't, deny they are, and manifest it daily the way they relate to, and raise their children, if they have any. It spills into their work, business, play, the way they care for their aging parents, and how they view God. How they think of themselves suffers from contradictions easily eradicated by self-examination, and intent. But, self-analysis frightens the paradigm. It also frightens the relationship with conflict, and so the patterns continue to be treated as normal, or fall under the cliches: 


"That's how we do!" 
"I love my Boo. We gotta fight to stay together!" and so forth and so on ya' dig? - Gregory E. Woods 10.13.13

The famous shooter Annie Oakley is reputed to have said, "I ain't afraid to love a man. I ain't afraid to shoot him either." She is just like the main character in the movie, Colombiana. Fear and love and the need for and the need to love plays against each other within her reasoning and her emotions. Many live this way. It is how they conduct their emotions to respond in relationships: imbalanced between their need to love, incapacity to intelligently love, and their conquering fears. It is a Trick Bag hard to get out of with Denial at the front door keeping it safe from scrutiny. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10.13.13
