Strangers
    #7317431 - 08/21/07 11:01 AM (16 years, 7 months ago)

I like being a stranger. It feels really good to meet someone and be friendly and spontaneous with the knowledge that the other person doesn't have expectations of "who you are" and "how you act".

I want to be a stranger to the world. I hate "knowing" people and being "known". It's emotional, psychological, spiritual paralysis.

Also, I am just afraid to be open and loving which keeps me from deeply connecting with others. Maybe there's more to be explored there.

I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Much more.:heart:

Yet you will always be a stranger.

Losing personal history has the benefit of dispelling the illusion of being known.

The only reason being known feels like paralysis is that you're thinking of it in the past tense, rather than a continual knowing. As if, once you've presented yourself to someone for knowing, you are stuck being whatever it was they first observed.

Sometimes friends cannot handle continual knowing, and they fade out of our lives when we change. That's fine, as it leaves more room in our lives for those who will accept the fluidity of who we are.

That is a very reasonable answer. :smile:

Agreed.  And for some reason, many others seem to view these sort of opinions as bizarre/depressing/anti-social :confused:

Well from what I observed in people who get confused seeing you in other ways than they "thought you were" are usually looking for fixed personalities/situations because that's how they feel safe. :shrug: And that's because they're used to see and live life only from a single angle...

:bunny::bunnyhug:
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

:bunnyhug: :yinyang2:
