Is there a citation for this, or is it of your own creation?

Heh. You're the second person to ask. I'd love to know why!

Yep. I wrote it. But don't let that change your answer :>

It is my attempt to summarize some pretty intense truths that have come to me this week.

While not surprised about these concepts like angerie I can say at least that I've heard you speak of this before.

I understand the conundrum. What kind of solace can we find in love and trust when we 'know' it can be taken away? It's the kind of act that takes it away, that's the thing. A person worthy of trust is that way because they would *not* do anything to remove it. The issue is getting to know somebody... when you first meet them and have illusions about who they are (yours or theirs) then you are unable to give as much trust or love as you may be inclined to.

Benefit of the doubt is a good start. Doubt when it is proven necessary.

So much more that I want to write but my student is preflighting for our next flight and I have to get out there. More!

So glad you wrote this.

I'm surprised to see you say you've struggled with this concept

I've addressed almost every symptom of the concept, but lacked the concept itself until Tuesday night. Water is wet, wet, wet, but sometimes I've grown up believing otherwise - and faith of those early, ingrained principles can be hard to question or even identify.

I'd like to hear what brought this up.

I'll get back to you on this privately. It's a little too personal for the public part of my LJ. :>
