Dear Satan:
I think purgatory must be worse than hell. What do you think? I'm
tired of
relationships that are not here or there. Can you tell me what's the
fastest
way to hell?
~searching for a stairway to Hell
Dear SFTSTH
There aren't any stairways to hell, only elevators. But be careful
what you ask for. Truly hellish relationships have things like
cheating, betrayal and abuse. There's plenty of that to go around
because everyone's at least a bit sado-masochistic. If that's all you
want, just get involved with someone you don't care about and hurt
them. Now, is purgatory worse? It depends on the person. The more
sadistic or masochistic a person is, the more they may find themselves
in hellish relationships. At the core, it takes two, baby. You can't
have bondage without a dominatrix; you need an extra set of hands to
tie those knots tight. If you find yourself in relationship
purgatory, or even in relationship limbo, then it may simply boil down
to incompatible partners who aren't willing to meet your
needs--whether that involves pain, pleasure, or both. However, beyond
these daunting matrices of satiated desire, the most important part of
relationships is mutual growth. The ability for someone to meet your
needs is a great start, but the ability for two (or more) people to
grow into each others' needs is paradise.
love,
Satan
