- Go to Again on totalitarianism in love
Good post, lorri. We are totalitarian in everything we do, initially. It
is all about power struggles and our compromises within each situation. But, if it were at all possible, each of us would control every aspect of our lives. As Matie suggests, we all think we're right -- at least, initially.

I love your blog. 
Normally, you wouldn't stop the daily routine in your life to think about the way you interact with other people, but it's interesting to reflect a bit on how much do we think we have the absolute truth in the world. Do we consider we're always right in everything? If the answer if yes, that should be the basis for any kind of totalitarianism in the way we think and act in our lives.
