Barnes, in the final essay of this infinitely beautiful book, says:
"Grief is the price of lovers’ courage."
And he begins:
"You put two people together who have never been together before. Sometimes it’s like the first time they tried to tie a hydrogen balloon to a hot air balloon: would you rather burn first and then fall, or would you rather love hit you first and then burn you?
Sometimes it does, and something new is made and the world changes.
Then, sooner or later, for one reason or another, one of those two people is taken away.
And what’s taken away is more than the sum of all that was. Mathematically, of course, it probably isn’t possible; but emotionally, why?”
I think we have accepted the pain and sorrow and come to terms with it.
But sometimes we want to go back and continue to suffer, even more than before.
In fact, grief is like a disease, a disease that goes away for a while and leaves no trace, but may flare up again and affect the person even more severely than before.
I'm ready to listen and talk to you for hours about this book, my friend... If you've read this book, talk to me😌 14 replies
