Imaginary relationship

Imaginary relationship
Or
The life of words
Or
Parallel living

It is so much interesting that a relationship can evolve on words only. We haven't experienced nothing together but had a few hours of conversations, where we just asked and shared and bantered and flirted. Everything exchanged was in our minds. And suddenly we see each other closer, more connected than before.

Everything changed only in our minds. Our lifes are still separated by 500km, we cannot lean on each other, we cannot touch, we cannot count on any help but there is this intimacy build on words. We are bolder, freer, more open to ask, empathize and reveal ourselves. I understand the voice, intonation, gaze and body language is adding or polluting the conversation.
 
We are stuck in this state without any possibility to advance, in the near future. How long can we survive in this state? It is not natural, it is not healthy and it does not add veracity to the relationship. The wizardry of words has no currency in real life. Who knows what coward or bitch is hiding behind a craftsman of words. Who knows what skeletons are we hiding and prefer the warm feeling of flirting words. People are defined by actions not by words and the easy example is Donald Trump.

Are the said words not the same as your believes and past life?
We all tend to embellish our achievements and find justifications for our mistakes. Our mind wants an easy past, with our image basking in glory. For actions, there is already more than believes, you decide to change the status quo and take a position. The actions are already putting you in a slice of reality and people could judge you based on them.

When life is slapping you hard, actions, deeds are the exits. And then the ruptures happen, large gaps between words and reality.

But still, in real life is the same emptiness. I imagine this as reading a book: after a few hours of wandering through someone life it looks very familiar, it gives you confidence and free judgement. It's only an illusion, a figment of imagination with no applicability in reality. 
Are the books, movies, songs, art just simple drugs for our soul, emotions?

Is this addiction and the imagination flames important for your well being?

What happens when one of us will feel the emptiness of the words and wants to go and live the life with others, no imagination, no dreams, no desires, real stuff happening with you. You will not answer any messages, any emails, look at any photos because life is giving you too much to compensate with virtual life and artificial.

I have to find the path to move from imaginary to real life, to be slapped, to kick and get kicks in order to live my life. 
 
Sometimes the dreams are too big for our life and we have to let them fly, like a giant balloon with a long thread keeping it anchored to the ground.

Still grabbing the thread, for now, because I don't know better.

When gaffes are used strategically

Photo by Kyle Head on Unsplash You probably heard that swimming in rough waters in life will reveal your own character and of all the people with you, caught in that moment. It is always unexpected and, exactly as in movies, it begins with a peaceful background and a monotone sound. Everything is unfolding slowly and without any clues that deep gaps will be revealed in any way. It is like a crack in someone's emotional fabric which becomes a wrecking ball for the characters caught in the event, for a short time span, sufficient to project them on a different life orbit, for good. Some people are calling those events "interventions", others fear them as "dark spots" where secrets are emerging as an iceberg unbalanced by some life event. The repercussions are deep and memorable and entail subsequent turmoils, like a burning lava which will flow down for many days to find a peaceful landscape to cool off. The characters are the same like in normal life ...

The Big Split

Photo by CDC on Unsplash   Detect immunity One of the numbers broadcasted every day is the number of COVID-19 patients who recovered. Instead of being fixed on detecting people with corona virus, we should be fixed on detecting the ones who had a mild version of corona virus or even were asymptomatic. Once we know they can freely move, socially mark them in a certain way (with a special certificate).  They could be the soldiers of opening closed businesses or helping important economic sectors. They are on the other side of the fear, all the COVID-19 restrictions should not apply to them. It is not known for how long is the immunity lasting, but at least, these people should come back and revive the industries and get the jobs and make the economy re-start. It is a small number, but they can propel some ideas for the ones in the isolation (see below). That should be the second most important decision of our governments - detect immunity, instead of just...

The sprint to stop an epidemic - Corona virus

Photo by Trust "Tru" Katsande on Unsplash I was reading about the developing efforts for a vaccine reflected through the stock market. It happened to have a few shares of the VIR Biotechnology ( VIR ) company when the chase of finding a vaccine started. It was an incredible ride, even for a guy accustomed with the up-and-downs of the shares in a company and the political game played when companies are bought or acquired. Just for illustration, please see the chart of this stock for a three month period. There is excitement, at the beginning  of March about the possibility of developing a vaccine for Corona virus, and the stock surpasses 70$/share when before is was lingering under the 17$/share threshold. There are many companies in the race - Moderna ( MRNA ), Gilead ( GILD ), Inovio Pharmaceuticals ( INO ) and probably a few of them will find a virus. What I don't understand is the effort spent in parallel of fighting the same cause. It is a lot of ...
