The Duchy of Jerald

So, my new friend, if you are going to church, and you want me there for company, I'm going.
It's my responsibility to find something satisfying, the music, the art or the pretty women to look
at, whatever. I'll not act like a pouting 4 year old about it and make everyone miserable. I'll not
put conditions on it, my liking you, your very loveable traits, because its not in my best interests
to do that, then try to get my needs (for communication, companionship and sex) met. It's self
defeating. It's self helping to accept our differences without conditions. It's self helping to accept
myself, you, and the world without these conditions too. Otherwise I'm just being a 4 year old,
holding my breath till I turn blue. You promised to have the secrets of the universe goddammit!
The search for perfection is the search for loneliness (David Burns, Intimate Connections, 1985).
Or, I highly prefer to have the secrets of the universe, but I don't have to. I can still find
satisfaction in community, music, art and pretty women, by going to church with you.
Life is a satisfaction, not a business deal because life is a relationship that requires
unconditional acceptance in order to be satisfying.
