Nothing is difficult for those who love.
Pan plays his music and a woman reaches out to him, looking (in my opinion) like a twitchy meth-head in need of another fix. Her submissive posture makes my skin crawl - call it addiction, manipulation, or control, but don't call this love. Even the doves have their backs turned to them. Authentic love is a bond that creates two strong individuals, not two unhealthy ones. It doesn't require a person to leave his or her brain at the door, because the relationship is based on an equal partnership. I will always have choices in my relationships, unless I choose to surrender them to someone else.
From the Philosopher's Stone comes "Solution:"
Up against a brick wall, a question mark becomes an exclamation point when seen from a different perspective. The value of relationships, besides companionship and compassion, is they allow a variety of ideas to be shared between people. For instance, when I do the Sunday crossword puzzle with my mother-in-law, it helps to have another viewpoint when considering the clues. If the clue deals with "diamond," I might think of the gemstone, but she might also consider a baseball field. However, solutions are more likely to be found if both partners feel comfortable in sharing their thoughts and opinions.
