There is a strategically pursuant nature to the ways in which people relate to one another. We are emotional predators, and we are physical prey, chasing, luring, devouring and nourishing each other. Our roles as active and passive people are always in negotiation, and these roles often exist simultaneously; or rather, our position in either role is constantly oscillating.
