Sometimes devotion becomes obsession. For example, when you’re driven to achieve specific results in a relationship, whether or not the other person is on board.

Are fixated on the ideal relationship? Is someone attempting to overpower you by desecrating your sacred partnership rules? If you’re trying to pressure someone into doing things your way, or they’re insisting that the exchange must happen in a way you find objectionable, it’s time to step back. As soon as anyone reaches the point of “this must happen and you’re going to agree with me” you know you’re in distorted Pluto territory.

A man, who feels himself to be half wolf, wanders through the rainy night streets of a European city. He comes across a strange door in a wall and sees this sign, or thinks he sees it, but then does it disappear? Magic Theatre Admission not for everybody — Not for everybody — MAD PEOPLE ONLY Harry Haller, the protagonist of Hermann Hesse’s masterpiece, the short novel Steppenwolf, is having a bit of a crisis. Not only does his own life feel meaningless and empty, the world around him, especially the bourgeois world, seems hypocritical, deluded (and yet, and yet, strangely […]
