- After my four-year relationship ended, a friend in Kentucky sent me a
- care package that included her copy of _The Road Less Traveled_ by M.
- Scott Peck.
-
- That act alone was a very cleansing one for me.
-
- I was only able to read the first section, Discipline, at the time. I
- finished that section and read the first few pages in the second
- section, Love. Unfortunately, at that time, I was not strong enough to
- read the section -- I was afraid that I would find something hidden
- underneath my pain that would symbolize that I had been "at fault" for
- the ending of my four-year relationship.
-
- I now have my own copy and will be returning my friend's copy to her
- because it is she now who needs the act of giving.
-
- As fate may have it, my SO and I reconciled our problems three months
- later and have been happily dating again for the past seven months.
-
- Life is wierd,
- -- Bob
