Absence

If you read my blogs you'll notice I write out of experience... so here goes another one.

I've learned this: "Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire." 

Now this has two analogies... because not only the bon fire represents a passionate relationship but it could also represent a hate... and the candle could represent peace or dimming relationship... 


But I feel as well that whenever there has been an absence it gives the space for the relationship to weaken, and the presence of it strengthens it.. (Basically: "Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.") but also being present gives the space to weaken the relationship because the truth is obvious.

... confusing.
