Romantic relationships are really a business because each of the two participant is trying to get the most from the other person by giving them the least. They are also a negotiation and can culminate in a partnership and children. In fact, most romantic relationships are started, knowingly or not, to allow the couple to have children.
C.M. Fabara realized that contradicting the prevailing understanding of what romantic relationships and love are, romance is really a business where the man and the woman both work to get the most they can by giving the least to the other person. Of course, sometimes participants in a romantic relationship "fall in love" and start giving the most they can to the other person. However, their purpose is always to get the most in return. Also, keep in mind that love is basically need. And the way it works is by making individuals feel love for someone they calculate will be able to and will satisfy one or more of their needs, such as sex, protection, connections, etc.

Get the Lifestyle Acuity mug.Consequence-based Eating is eating taking into account exactly how what one eats will affect one's digestive system. Whether it will digest what one ate easily or with difficulty, slowly or quickly, how eating that food will make one feel—energetic or lethargic, happy or sad, healthy or sick, calm or anxious—and how easily the waste will exit the body.
The opposite of Consequence-based Eating is "Instant Pleasure-based Eating"—not thinking about or asking oneself the above list of consequences. Most people are not accustomed to ask themselves how a food they eat or a drink they drink will affect them. Most people are probably unaware that it is possible to know how most different foods will affect one's body, because most foods have been around for thousands or many years, and those who know, know how each food affects the body. For example, there are foods which clean the body and brain, there are foods which are known to detoxify the body, and there are foods which inhibit mental and physical agility. One rule of thumb is that certain foods are fresh and alive, but other foods are dead. All the above also applies to drinks. The best drink is water, it refreshes and detoxifies. Having a bowel movement as well as urinating gets rid of the waste from our trillions of cells, as well as most toxic and other harmful ingredients in the foods we ate or the liquids we drank.

Consequence-based eating is not automatic, nor is it the norm. It takes many years to become cognizant of the many benefits of realizing, remembering that, for example, food A causes effects GBP and that food B causes effects RSW, and eating accordingly. The best way to increase your knowledge about which food does what is to read books on health, and write in your journal how what you eat affected you and your digestion, and your bowel movements and urination.

An example of an 'indirect attribution' is, "It was determined that 'unless exempt by diplomatic status, all persons entering the United States, including U.S. citizens, are subject to examination and search by Customs and Border Patrol officers'." Transformed into a "correct attribution" that statement would say something like, "In August of 2009, CBP Directive 3340-049 laid out its policies on searching electronic devices....In the course of a border search, with or without individualized suspicion, an Officer may examine electronic devices and may review and analyze the information encountered at the border.” Though correctly attributing an action increases transparency and accountability, and generally furthers the common good, it takes more time to say and/or space to write.
