“Kris rode in silence, only now beginning to realize that by not giving her a little comfort and encouragement that he had made a nearly fatal mistake. Her self-esteem was far more fragile than he had guessed. And her nerves were plainly gone. Now he thought he knew why she would venture no judgments at all, and gave him her opinions hesitantly, and only when directly asked for them. When he asked her, back at the Station, she avoided answering all questions about how she was feeling, answering only that she was “all right.” He began to wonder if she’d ever recover from the incident ... and he began to fear that he’d ruined her.”

“Cuándo la persona que amamos nos quiere a medias, con limitaciones y dudas, la sensación que queda es más de agradecimiento que de alegría, como si estuvieran haciendo un favor. *Una buena relación no permite reparos afectivos.* Cuando el sentimiento vale la pena, es tangible, incuestionable y casi axiomático. Y seguido no pasa desapercibido, no requiere de terapias especializadas ni de reflexiones profundas. *Se destaca y se nota.* Cómo decía Teilhard de Chardin: “¿En qué momento llegan los amantes a poseerse a sí mismos plenamente, si no es cuando están perdidos el uno en el otro?” Si hay dudas, el afecto está enfermo. *Sanarlo implica correr el riesgo de que se acabe; dejarlo cómo está es hacer que el virus se propague.*”
