I think this is because people in our culture are pretty much disconnected
from their feelings/needs most of the time. We are generally unable to stay
"with" ourselves long enough to sort out what "I" need from what "the other"
needs and come to a strategy that meets the need we both share (connection,
balance, order, beauty).
