Quote by Juan Rulfo

“That man you refuse to mention by name has torn your Church apart, and you've allowed him to do it. What should we expect from you now, Father? What have you accomplished with the authority of God? I want to convince myself your a good man and that the people there hold you in high esteem, but it's not enough to be good. Sin is wrong.”

“If you develop many strong enthusiasms that never seem to last – about a new hobby or career, the possibility of living in a different city or country, buying the latest iPhone – idealization may be at work, especially if the ensuing degree of disappointment is equally intense. If you often find yourself thinking something like Everything could be great if only such-and-such would happen, then you have idealized that future event.”

Disappointment Idealism

Author:Joseph Burgo

“Dissatisfaction with the actual is what usually leads people to frame ideals at all, or at least to hold them fast; but such a negative motive leaves the ideal vague and without consistency. If we could suddenly have our will, we should very likely find the result trivial or horrible.”

“I knew he would date again. Probably within weeks, just like Max had done. I imagined all the women Jethro and Max would date, while they were “confused” and “not ready,” standing next to each other in a long factory line. Each of them would give these men something—a story, a weekend away, their attention, their advice, their time, a sexual adventure, an actual adventure—then they’d be forced to pass him along to the next relationship. These men would emerge at some point, full of all the love and care and confidence that had been bestowed upon them over the years, and they might commit to someone. Then, most certainly, another one. Then another one when that one got boring. Their greed would not be satisfied by one woman, by one life. They’d get to lead a great many lives. Life after life after life after life. Because these men wanted to want something rather than have something. Max wanted to be tortured, he wanted to yearn and chase and dream. He wanted to exist in a liminal state, like everything was just about to begin. He liked contemplating what our relationship might be like, without investing any time or commitment in our relationship.”
