There are different opinions regarding social issues or spiritual philosophy. Any perspective, side of an issue, or point can be carried to an extreme in relation to others.

The subject for today's blog came out from a letter to the Editor of Back to Godhead in the Nov/Dec 2007 issue.

The saying that it, "Takes two to tango" is a very old American expression. It is a dance from my parents' era. So I am saying it takes two to dance, which also may be dated, but you catch my drift. (It is more fun to do the "Swami step" in kirtana with more people than to do line dancing or to be thrown around in the mosh pit.) The idea I am getting out here is that relationships are between two people as are conflicts and disagreements. (People are sometimes conflicted with different "parts" of their psyche which is like two or more "persons", but that is not important here.)

On my way to and from the Northern California Redwoods, I stopped in San Francisco which is basically my hometown where I spent 14 years of my life. In general I don’t feel particularly nostalgic for this town I grew up in though I do have a fascination for my past and how it has shaped me psychologically---as that has caused quite a bit of difficulty in my spiritual practice.
