@under_the_carpet – Do we not disappoint even ourselves?Regardless, when does being rid of risk outweigh what we've now forsaken? Our love in the very depths of our vulnerability is what makes our love so valuable.
I wish I knew. I really have no clue. I wonder if people can actually be all on their own for all their lives without getting depressed or anything else. But the risks seem high to me. being ridiculed ad wounded, and then you are alone again, and everything is just worse. I think it's a personal question, there is no answer that fits everyone.
Been reading your C. S. Lewis. Good man."To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." "To love and admire anything outside yourself is to take one step away from utter spiritual ruin..."http://www.btinternet.com/~a.ghinn/greatsin.htm
