I've never understood this world's surface focus, in matters like this and all matters. I understand love, as it is soulful connection, a bond between two souls. I don't understand, or 'get to', this world's application of that, the focus on surface, on translation, on application matters like the physical, behavior, 'results' or even personality (as this is always applied, still). People have tried, in the past, to explain what 'attraction' means to me, but while I may understand the words, I don't 'get' what they mean or it. Where does that come from, what does it mean? How do you assign weight to surface? Where do you take that weight from? The weight surface and application have in this world, is somewhere between strange, confusing, and somewhat silly, to me. In more turbulent times, this weight has been almost frightening, like I'm watching people have something shifted in front of them, watching the person disappear behind their application, their surface, in some way - sort of like what extreme hunger can drive people to, where the body overrides being completely. A soulful connection is something so deeply inherent and beautiful, on a true level of core of being, and that goes far deeper than a being's application - yet this world's application works on a surface, an application level, rather than a true one. You find this in far more than just sexuality (all of this is just a 'result' of this world's application, anyway), even just the way people of this world think, are able to think, and apply things, but I'm not sure if I can express this in any way, since it's just part of people's groundwork here, the same way the groundwork of my home shapes me.
