Is Your Love Ascendant or Descendant?

What state are you in relationship with your fellows? Do you love a few, tolerate more, and coexist with the rest, or do you coexist with some, tolerate more, and love the rest? In the first case you are in a descendant state. In the second an ascendant state.

Descendant

Ascendant

I am a fan of the coexist bumper stickers, but recently thought, "would it not be better to tolerate your neighbor then to simply coexist?" and "would it not be better still to love your neighbor?" This lead to my conclusion that loving more should be a natural goal.

Coexistence is the least common state within a society. I wish we would do better than that. This tool is a way to simply count your relationships according to these buckets to discover if you are in a descendant or ascendant state. To transform from a descendant state, look for ways to adjust your attitude towards some you simply coexist with and discover tolerance, and find ways to accept a loving relationship towards those you tolerate.

If you have relationship states transcendent from love, more power to you. If you have relationship states below coexistence, then shame.
