An ode to the Mechitzah
The twitch of a curtain, a veil
hiding for us your purity and virtue
the allure, the magnetism, the attraction
revealing one tefach, hiding two
but when the curtain falls, revealing all
the mystery is gone
and the cold harsh reality sets in

why do you always think the unknown is more interesting than the known? perhaps when you let the curtain down more depths are revealed.
It is the work of the imagination / Yetzer Hora that is always more enticing that the real world.
tk - no offense, but does the sutton have to be brought into every conversation? perhaps it's just that some people aren't ready for anything serious, so they look for reasons to dismiss people.
Who said anything about people being dismissed. My point was, however you want to look at it, the unknown always seems more interesting than what you know/can see. And it would apply to dismissing people too - perhaps that unheard of, unknown will be better than what I can have now.
Chag sameach to all.
And the reality is only as harsh as you make it.
The mechitza usually doesn't run till the street, so you end up seeing the unseen anyway.
Esther Esther where are you? i can't reach you, where are you?
nice
A little like the mystery in the blog world. Because so many hide behind the 'veil of anonomity', they seem so much more alluring. They could be anyone, anything - a myriad of possibilities...
But in reality, life 'aint all rosy... Nobody's perfect (tho' I'm so close, it's scary!)
Time we stopped expecting perfection, me thinks, and saw the 'flaws' in that reality as the beauty that makes us different, makes us who we are.
Ok, enough waxing poetic. Get to bed, Chai... But I think I got my point across.
Chai - well said

LRH,
Does that mean you'll play with me?

It's the attraction of the forbidden- the more they tell you not to look, the more time you waste trying to look through the lace.
