(I am thinking about some feedback I got back in
November. Meanwhile, in the spirit of
New Year’s and the Mardi Gras season, here is a “light something” I wrote for a
prompt on “rhyming pairs”).
One of my writing projects is subtitled “The Mystery of Our
Attraction”—meant to deal with why certain people attract us, and how we react
to people who are attracted to us.
I am led to wonder why we tend to mistrust people who are attracted to
us. Because we are afraid of being
exploited and used?
True love would not exploit—but how often do we find true love?
I wonder about the Attraction Impaction—how their attraction affects
us; the Attract Impact, or the Attracted Impacted (like an impacted tooth?) or the
Impacted Attracted— and how their own attraction affects them.
Since attraction is often actually lust or at least connected to
it, one can understand Lust Mistrust and how attraction can lead to a Trust
Bust.
So “The Mystery of Our Attraction” does seem a worthy theme for a story
or essay. The History of this Mystery in
our own lives might merit attention.
What can we learn from this (heart)burn?
What Burn Learn is possible?
