Too Close: A Human Being’s Soul

Inspiration from Friedrich Nietzsche’s aphorisms

“Too close. If we live in too close proximity to a person, it is as if we kept touching a good etching with our bare fingers; one day we have a poor, dirty paper in our hands and nothing more. A human being’s soul is likewise worn down by continual touching;” (Friedrich Nietzsche)

We’re dreaming, we’re longing for proximity, we’re doing almost anything in order to be near another human being.

We are humans, we need love and what we consider to be the features of love.

We need love.

The other is our beloved one.

Do we often enough take in consideration the needs of the other one?

The needs of being close to herself, alone with herself?

Do we remember to cultivate the aloneness without becoming slave of the togetherness?

From Aphorisms on Love and Hate, by Friedrich Nietzsche
