ORIGINAL: WinsomeDefiance Not to toss Darwinism into the mix, the successful organism isn't the strongest or most intelligent, but the one most able to adapt. The word preserve is related to the word preservation; hence, your comment is silly. I understand that the etymology of the word and where your intended meaning wa to preserve "keep from harm". Another current meaning of the word is to maintain - keep the same. Which is the point I was making. Apparently, you have been having the same relationship issue. If what you have and how you think is unhealthy and making you unhappy- why would you want to preserve it? The fact that you can't adapt, re-evaluate your thought process and apply some Critical Thinking to your actions - ....oh never mind.
