Two people meet . . .


Two people meet: self-image meets self-image. Nothing happens.

Two people meet: my image of you misinterprets you; your image of me misunderstands me. We fight.

Two people meet: one remembers that he is seeing an image; he feels superior and begins to patronize the other. My image of superiority meets with your indignation. Image looks coldly on image. Image vows revenge.

Two people meet: they know about this; they don’t go down that road. They talk, also in silence, without comparison, without contrast, remembering who they are, remembering who is the other.

That is a different world.

Thus is a different world created.

    It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this brilliant blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
