RE: Contest | 25-Word-Comment - Monkey Business | Proverb - 6 Steem
Good contest format. I hope this takes off..
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
When you are here I am so close to you that I almost can't see you. We are one in many ways. I joked with you the other day, "Being with you like is being alone." We are that close. As if we share the same mind. See things the same way.
When you are away I think of you fondly. I miss you. I anticipate when we will share some time together. The separation gives me a chance to see that we are not one. We are two. I can see you better for who you are. A separate entity. A dear, dear friend. My love and appreciation for you increases.
This reminds me of a quote by Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, "Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.".
Thank you for sharing this entry. Very thought provoking.
Interesting. I give you the oppossite
Uit het oog, uit het hart
(Out of the eye (sight), out of the heart)
It sounds as if there's a proverb for every situation. True? Can be the fear of brands and their commercials and ads.
Good entry @jiva34 I hoop too this will take off. Freewriters only @wakeupkitty?
@jeff-kubitz share your proverb you too @mad-runner!
Out of sight out of mind - is the form of the proverb here
Hmm. seems there is some difference in the two proverbs. Subtle but possibly significant. Attachment of the heart.... and thought of the mind.
Yes there is. Mind is thought reason. Heart is closer, feeling
Thanks
Good point. It seems there can be two sides to almost everything. If there is love then there is increase in love. No love then even the mind cannot hold the person.
The mind can hope, keep alive or go nuts
ha ha.. Crazy mind. Please get some good guidance from intelligence. Wake him up if you have to, tends to be a bit lazy.
Fingers crossed that's true and the one absent doesn't start a new life. Love seems to be hard in a wide, wide world.
