the medal of strangeness

S: However close I tried to get to them, the further they moved away from me. They were impossible.

A: They made themselves impossible. You still think of them?

S: I remember their indifference. I remember them as an enemy.

A: Why? It does not follow.

S: This world is full of the enemies of love. They are one of them.

A: You mean the enemies of your love.

S: Exactly. You can talk to them everyday and they will keep you as a stranger to fear. They will never connect with you. No matter whether you love them or not. Our love is the least consideration.

A: Why think of them?

S: They are the world. The world supports their separation from us, their distance from us. The world builds this wall between us. This world is suspicion, hate, hostility, prejudice, false assumptions and intolerance. This world is unlove. And they are unlove.

A: This villain in your story, let them keep their villainy. They do not care that you find them the villain. You are the hero. Whether or not you are loved by the villain, there are those that give you the place in their hearts. You have built yourself a wall against the villains that none can break. An impenetrable silence and scorn. The wrath of a tiger scorned.

S: The only thing that could break the wall is love. And they have no love in their hearts. Still, we lament the wall. And the unlove of the world. What there could have been if there were love in this world.
