We always wait for someone... we think that by their descent all our pains will be erased... we imagine that with their shining on our dark worlds, confusion and bewilderment will dissipate, and peace will flood us... we deceive ourselves, our greatest deception, when we whisper to ourselves during times of pain... that someday... with someone nearby... we will feel complete! But we forget that our flaw is internal... and that our deficiency is fixed in us like an operating system... and that the very person we saw as the savior and the way to liberation... might be the one who will give us our greatest disappointment... and gather all our gaps into one big gap! And perhaps instead of flourishing beside them... we might wither... and retreat... and fade away... and melt! We forget that we need to improve our companionship with ourselves and heal our souls’ flaws... before we wait for the other to descend... The other will never be our paradise as long as we only seek to numb our pains through them... and in truth, that relationship is nothing but an unconscious distraction from meeting ourselves and facing our true selves! Dysfunctional relationships start here... when the relationship becomes merely an escape and flight... and nothing more... And the ones most prone to making wrong choices are those who eagerly wait and anticipate with excitement... faces become confusing to them... and they pour their emotional emptiness onto a passing face, seeing it differently from its reality... Those who think they are quenching their thirst by chasing illusions...!(Even when it comes to them, they find nothing) !
