Päivän neuvo: kun kohtelu on täysin asiatonta, en itsekään käännä toista poskea. Hallelujaa teillekin.

River of no return

How many takes?
She was very sweet. She was a comedian. She was very shy. She was fuck me. She was very uncomfortable. She was convinced, she was not very sexy and pretty. She didn’t have an aura of sexiness about her. There was some magic about her, she would play at it. She would burlesque it. She seemed like a lost child. It seemed to her like Alice in Wonderland and she could not believe it. Anybody was very serious about her. She really felt she didn’t have the inner qualifications to fulfil the image of a sex goddess. She thought that the whole thing was a lie, because it was not her. She would never feel worthy. She was very very difficult. She was vulnerable. She was weak. She was teary. She was struggling. She was falling apart. She was hurt. She was an addict. She was needy. She was difficult. She was in pain. She was adorable. She was drunk. She was nice. She was childlike. She was late. She was lovely. She was hanging on. She was calling me. She was calling everybody. She was caring. She was unprofessional. She was sexy. She was beautiful. She was funny. She was doing the thing that was wanted of her, she was not doing what she wanted.

Just don’t hurt anybody, right? How much hurt there is and by whom, is what we constantly need to listen to and go through, since people hurt each other like mad and punishing for it is like a right, punishing for being hurt and hurting. Who gets hurt the most is like a competition, a drama of life. What kind of hurt do we register and pay attention to is interesting as many are hurt and discomfort even is giving anxiety, is making us feel worse. On level of feelings, things have gone berserk. Who can be hurt and how as many people do face constant harassing and bullying and to what extent do we care and should care about discomfort and pain? What does discomfort cause, what kind of discomfort are we talking about and how much can we handle, must be asked, because for example homelessness is an extreme discomfort. Are we more fragile now? Most of us, live comfortable lives materially. Threat is another matter, but we are under constant threats. Do we create our own discomfort by thinking about it, not caring about other people’s comfort and hurt and how much our own garbage can we pour on other people as constant hurt of life surfaces like an illness? There are people who we are allowed to hurt, who think against ideals. How much consideration is needed, because it is obvious, consideration isn’t the strongest feature of many. And yet, we have evolved because of discomfort.
