Opposites

It is so odd how opposites here seem to be the same.

I broke a rule - a very basic one that should be habit by now. I had to be zapped. If she hadn't we'd have lost respect for each other and for the ideas that make 'us' work. So I needed a zap for the good of us both and she was sad to have to do it.

Now the odd part...

I felt this wave of emotion when she said that she was sad at having to do it. She had no choice and didn't want to and I felt so close to her even as she did it (and I did it in RL).

I was glad and deeply touched by her sadness. I got that way you get just before you cry. But if she hadn't had to zap me, I'd never have felt that. I was as glad for the zap in a way as I was for the closeness I felt to her.
