The things that bind us

It has been some time since my last post. And allot has come to pass..

So here is what has been occupying my mind: The things that bind us... What are those things that bind two people together whether it is for a short bit or for life... is it something that we project onto other people or not My thinking is leaning more to the notion of projection...
Thus with the passing of time the other person fits our projection or not which i think is a tricky thing... Seeing that we all grow and continually change...

Anyway what are these projections that we place on the other person? I think that it could be a combination of several things... like notions of or prince or princess that we dreamt about as children, images of our parants, characteristics that we appropriate from fictional figures or fictional ideas we have about other people...
I my case it is the notion of the muse that becomes the images that gets super imposed onto the other... and it is this image that gets imposed onto the other...

But the question still remains what is it that binds me not only to the image but the person....

I think it is mutual interest that initially attract, mutual respect that gradually bond, and eventual love that finally bind two people, for whatever period of time. Often our emotional state at any given time creates such a poignant link towards our own unique memories (as two no two people remember the same situation in exactly the same way)that it is no longer the truth that we remember, but our truth, our emotions, and our projections of ourselves, as mirrored by those we admire.

Memories.... ya they are funny things and i agree the two people remember things differantly as they say there are three sides to all stories your side my side and the truth but the truth is based on fact an not emotion... and that is the problem with memory emotion plays a very important roll
