Getting to know someone, entering that new world, is an ultimate, irretrievable leap into the unknown. The prospect is terrifying. The stakes are high. The emotions are overwhelming. The two people are reluctant really to strip themselves naked in front of each other, because in doing so they make themselves vulnerable and give enormous power over themselves one to the other! Better to maintain shallow, superficial affairs; that way the scars are not too deep, no blood is hacked from the soul. But I do not believe a beautiful relationship has to end always in carnage, or that we have to be fraudulent and pretentious with one another. If we project fraudulent, pretentious images, or if we fantasize each other into distorted caricatures of what we really are then when we awake from the trance and see beyond the sham and front, all will dissolve, will die or be transformed into bitterness and hate. I know that sometimes people fake on each other out of genuine motives to hold onto the object of their most tender feelings. They see themselves as so inadequate that they feel forced to wear a mask in order continuously to impress the second party.

If you are your own person, I am in dire need of a friend in you. In the meantime, I remain beset by a clamoring but unseen chorus of despair and fury. Please write! Neglect of your neighbor near or far is a crime.
