what about what you don't want

Everything was more or less good until something resonated the wrong way and then was left to fester. Who survives such foolishness unless someone else chooses to look past it? That was the case yesterday in London with Boris Johnson's Senior Advisor Dominic Cummings., whose coming and going was brought up for scrutiny in light of quarantine laws. Thus, the observation of before and after. What was the catalyst that sent a perfectly lovely experience into one of enmity? It suggests that no matter how high minded I want to appear to be, I too have my limits and standards regarding friendship, and that tells me that I reacted to something that I have a strong feeling about within myself. I like you as long as you like me? When you suddenly start finding fault, I become thin skinned. Why are you suddenly being so contrary? Why are you making demands on me? How can relationships just flow? They do? But then, we are always shifting and adjusting ourselves to slight and severe views that we aspire to. Thus all of this becomes amusing. What is the fight about? You didn't behave as I expected, so now I draw a big black marker over your head and shun you. Or you shun me and a thousand little cuts. What are we really protecting? Let me hurt you before you hurt me? Nobody wins this insane pretzel test!
