Most everyone seems to have someone in their life that represents death to them. Those particular and carefully chosen individuals that represent something cold, immobile and annihilating to us. Often we are drawn to these people, seeking comfort, love and approval from them. Even if we don’t quite like them, even if we can tell ourselves that

I miss you lately. I haven't been able to stay up late so I haven't run into you online. Hope we get to talk soon.

Never thought of it quite like this before. I'm gonna have to do some thinking on it...

[xxxkaliaxxx]

I am honored to have made you think.

[poetpaladin]

You often make me think, dear.

This makes a lot of sense to me lately. I would go into greater detail about it, but I don't think I have the time at the moment. Yes, it is indeed that in-depth. I'll just say that I seem to be surrounding myself with a lot of representations of death lately.

We all go through stages where we surround ourselves by death, or people who drag us down, or people who are too cold to warm us up. It is hard but I'm sure you'll come out on top.

I've probably given you some idea of how almost constantly haunted I am by my past; you've helped me to understand myself better, 'cause I'm also equally consumed with the "lust for liberation" you spoke of.

one more thought on the subject:

A term called "the narcissism of minor differences"
defined it is the phenomena where people hate the thing that resembles themselves the most. e.g. civil wars - they are the most bloody of ALL wars. why? because those people are the ones that more closely resemble them than any others.

what happens is that, when somebody most like us is slightly different, they challenge our OWN beliefs and convictions about a said issue. we fight them the strongest because they make us question that which is innate within us, or what we feel to be innate, right, just.

in relation to this post, these are the people we choose, reflections of facets within us that we deny and yet embrace in the process of affiliation with this "other".

Oh yes I completely agree with what you said and had those thoughts as well in regards to my little post but just didn't choose to get into them. Thanks for sharing those thoughts though. You wrote them up well.
