i just helped aunty anula bathe the puppies! ahhhh the pleasantries of spontaneity. i wish it could last forever... but the thing that makes it so beautiful is its transience i guess. a lull is only so because of wat comes before and after.
There is something so beautiful in a pairing. Lets just put aside the differences between philia, eros and agape; put aside the differences between friends, siblings, lovers and soulmates. Lets just talk about 2 people.
In a sense, a pairing is the most basic, fundamental form of human interaction. It begins with a mother and her child. The exclusive love that a mother shares with her child is so selfless, so all-encompassing that it is likened to agape. And from that moment, our natural propensity to share our life with another is borne.
Each person is like a lock, to which we all are potential keys. And when the two come together, a door to a new world is unlocked. A world of hidden talent, actualization, flowing peace and above all, completion. When a brother plays with a brother, when a mentor coaches his mentee, when loved ones quarrel, when spouses consummate their passion, when 2 acquaintances sit down to chat... there is vast opportunity for differences to be made. In the interaction of an individual with another, despite the kind of interaction, the teeth of the key align to the grooves of the lock, and the door to change is opened.
As much as we value multitasking, networking and charisma, I think we are truly made for one person at a time only. Of course, communities matter. But the community and the individual fulfill different aspects of our needs. I don't really know if there's a hierarchy, but I know that we truly need both. Because when two people come together, it just seems so... apt. Correct. Perfect. It can be a heated argument, a worldly chat, an intellectual debate, a healing conversation, an exchange of ideas or a soul-to-soul sharing. Whatever the interaction is, as long two people come together in the ideal manner, they take on the shape of a double helix - they spiral around one another in ascension.
"Every person is worth your time, Hannibal. If at first appearance a person seems dull, then look harder, look into him." -Hannibal Rising. laughZ this belief is the key to the potency behind my truth or dare qns. tsk tsk.
brian really planted a seed that took root that day, when he elucidated on his vehemence towards cliques in the sec 4 interviews...
hm... inspired by... departures. yup watched it with ivan that day. laughZ but the trigger was~ ytd's ppopp. totallyZ. omg can think of slogan lehhh - 'change the world. one person at a time.' totally.
lolz i just realized... that this is the kind of thing that made the bishop (Decline of Controversy) say "Another evidence of this same disrespect for rational foundations is the general readiness of the modern mind to accept a statement because of the literary way in which it is couched". just because i use extended metaphors coupled with analogies that evoke pretty images i assume that it is enough to convince someone. no logic, no argument, no... dialectic. no syllogism, no proof tables, no exposition, no thesis statement. but man... leave that for the machines. the mentats. i'm just a soul reaching out to another. rationality is not part of that equation, however ironic that sounds~
