90 Intensity fades

With total strangers, people could be decorous and polite. They restrained criticism; they did not jump down throats of strangers, they respect each other's opinions or at least pretend to.

"Collectively this means we really are clueless about how to treat each other. Day after day, most of the mean, caustic, angry, evil things you will say to someone" are to the loved one. When the loss of illusion sets in, we become bored. Our inclination to sacrifise for the other is reduced, and wind up engaging in negative behaviour we would not even consider with a new person in our lives. We need to work to rediscover our relationship, to rediscover the joy. Then we can capture the feeling of newness, of beginning again.
