They do say opposites attract, I'm willing to accept this if "they" say so, but never surrender your dignity...sure save the warmed spot, but don't surrender it -- some ancient Greek said sleep on your left because it rests the (left-sided) heart and keeps the organs (mostly on right) unencumbered / suspended (whatever) That said, Buddhists believe right-side...go figure!

PS sorry to bring pseudo-science into your beautifully conceived metaphors, mayday
