AFTER MANY YEARS OF STUDY AND WORK, THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE: HUMANS NEED INTERPERSONAL CONFLICT TO GROW: CONFLICT CAN BE CREATIVE, NOT DESTRUCTIVE We humans are in this life to learn. we learn by interacting with each other; we attach in order to survive first and learn second; we fight in order to individualize and keep learning other lessons; all experiences teach us something about us and our relationships; our task is how to develop nurturing, learning experiences through which we can grow. There is only room for mutual help, understanding, and respect. You can learn to transform any relationship into acceptance, recognition and love. How can we learn from each other, how can we learn from you and you from us? Nora Femenia, PH.D.
