Each of us, needs our illusions. Heaven. Life after death. A God - TopicsExpress



          

Each of us, needs our illusions. Heaven. Life after death. A God to pray to when we are desperate. Something to hate. Something to worship. Law and order. Power and wealth. Whatever they may be. But one thing can not be – by definition – illusory. And that is trust. It is both the beginning and the end of love. We think people are a mystery when we do not know them. There is this ‘otherness’ that we think we could never manage to know. That they live behind high walls and across moats, in places we cannot reach. And once in a while we meet one who makes us want to breach that otherness somehow, and we wonder how it is done, by magic or science or by dreaming. And once in a greater while, that one person invites us - which is the only way across the moat. To be trusted. What we do with their invitation, with their trust — says who we are in the end. And decides if there is a story to tell one day or not.
