...with that insight. Yes. That's what most of us want. To be with the ones we love, the ones who love us, in an environment of shared love and play and work and growth. It's that simple.

All attempts by thoughtful people to build healthy social systems are built around that core principle: What can we do by way of shared institutions, social infrastructure, establishing cultural norms, etc., to make it possible for the largest number of us to achieve that?

It is the tragedy of the modern era that we have instead created a society that fosters social isolation, competition, narcissism, and "keeping score" in meaningless measures like money and stuff.

I'm so glad that you and your beloved continue to swim against that tide. Holding you both in the Light.

warmly,
Bright
