Those highly influential forces are very dangerous when hiding behind
thalassic curtains. I have to uncover them, and understand thoroughly
all these emotions and drives that move me. For instance, why do I
seek the people I seek.
It's clear to me we all seek people who have life in them. We just
have different assumptions on what having life means. I like those
who have life around them, wherever they are. Whether it's
intelligence or curiosity, their presence is vital to me, and I feel
attracted to them, intellectually, or romantically sometimes as well.
It's like growing up in a place where people are all emptyheaded and,
I'll be polite here, just plainly uninteresting with boring talk
about beer and football and cars and women, and then you meet people
with Ideas, and they seem to be aware of the big world beyond. They
talk about international politics, music, science and world history.
They might live in a very little town or a faroff house, but their
presence and knowledge makes up for that. The opposite doesn't work
for me.
And I like myself being like this, and it's a nice protection against
solitude. It's also one of the factors that determine the way I
string my life into the innerverse. It's one of these Gravity things
that keep a rivalry between Ilium and Lazuria.
