Sometimes when dealing with someone you can see they have bad motives and may even mean to harm you. At the same time, you see something else in them, something higher and better

You let them harm you. Not out of masochism or self sacrifice but for some other reason at least partly informed by the something good in them you saw

I believe this comes from a higher drama happening over and above us, a drama we can only sense and whose details we may never know

After many years, it may make sense

What knowledge we may have of these dramas as they come to us and go away is beyond language, beyond even poetry, more real than the fleeting realities of common cognition

For me, these dramas appear on the edge of my awareness where they intrigue me for a long time

Maybe the dramas that contain a sense of both good and bad motives are the ones that stand out for me
