I think that our lovers should be seen in this light.
I just do not agree with the idea that we need to be actors in the stories that their ego=god mentality has them playing because they will always be the losers since that is the way that the ego=god operates.
Nor do I believe that as lovers we should have to tolerate the stories that have come along with their kin or family's that also serve to destroy any real happiness that the couple may have.
Until a Universal Creator is acknowledged so that we stand as sovereign bodies because of that Truth we will be forced to live in stories devised by the ego=god mentality and need to compromise ourselves for proximity, to be close to or cohabitate with others.
