I've seen no lacking in this site that would warrant needing a new one like it. By the way, I much appreciate what everyone's had to say on the matter, both the criticisms and the encouragements. I don't like to quarrel. Many people really enjoy quarreling, they just don't like the possibility...

The main concept the OP is presenting is the notion of "personality chemistry", as in romantic relationships, but being extended to apply to parent/child relationships as well. I know that "chemistry" does make it easier or harder for people to work together, but being sincere toward one another...

Most of the problems with broken families these days have to do with 4 related factors: 1. HUMILITY - A general lack of humility in modern culture. Humility is a natural symptom of honest assessment of the human condition. To be overly proud requires one to feverishly cling to ignorance of...

I'm not naturally very outspoken, so I rarely take the time to explain my motivations in Life. This has lead to many assumptions being formed about me, by those around me attempting to 'fill in the blanks'. Being thoroughly conditioned by years and years of TV and Hollywood, etc., they tend to...
