Antidotes to the 4 Horsemen
From why dont you stop that or youre always
To I really like it when or it means alot to me
Behind every complaint is a frustrated desire!
People argue not about things, but about what those things appear to mean
People make the error that they are unhappy because of their problems and that
they will be happy when those problems are gone.
Regardless of the type of relationship its health rests on the quality of Friendship
and sense of Admiration for eachother.
