too close....

My friend decided to comment on that rant:

Interesting thought though, nice to be away from everyone but not too far. I guess it is an extension of nice to be close to someone but not 'too' close and it could be the 'too' bit that is important as it is hard to get over it.

The tricky bit is finding someone worth climbing the mountain for and getting too close to (conjure up log fires, chunky jumpers and a spot of snow outside at this point).

And just when you think you have made it Mohamed moves the bloody mountain!

Many a paradox which I think is summed up by girls are evil ;) or as a compromise boys are evil.....

When do you get too close? Is there such a thing? Is it too close when it's gone wrong and the pain is so awful?

Finding someone to become close to and to share life with...but then it's taken away...do we become embittered and not allow this to happen again or learn from it and do it again...risking it happening again? "You cannot find peace by avoiding life"

or are we going to repeat until we find "the one"..."This can go on and on - series polygamy - until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfilment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter."

Summed up, I think, by people are naturally curious and are never happy with what they've got...do I add a quote from big yellow taxi here???
