"Let me be clear. I understand very little, least of all the people closest to me."

Human Chemistry

Human relationships, as it turns out, bear a striking resemblance to chemical reactions:

*Some things mix well, and others simply do not.
*Sometimes, you are surprised by how well things mix.
*Once mixed, some of these things produce simple - even bland - results. This is not a bad thing.
*Not everything continues indefinitely - sometimes when the reaction ends, it's just over.
*No matter how much you might want some things to mix, they may just fail.
*Sometimes you can mix things that wouldn't work otherwise, with the right catalyst.
*Once in awhile, the reaction looks okay, but one thing is completely consuming the other.
*And last? In a few cases, the reaction between things is so violent and powerful that, if not carefully watched, it will end catastrophically.

Just a thought for the night. More to come, maybe.
