Friendship

(C. Jardin) #1

Oh.


Do you imagine there is anything that happens in your life that I don’t know about?


I suppose not. I just don’t like to think about that.


Why not?


I guess because some of the stuff that’s happened is stuff I’m not so proud of.


So?


So the idea that You know all about it is a bit discomforting.


Help Me understand why. You’ve told your best friends about some of these things through
the years. You’ve had lengthy conversations deep into the night in which you’ve told your
lovers some of these things.


That’s different.


What’s different about it?


A lover or a friend is not God. A lover or a friend knowing these things is not the same as
God knowing these things.


Why not?


Because a lover or friend is not going to judge you or punish you.


I’ll tell you something you may not want to hear. Your lovers and friends have judged you and
punished through the years a lot more than I ever have. In fact, I never have.


Well, no, not yet. But on Judgment Day...


Here we go again.


Okay, okay, but tell it to me once more. I’ve got to keep hearing it.


There is no such thing as Judgment Day.
