If something is enclosed within something else, it is connected to it. But how strong this connection is, and what it entails, can vary greatly. It depends significantly on whether the connection is between equal partners, whether it is productive for both, or whether it is perceived as a disadvantage, an injury, or a contamination.What is enclosed may sit within the other like a key in a lock; it may even be imprisoned within it; it may merge with it, or it may simply be implied, like one meaning within another. Likewise, in human relationships, there are countless ways in which one person appears with another, how they complement, complete, or divert each other from their course. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
