“Well, the real question is, we’re all this kind of animal, human, unconscious. We all go back and forth with this kind of thing. Look at your partner. And you might suddenly look like a skeleton: “Good morning, you look really bad.” Can you handle that in your relationship? Relationships based on truth walk a fine line between chaos and cosmos. ” – Ram Dass
