Love and Illness…

Besides all the rather disgusting and punishing things of a cold, I noticed it has some positive points to stay at home. You don’t have to move a lot and you don’t need to worry so much about what happens outside in the streets. You can easily relax in the bed and watch TV while you’re suffering from coughs, a sniffle-nose and pain in your limbs. You can have moments of silence and think.

The most positive moment is however when you hear the voice of the beloved one by using Skype. So cheap, so simple, and so natural. What would the world be for two loving souls if there’d not be the technological mess of the internet? It delivers us a close situation of reality while the stagnation of our separation continues within our lives. It allows us to feel the wonders while we feel the pain once the sounds are turned off. Its a paradoxon of modern relationships – instead of having a net-relation and trying to meet „in real life“, the situation is turned around. While having a relationship, we’re trying to meet on the net. And I notice how many things are missing from the real relationship. Separation is good for everyone as a relationship can turn one upside down, one who depends on the other soul and who knows what love means for both lovers.
