o.O Oh, cryptic LJ posts.

It's less cryptic when you read this post: http://therumpus.net/2011/06/dear-sugar-the-rumpus-advice-column-77-the-truth-that-lives-there/

And you know that Julia's birthday was on the 2nd

And you know that Julia did not spend very much time on the "obligation to be a decent human being" but, in fact, opted for the "ignore things and hope they go away" strategy. Which, to be fair, I have also done in the past.

It gets more cryptic when you think about relationships and justification and wanting to leave.

Balancing competing people's needs and wants is difficult, indeed. The more emotionally difficult something is, the easier it is (relatively speaking) to ignore and hope it goes away...

Do you disagree with Sugar's advice?

No, I don't disagree. In fact I think it's a powerful statement, and I was ruminating on its many potential applications.
