So what you are saying, Eric, is that life is an arena in which your goal is to learn to love?

I think you are right. Life truly is about learning to love. Powerfully. There’s a trick here, though, and that is that you sometimes have to move apart to increase the love.

Life is full of paradoxes.

The way i see it:
Love is a law of nature to reach a certain harmony, a merge betweem two individuals, yin and yang. There is a natural cohesie betweem two individuals to reach this harmony.
Life is a pad to learn lessons and finding a way through this law of nature, to reach this harmony.

Greetings,
Eric

There’s no wrong word in what you are saying, Kraye. And if I pretended to know exactly what we’re doing, I would be lying. But we are certainly not doing this because it is the easy way out.

This is a very complex situation, and Cathrine and I feel that we have given it all of our love and consciousness. We may still turn out to be wrong of course, but we are in agreement that this is the way to go.

It still fucking hurts of course, and I would lie if I said I have not shed a tear over this. Love and life is confusing is all I can say. And my only compass is that small inner voice. It spoke for us both and we obeyed.

And I miss her.

“And starting a family now would force me to call off those plans – or at least put them on hold.”

How so?

There’s that line from, “Illusions”, “Argue your limitations and, sure enough, they are.”

Or from a movie, “Don’t tell me why you can’t. Tell me how you could.”

While there is no “right answer”, “You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.” Albert Einstein

Not engaging with the “problem” is one way of “handling” it.

Kraye.

Mohamed, Leon and Eric: Thanks, guys. It means a lot to me. Especially when I hear I’ve struck your heart, Leon. A man’s relationship to his heart is often complicated. He’s so afraid to feel it, and so constrained by not doing so. I’m glad you feel it. Makes you powerful.

Thanks, Andrew. Indeed we will see what happens to the two of us.

It’s good that the two of you have managed to stay close friends. There seems to be a quality of heart-connectedness – or soul-connectedness – that doesn’t go away when a great and long-term relationship ends lovingly. It means a lot to maintain that through a friendship.

Thank you for your well wishes. And thanks a lot for tuning in during this challenging time.
