Right/wrong, left/right, up/down, 256 thousand shades of grey - all as important as the next.
It's never simple.
Oh God. The argument again. You are totally correct. There are two sides to a coin and there are no guarantees. There is no guarantee when you put your quarters on the pool table you actually are going to get the next game. No guarantee when you wave the white flag you won't get shot right between the eyes. No guarantee that you start dating and your spouse will feel any sort of loss or jealousy. They may actually think, "What took them so long to figure 'IT' out." What makes you happy?
You wouldn't climb Mt. Everest for your spouse. You don't go starting to date for your spouse either. That is ridiculous. You do it for yourself to fulfill your need for companionship and growth. Realize, if you are picking up strangers, you are exploring possibilities. If you ask the girl from marketing, who you have been working with for two years, for coffee and she accepts, you are exploring attraction. Possiblilities, exploration, attraction. That is the allure of the mountains.
If you stand at the base of the mountains long enough you notice they never move. But once you start to climb you realize they alive and full of motions, challenges and experience. How long have you been standing still facing the rest of your life? Has your life changed for the better? Are you happy? If you desire to spend it with someone else, are you fulfilled?
Have you ever been on the side of a mountain and realized that what ever next place you place your foot or fingers is unstable or doesnt offer you any obvious next move? However, you can't just stay on the side of a cliff the rest of your life and if you try to climb down you die. Mountains or relationships: What makes you fulfilled and happy?
