One is being able to get past yourself in the moment you recognise yourself being at a loss, or failing – and the other is organically posthand. By acquiring knowledge about whatever you had to face and failed, why it happened and how you can do better – those of us that want can benefit from the experience, even if honest selfrealisation is a hard thing to face. That is all fine and well, but what really gets me is the timeconsuming element of the latter. The first seems such a quicker way to move. You’re there, you fail, then you correct it and you succeed. How hard it is to attain.

The quotation: “You come to, amongst the wreckage of your own making (…)”, suggests that most humans aren’t able to autocorrect faults but need this lengthy self-educative process. But how many feelings are hurt this way and how much could we have saved our loved ones if we were to step up on the ladder of realisation every now and then.

Much younger, I wrote the sentence: “We have to constantly wait by bridges in order to love one another”. Fifteen years down the line I’m finally figuring out what that really meant. Why couldn’t have I just understood it there and then?
