“Reality is in secrecy, not in openness. Because anything can be reflected outwardly, it is open to manipulation. Whether that reflection is genuine or not can only be revealed when a deep relationship is developed with that person. The sacred hides. A genuine soul does not scream; it whispers. True connection, the kind that shakes the bones, requires mystery and unknowing. But modern culture, in its desperation for validation, has sterilized all tension; dating is now a checklist, or friendship is now a series of performed affirmations. Everyone is "relatable," and thus, no one is real.”
