A determined bachelor's motto (if I might be so audacious)

"I have, I believe, the courage to doubt everything; I have, I believe, the courage to fight against everything; but I do not have the courage to acknowledge anything, the courage to possess, to own, anything."

The voice of A in Either/Or (Kierkegaard)

Im making a face and hand gesture at you over and over again.

"But remain comfortable, swing wildly, blown here and there by the wind, don't touch the ground except for a moment to tell those who risk the wounds of presence (though, admittedly, rarely knowing what they seek) that they can never be there for you (where would they go to find you"

Thats the perfect most protected reason never to do anything for anyone.

Have you ever felt someone reach you in your high and lofty places? When it should have been in your power to deny them, yet there they are?

Have you have reached someone in their high and lofty places? When it was in your rights to forget about them, yet there you are?

High and lofty places? You referring to God? Don't know anyone else who belongs there. These are imaginary realms that those who refuse to mark out territory on the ground create for themselves (above all of "those people") or for those they admire.

"yes to any of those is why im not really stressed..." Then we agree.

I don't give a crap about your stress level, that has nothing to do with it. And marriage-bachelorness - these are only (in this case, fairly revealing) symptoms, not the disease. Don't "analytic philosopher" me and focus on things you know I'm not saying.

Presence? Or being a peeping-tom, a voyeur, perhaps even...peeking?

Or maybe you are present, but, barring a small few, just to those to whom you'll never be obligated. We men do love our one night stands. Not admirable, but at least you're standing somewhere...
