My forbidden relationship that is a threat to the safety of mankind
In dealing with some people I feel like the white man versus
native americans.
I can choose to understand their world, but they have the greatest
difficulty understanding mine, even if they wanted to.
In my case: they
DON'T want to.
People fear the unkown and what doesn't fit their vision
for the future. A vision they outlined without taking into acount that
there's a world outside themselves that can't be controlled.
A lot of
people are the tyrants of their own lives and the persons around them.
I wonder if the sweet, well-meaning parents of my girlfriend would chop
off her hand if it gave them the full reassurance that she would never
mary me.
Now I have some experience with rejection and the thing with
rejection is that it's so easy to do so.
I'm damned if I do and I'm damned
if I don't.
I'm lucky they don't/can't realize that I don't give a
damn.
Because the world doesn't implode when she and I sit together on
a couch and I show her good movies, good literature and good music
while she shows me the true value of things, teaches meFarsi and offers me more than just a
peek behind the curtain of her culture.
It's painfully funny how some people
spill their energy trying to torpedo something that is just a
relationship,
nothing more than two people who enjoy spending time together.
We don't
harm each other in any way.
And I am exactly what she needs. Maybe not
for the next twenty years, although that's possible too, but at the
moment, I add something to her life that was missing.
And it makes her
HAPPY, so it can't be that bad. (an idea I borrow Sheryl Crow)
Love, peace, empathy (Kurt Cobain)
Kind regards from a writer who's never going to pretend in order to
please
