OIL AND WATER

Too often we encounter relationships we refer to as oil and water -- they just don't mix. Yet the oil is a necessary thing, and so is the water. In fact, we can't live without either one. When difficult relationships go awry, the individuals often suffer low self-esteem as a result of the conflict. This need not be, must not be. The combination can produce something rather spectacular if we choose to see the situation with new eyes, another perspective -- with the simple willingness to accept what is.
