You have been fine.

I believe that you will find your relationships more meaningful if you view them more abstractly.

See how all women are the same, and all men are the same. Fall in love with womanhood as a whole, rather than with a particular woman. See the sameness of all the peculiarities, virtues, and flaws. See not the uniqueness, but rather how each peculiarity is just another iteration of a universal theme. We are all crazy. Most men grow to love their wives?Eflaws; enlightened men grow to love womanhood�s flaws.

Once you know and love womanhood as a whole, you will see meaning. Whenever you meet a woman, you will already know her; you will already love her; you will not feel betrayed when she behaves as all women behave; she can do you no harm; she will never disappoint you. She does not need to tell you anything deep, for you already know everything.

Have you seen the new version of Apocalypse Now? That movie has a scene which I feel illustrates the concept beautifully.
