I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that "window of the soul",the eye.I can only "see" through my finger tips the outline of a face.I can detect laughter,sorrow,and many other obvious emotions.I know my friends from the feel of their faces.But I cannot really picture their personalities,by touch.I know their personalities,of course,through other means,through the thoughts they express to me,through whatever of their actions are revealed to me.But I am denied that deeper understanding of them which I am sure would come through sight of them,through watching their reactions to various expressed thoughts and circumstances,through noting the immediate and fleeting reactions of their eyes and countenance.
In all this great serenity of ocean it is seldom that we espy so much as another ship; the jolly dolphins and the scratchy little flying-fish have vast circle all to themselves,‘the flying Fish,who has a part with the birds,” and doubtlessly are glad to see the last of the monster which bears us into and out of sight.Our wake closes up and we might never have been.But it does happen from time to time that an island appears on the horizon,nameless to us and full of mystery,the peak of a submarine mountains range,lonely,unblemished,remote.Does one like islands because one unconsciously appropriates them,a small manageable domain in a large unmanageable world?Dominate dominant
No woman can be too rich or too thin.This saying often attributed to the late Duchess of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times.Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.
The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it.I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes.Consequently,I have been on a diet for the better --- or worse --- part of my life.Being rich wouldn’t be bad either,but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land,leaving me millions of dollars.
Where did we go off the track?When did eating butter become a sin,and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing,if not repellent?All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating,and excessive eating in one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins.However,until quite recently,most people had a problem getting enough to eat.In some religious groups,wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals,and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today,the opposite is true.We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.The result is that being fat --- or even only somewhat overweight --- is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.
