It arrives at my screen at an interresting time i would say, if i believed in destiny or other prewritten scrolls of reality.
to me (in modern contexts) it speaks about a perhaps very well known dillemma of interaction. Should i mind my words so that no one can potentially be hurt by them, or should i learn to deal with my own emotions and interpretations?
I can't give a single answer to it (though i have my opinion), but i find it as an interesting dillemma, where we might have to discuss the potential "endgoal" of human reality and connection.
This is wonderful! My husband and I have been together 20 years. We had both been married before and neither of us wanted to live with anyone again - so we chose not to!!
We kept our own homes, we see each other almost every day (it’s a 20 minute drive) we love our lives and we love solitude.
I’m self employed (psychotherapist) and he’s retired. We always carve out time to do fun things like going to comedy shows, concerts, hill walking etc. I never take it for granted that we both wanted the same thing - otherwise it wouldn’t have worked.
Growing up as a traveling Air Force brat, encouraged the solitary seeking self while also nurturing a lonely child and then adolescent. In moments I gushed passionate desires that frightened others, especially girls in school, or I simply was too shy, self-effacing to speak up and have that middle distance conversation. Certainly can attest to rush to warmth and the retreat from the quills, which commonly led to isolation and asocial behavior. And I have never had that many friends. Ironically I was a high school teacher for 32 years, caring too much (cannot save them all) and also deemed by Admin as being not much of a team player. Now I have reached a complacent acceptance of an emotional middle distance with forays of intimacy.
This was an exceptional piece. Thank you for sharing.
True — but I would have chosen the title “Why Human Intimacy Most Likely Ends in Pain.”
