At first you think this is a really good person, and then down the line you discover that the person is self-centered, narcissistic, angry and uncaring.

The world seems perfect and rosy, and we cannot bear to think of ever living without our partner. Yet, the reality is that more often than not there is trouble in paradise; after a period of time spent together, the rosy hue dissipates only to be replaced by a sepia toned world. The divorce rates have gone up around the world in the last few years, and break ups are as... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/414 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/414 Sat, 23 May 2009 04:08:06 PST Human beings are social creatures; in our day to day lives we are constantly meeting and interacting with people, and creating relationships with them.

We not only nurture that plant with water, air and fertilizers, but also protect it from any damage. Friendship is one such plant.

We make sure our bodies are fed, cleaned, clothed, exercised and rested. We also make sure intellectual stimulation and entertainment is a priority. Yet we also overlook the most important need -- love.Of course, as a society, love is not overlooked. Popular media constantly places great emphasis on what we need to do and how we should look to attract "love".
