A student and a teacher


My man.

Sigh...

What? you say. Is it a good sigh, or not?

It's a good one.

He had his appointment with the counsellor. I can't wait to meet this guy. He really doesn't seem to speak 'C's language and they are really having some semantics issues- or, at least 'C' is.

From what I have heard of this fella, I don't think I will jive with him, linguistically anyways, either. However, I will understand why and what he is saying, much to my other's frustration I am sure.

'C' has issue with The Four Agreement's approach, examples, and overall ambiance. Apparently, the book said that you shouldn't be with someone that you don't love completely. If you don't like them in anyway you shouldn't be with them.

"Well how does that work?" he asks, "there are things about you that I don't like," he says to me (what? how can that be?). "So, I guess, I shouldn't be with you. This book's stupid."

Then, he goes to the psychologist and says as much. They discuss his dislike of the book in general. The pysch says, "read it until you don't hate it."

Hmm. Interesting. I may not like this guy (already, and I haven't actually met him), but I think I like that answer. I think he has a very interesting and challenging point. I may not love the book, but I don't vehemently dislike it. This book rubs 'C' such the wrong way, it's almost comical.

Of course he should read the book until he doesn't hate it, or be so annoyed by it. That's a big part of his growth stunt. He is so staunch in his own head- it's barricaded by unrelenting... staunchness (where's a thesaurus when you need one?).

The fun doesn't stop there. They also discussed, or came to the conclusion that the reason he has a hard time forming friendships or getting to know other people is because he hasn't gotten to know himself. Same goes for intimacy. He was advised to go home and ask his wife for some pointers on how to learn to love himself.

YEAH BABY!!!!! YOU GOT IT! THAT'S THE ONE. DOC...YOU ROCK!

small disclaimer: Apparently, he's not to ask me based on my brilliance, but on the fact that I am the only one who does, actually, know him intimately. Lucky him, I just happen to be brilliant too.

Yoga. That's my answer- for starters. I think he should do Yoga. That'll learn him some self love.
Mantra: Yoga=self love
