“Who's the head bull-goose loony around here?”
Ingredients:
- Two people
- Insecurity
- Expectations and assumptions
- Stress
Infuse two people with insecurity. Season each liberally with expectations and assumptions. Knead until tender.
Mix with stress. Bake in the heat of a fight for control until painful to touch.
Serve raw when a firm callus of anger, hurt, resentment and selfishness appears. Add tears to taste.
Two souls “committed to love one another for life” often act like combatants committed “to the pain” — “I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.” Lunacy indeed. And sadly, all too common.
One flew east. One flew west. One flew over the cuckoo’s nest.
