This morning I had some thoughts about the types of love, Sternberg's triangular theory, and the purpose for relationships in our lives.  Perhaps relationships form a huge part of our personal identity.  They are integral in meeting the familial or parental part of our psyche.

It occurred to me that I have been referring to the triangular love concept without giving a purpose for it.  I remembered how this helped me see that passion is only a part of the relationship and that the other two parts are given less value.  I thought about how each part of the triangle is a integral need that we have.  If we lack passion in our relationship then we should consider the value of intimacy (companionship) and commitment (security).

I also thought some of the nature of identity, of personal makeup and of conscience.

In the evening I got to go to a meeting.  We talked about prayer and meditation.
