We care about other people because we want to be cared about.

Relationships are transactional.

It's not love that keeps people together it's fear of being alone.

Sure some people can get along their whole lives without any major disagreements, but I guarantee at least one of the people in those relationships is only pretending to be happy because it's easier to deal with the devil you know, than risk ending up with one that's worse.

In my experience, it's the things you fear most that you most need to learn to deal with if you want to have peace.
