The situation is appealing. It is as mind-numbing as it is mind-blowing. Caught between a rock and a hard place could suggest a thing, yet does it?
I could be with someone but I'm on my own, stuck in a centre of a triangle or quadrangle of women who would — under certain conditions — be my partners. They're all great in their own way, nevertheless none of them is perfect in the way I'd like. And, of course, I don't fill in their world either. Should I lessen my expectations? Should I lower my head? Should I cheapen myself, being already cheap enough? Or put it the other way around, should they get used to me? Should they accept me the way I am, they way I think and act? Should they lessen their expectations instead?
Should anybody compromise for the sake of getting closer to a vague happiness? Is that satisfying? And what about other reasons that are driving us — none less than the first one mentioned. Vanity, social acceptance, fear. There's more and more to think of.
As always, so many questions, so few answers.
