Every time I've started a relationship people ask me how it's going and I tell them perfect...but there's always been something I've noticed about the other person that I absolutely knew would be a problem. I swear, I'm not just looking in hindsight though it is a confirmation of my thoughts at the beginning. Always something not right BUT...everything has been completely amazing; I see no bad. These characteristics that I see in him seem to be a foreshadow of all the events and ideas that are to come. It's not just that either, there's something undefinable, something I can't exactly pinpoint that I am absolutely crazy about.
Plato had this idea that we are attracted to certain objects and people not because of the physical and mental characteristics we find appealing BUT because we see the Goodness in them. We see God through them and are closer to truth and wholeness; they become a portal to salvation.
I don't know. Maybe I'm jumping the -proverbial- gun but...
(Just a thought as I wait for Christopher to get out of class.)
