Wrestling

“If you believe you can completely map your partner, then you do not really know that person. […] A real relationship is a wrestling match; it is a grappling phenomenon from which you both emerge transformed.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

The truth is none of us is static. We are ever evolving and changing. We contain multitudes, as Walt Whitman said.

Dr. Peterson reminds us to not settle for basic knowledge or boredom. Curiosity in life is key for success.

Life requires an affirmative action from us to grapple with things and each other. This evokes the image of Jacob wrestling with God, telling God that he will not let Him go until He blesses him.

Wrestling is a fight where you don’t let go until something is achieved. The goal and result being transformation.
