Recognizing the Shape of Our Wounds

How dangerous is the world? How easily could we overcome a speech, a romantic rejection, a bout of financial difficulty, a trip to another country, or a common cold? How close are we to disaster at any given time? What is the composition of our bodies?

Will our new acquaintances like or dislike us? Will they accept our assertiveness or collapse if we are a little too assertive? Will unfamiliar situations turn out to be a disaster? How tightly do we need to cling to love? Will our lover return if they are absent for an extended period of time? How tyrannical do we have to be? Can we approach a stranger who appears to be interesting? Or do you want to end an unsatisfying relationship?

Overall, do we believe the world is large, safe, and reasonable enough for us to have a legitimate shot at happiness, or do we have to settle for inauthenticity and misunderstanding?

It's not our fault (or, in some ways, anyone else's) that many of these questions are difficult to answer affirmatively. However, by entertaining them, we are at least beginning to understand the shape of our wounds and, as a result, the type of bandages that may be required.
