Great!

As an effect of my mail on "Taking care for love", I started to study
literature again. Because the theme is love (and because I am German) I
started with Goethe.

Words which are emotionally forced to flow out, yet
words which sustain, strengthen creative learning,
words which do so even through all the pain that forced these words
such words are what I am seeking for.

Most words that flow out of emotional potential, especially connected to
hurt, does impair essentialities, as you discribed in your mail. Someone
who is able to answer to emotional potential induced by such impairing
words with words that may heal or cure the essentialities impaired, is in
my eyes a great poet. After all, isn't this what personal mastery is
about? Not killing emotions in order to become unhurtable but to sustain
creativity through hurt.

One thing is for sure, especially in the context of nations: Hurt is not
going to become less in our world.

Liebe Gruesse,

Winfried
