On SEXES and LOVE
Helen Fisher tells us why we love and cheat:

"Love consists in overestimating the difference between one woman and another" -Bernard Shaw
It's not a balcony that you "fall off", it's more like a razor's edge that you walk on; and you can fall in either side ... and it may as well take two to release enough of dopamine and oxytocin (or poetically put: Passion!) to pass that critical threshold and tip us over that edge ... the difference between something and nothing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhDuYfZa5dE

Flourishing
Flourishing is associated with dynamics that are nonrepetitive, innovative, highly flexible, and dynamically stable; that is, they represent the complex order of chaos, not the rigidity of limit cycles and point attractors.
Appropriate negativity is a critical ingredient within human flourishing that serves to maintain a grounded, negentropic system. The complex dynamics of flourishing first show signs of disintegration at a positivity ratio of 11.6
Human flourishing is optimal functioning characterized by four key components:
(a) Goodness, indexed by happiness, satisfaction, and superior functioning;
(b) Generativity, indexed by broadened thought–action repertoires and behavioral flexibility;
(c) Growth, indexed by gains in enduring personal and social resources; and
(d) Resilience, indexed by survival and growth in the aftermath of adversity.
