Are all the relationships that you and I have, that are presently in our lives, simply a relationship between images?
I have an image of my girlfriend. She does this and that, behaves this way and that way and i know that when my image say or does certain things that her image will do/say this or that in accordance with what has previously happened.
The meeting with an old friend is based on my image of him when we were together at University, not with fresh eyes and a blank page.
Do i find security in these images? Am I safe in the knowledge that this or that will be the same as it was before? Do I find it easier to live with my images of people rather than the reality of that person?
The image is a concept, a conclusion and ideal. They are unreal. What is real is what is taking place right now.
