things that didn't burn


do people enter our lives at points of significance? or do the construct themselves in order to set up comparisons? 

can people who have nothing to do with each other and still function to enhance the others function in our lives? 

of course .. because our subconscious is the common denominator . . so do we perceive people as foils to one another in order to process our relationships? or does this hinder our knowledge of the people we surround ourselves with?

and if so how do we see someone clearly? without transference? without hind sight? 
are we supposed to? 

or do we look different to every person close to us because they are also perceiving us with the same calloused eye? how can we ever know the field we are playing on if we don't know who we're playing against? 

how can we develop as individuals in another's narrative unless we know who the characters are that are effecting how we are perceived?

are we really just supposed to depend on the dialog? . . take all confrontation at face value? where is the perspective in the analysis? 

can we truly have that? or does that cheapen experience? 

and after all this what is there cheapen if we can't gain full perspective to being with?
