Forcing people together is an enjoyable conflict to watch, but I think it's even more enjoyable if they love each other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To say that we mutually agree to coercion is not to say that we are required to enjoy it, or even to pretend we enjoy it.
I can't advocate people not liking each other. But... I'd prefer it.
We just can't shake monogamy. It definitely demands a kind of rigor and discipline and selflessness. But it's also fun.
I don't like a tremendous amount of conflict. I don't think that fighting and passion are the same thing.
I believe that love between people is the greatest life-giving force in the world. It's intensely frustrating and inevitably makes a fool of you, but you can't stop going back to it, and it's pretty much the defining experience of a human being.
On TV, the children can watch people murdering each other, which is a very unnatural thing, but they can't watch two people in the very natural process of making love. Now, really, that doesn't make any sense, does it?
I think it's an interesting thing to watch when a person is trying to keep it together and then ultimately when they do lose it a little bit.
Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think it's a wonderful thing.
That's what I do and I enjoy even the hateful moments of a relationship where two people or four people come together to make a bigger mess than originally intended.
I feel like it's the most unnatural thing for two humans, especially of the opposite sex, to live in harmony under one roof. You realize how different men and women are.
