The doctor smiled tolerantly.
“Don’t you get it? I’ve given my most profound love to an illusion!”
“Are you under the impression that the object of everyone else’s love actually exists?”
“Is that even a question?”
“Sure. For the majority of people, what they love exists only in the imagination. The object of their love is not the man or woman of reality, but what he or she is like in their imagination. The person in reality is just a template used for the creation of this dream lover. Eventually, they find out the differences between their dream lover and the template. If they can get used to those differences, then they can be together. If not, they split up. It’s as simple as that. You differ from the majority in one respect: You didn’t need a template.”

da Peter Herrmann's Blog, posted in Senza categoria

Province — using this term is often perceived as an affront. But perhaps that will change and people will look longingly back to the real world, where life was simply more comfortable? Consumo ergo sum — I consume, therefore I am. It is probably a global trend, even though consumption still varies greatly in terms … Leggi tutto Culture tour — To The Provinces In Europe

Culture tour – Greetings from afar.

A break, leaving the office for a short walk across the campus, around the small pond in front of my office building, my thoughts lost in life between worlds – a privilege not to be here on holiday.
