8. What is psychological time, and why is it a source of conflict?
9. If two people have a relationship of conflict and pain, can they resolve it or must the relationship end? And to have a good relationship, isn’t it necessary for both to change?
10. Would you please go into what you mean by reading the book of your life at a glance or with a single look?
