The development of allies in life waits to be discovered by most of us. People need each other to get anything done in life.  Yet we often ignore possible ways to draw together. Remembering another’s names and interests is wonderfully supportive of them. Answering their questions with eye contact takes practice and listening without interruption always endears them to oneself.  Really, this world is a better place when we do these things, and alliances build naturally from friendship and respect. Peace is our obligation, and we are all obligated to learn these skills.
