How do you convince someone that lives in extremes that a little bad isn't a reason to give up and walk away. A little bad is an expected state of being... a normal challenge....it doesn't have to destroy everything. How do you share a perspective and keep a positive attitude when it feels like you are either totally loved or totally loathed. No tolerance for mistakes, permission to show weakness, or belief that problems have a purpose.
Living in extremes is something that is so hard to understand. I see the good and bad, wrong and right in almost everything. There are many right answers to one question...and with creativity even more can come about. It is possible to love someone with all your heart even if you are angry at a behavior.
Perhaps hope is the answer. We need hope. Hope that emotions won't cripple, that understanding will grow, that faith will remove the barriers, and that love can endure all.
