Willie, why is it that human nature seems not only to resist this but more often than not can’t see it or at least doesn’t understand it?

That explaination just so resonates with me.

I’ve been thinking about harmony in relation to relationships lately…….

uniformity and stability seems to take personality out of the mix, forced conformity comes to mind. As Rick mentioned, flat and simple with no complexity would be the outcome.

Harmony in relationship speaks to me of an act of freely giving oneself as a gift to the other and in return the other is freely giving of themself also. No manipulation, no rules. Freely giving from a place of love not fear. Once manipulation or control enters, harmony or what I like to call hororable relation is gone.

So if it is stability (uniformity)that is achieved, it seems it would rest on rules that have been met and must continue to be met. In my experince that seems like fear based conformity not harmony.

Music…. When you have uniformity, you have only a flat simple tune, a solo. When you have a harmony you have different parts that work together to bring to life a much fuller and richer song.

I’ll think about that further…
