Whac-A-Mole 😉
🤔Pain is the greatest teacher, yet we deny a loved one its lessons.
It is a role we refuse to play, preferring to assume life itself will be there to take care of such unsavory matters.
If suffering is the most austere of mentors then why can't a soulmate also appear in the shape of a great rival or enemy?

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself.“
— Fyodor Dostoevsky
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.”
— Lord Byron
