Another AWESOME intent, Andy! The old adage about "familiarity breeding contempt" is just another one of those old sayings that has it 180 degrees from truth. In my life I have found that the more transparent I am the CLOSER people become, and the more transparent they are, the more I desire to be with them, support them -- in a word, LOVE them. As each of us shows our vulnerabilities and frailties we can see that we are all the same -- all one -- and since fear is the opposite of love, seeing ourselves in another releases the fear, leaving us only the Love!

I agree that the more transparent we/they are the closer we become. I recently had my eyes opened to this after a heated discussion with a very dear friend. I would rather die than lose my friend and told him I was ceasing the vile behaviours and living with my walls down with him and if that left me vulnerable and hurt then so be it. And then thought I need to be this way with everyone and in my life. I am making some significant changes in my life - for the better :) Thanks for the support! :)

Thought provoking intent and equally reflectively uplifting comments.

It is interesting because I actually I am on the opposite pole of the spectrum... I let people in very easily, not afraid of letting them in, possibly a form of strenght. While I enjoy being me with very few boundaries sometimes others get to know more how I am than I knowing them. Sometimes in realtionships, being an open book is not the best. This is nothing to do with others, I need to find the balance, boundaries vs. openess.
