You are two halves that need to be filled up separately in order for the whole to be fulfilled. You and your lover are two separate entities-you are not one entity. It will be up to your lover to fill theirs if the overall percentage is to be raised. The liquid will simply overflow and puddle.

In order for the glasses to be 100% full, they both need to be filled up all of the way, but only you can fill your cup and only your lover can fill theirs. Let’s say one glass is yours and the other is your lover’s. Imagine two glasses that are next to each other. This is one of the key mindsets to understand in order to maintain a healthy relationship.

It was as if the author, Christine Schutt, had her trusty Word thesaurus immediately on hand, ready to whip out at any moment to form absurd sentences instead of creating readable literature-as if her way of being “creative” was to write so evasively and nonsensically as to confuse the reader into thinking, “Damn, this MUST be the newest form of erudite art I’ve got to HAVE it!” purely (sure, why not?-pun intended) because they don’t get it at all.Īs many readers and writers know, Ernest Hemingway is famously quoted as saying: “If a writer knows enough about what he is writing, he may omit things that he knows, and the reader … will feel those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them.
