Like any relationship, it all boils down to “compatibility”. I fear that when we're young, we are attracted to that which is different in a person… and my
[COLOR=#E27500 ! important][COLOR=#E27500 ! important]philosophy[/color][/color] is that that is the very reason so many relationships which are started in youth, fail. As we mature and get to know ourselves, we realize that it is the things that conflict with what we believe to be true and right that cause us to seek more like-minded people and we actually start to grow apart from those we were once attracted to.
This is not to say that it is not good to be mentally challenged. I believe this is completely different. I believe that it is our “core values” that drive whether or not we find a person to be:
- “challenging” and therefore our experience with them to be rewarding as they offer us the opportunity for personal growth;
- “conflicting” and therefore our experience with them to be frustrating, irritating and lacking any purpose or direction. These people may even hold us back from reaching our personal potential.
