Cosmic Plinko

Taking someone for granted is rooted in believing that we can ever completely know someone,
and I don't think we can. Every person is a universe unto themselves, they have different experiences that guide their decisions and reactions, and no matter how long you know someone or live with someone or date someone, you will never, ever, fully understand their way of doing things. The trouble arises when you think you do.

However, bouncing things off of another in conversation is essential to understanding the universe within yourself--your way of doing things, your reactions to the small stuff, the stuff you sweat when you know you shouldn't.

Anyone remember Plinko on The Price Is Right? You're that ball, and everyone else is those pegs. We need each other to get where we're going.
