We've all mastered the art of manipulative communication - meeting eachother half-way at safety points, where unspoken agreements provide us a middle ground at which we can fake our way through some interaction, playing along with social norms, so as to not stir the pot.
The glue of society: compromise. We can "unite" and get along for the most part. But get real about what's really going on or try to change things and then some people don't like being exposed to the reality they couldn't see or didn't want to look back on. Good post :) Resteemed.
