I had an idea which promises to be one of the most liberating thoughts I've
ever latched onto.  It is this:

There is no qualitative difference between friendship and romance, only
quantitative.

Really, don't friendship and romance differ only in how MUCH you give and how
MUCH you want (emotionally, physically, etc.)?	Makes sense to me.

This is certainly going to free me up to relate in a considerably more relaxed
manner.  I am amazed that, in all the years I've been struggling with the
question, not one of my human advisors ever told me this.  I had to reach this
through prayer, the ultimate psychotherapy.
