Affection, the forgotten emotion between love and lust

We all live in a world that reduces everything between a man and a woman to sex. The man should always be deemed to chase this goal, a woman to also crave this, but take the man on a long detour. As for love, well how long does that last, and how happy are people when they experience it ?  No , affection lands inbetween and will out last time almost, and any stupid things the other person does. It is simply the forgotten emotion, often confused with lesser, more questionable emotions.

Tunnel vision

I think the biggest fault I have is not seeing the big picture of life. We are all obsessed with the moment. If we pause and add up the good things we have ( and that takes some effort ) we may be surprised at the picture we conj our.

I often look a single part of my life at a time, darkly. As you broaden out the perspective you look at , the picture will rapidly brighten. Yes, time provides eventually, but this modern age demands now ! We can never be satisfied constantly. Ebb and flow. I used to understand this well once. I was patient by the season. I need to recapture this mind set. The more specific we are, the more miserable we'll be.
