Dear Tyson, Thanks for mediating between our suggestions. You asked if one must fight for love also. I would say yes. The right to recieve it and give it in return. What is life but a series of struggles, some we understand for what they are right away and some that take years to grasp a bit of. Jeri, you are struggling and it's a struggle of luxury, be happy you have such an opportunity to show what you're made of. The best ideals are ones formed from adversity. An unspoken or written ideal has no enemies. It can't defend or refine itself. Don't be afraid to test what you think you know. You may find yourself revisiting home truths and updating them. What makes one mentally unable to deal with society? It is a lack of elasticity in what one thinks versus reality. If you keep thinking Tokyo while in Atlanta, you will forever be comparing, and finding no rest. You are in two different countries and in some ways two different planets. Don't loose sight of the differences in culture, as culture is as decieving as me being in the Cesar's Palace, when little old Waterloo has just as much beauty, but in a different way.. :)Good Luck, Love Arete
