We need irritation
We need differences. We need irritation. Seek out these. This is life. Life is growth. Life needs growth. Male needs female. The Why may be generations off: new generations looking for flowers and scents and the reverberations of tympani.
But irritation takes an opening—to your own tendency to close down in its face, as well as to the other’s new thing. A tenderness too, and a searching—of you and your other.
So I need to seek out irritation and conversations with persons I already know rub my fur backwards.
