Sharing a conversation before college to decide a major or decide if somebody should screw off and leave that crap all together. Sharing your fear of your lawyer quitting on you during divorce proceedings in acceptable ways on Facebook or Insta or Twitter or goodness sakes YouTube if ur famous bc together we can change it for the best. Sharing a joke when your daughter falls in love with her 58?ish year old professor slash comic writer like 16 years after u supported her film school. Sorry dad. Sharing a laugh. He wasn't my professor. Sharing love and peace like civil human beings without something to prove... like in the way that you make known how love and peace are good. Like the best things ever.

 [ "Partnership Culture" ]

1: A model of culture and human relations based on partnership, linking, and respect. Women and men are equally valued; both men and women can be nonviolent, empathetic, and caring. Opposite to Dominator Culture. In a partnership system... Humans have many possibilities. Difference is valued. Power is used to empower and nurture through hierarchies of actualization. Competition means striving for excellence. People cooperate for mutual benefit. Economic structures are equitable. Nature is highly valued. Morality of sensitivity, caring, and respect. (Based on the Center for Partnership Studies' summary of points from Riane Eisler's _The Power of Partnership_ and David Korten's _The Great Turning_)
