ABSTRACT

There’s no question that conflict is important. And we connect because we also strive, hit obstacles, suffer.

“Life is suffering,” the Buddha said. “And such small portions,” Woody Allen says in Annie Hall. But, as I’ve said, there is more. Connection is the other half of the story-of our lives and the stories

we tell. Good screenwriters understand this intuitively even though connection is essentially overlooked in screenwriting books.
