Trust?

I'd like to learn how to love without either a) trying to find constant distraction in a partner, or b) trying to find constant comfort with a partner.  I'd like to trust life, live it without looking at the constant act of breathing as a struggle.  And I don't.  Trust life, that is.  Suspect that if I could, the loving without seeking rescue or entertainment -- that would just happen.

I think I'd ask Allen: Is there something you trust without being able to predict it?

If he says yes, ask him to specify.

If he answers something like God, that's a cop-out because belief in God requires no proof, and if he can't come up with something else, the answer is no.

Smiple, right? :)

I mean, there is such a thing as blind faith, but it requires a lot of courage and the ability to overuse suspension of disbelief.

If you want to live in a more or less predictable universe, then suspension of disbelief must be temporary, and you must therefore be able to predict something about your life to be able to trust what goes on in it. That's my answer, at least.
