Paradise is people. Provided that we accept decay and human imperfection. Provided that we give up the fantasy of a Paradise that is given, that requires no effort, that has no personal responsibility.

Because then Paradise is fragile and others risk becoming Hell. There is no individual Paradise. The desire for connection, the powerful moment of confronting the truth of the other. The longing to create the unique meeting place between us.

Those things that will be revealed within love: both the dark and the bright pieces. The unique feeling of completeness when we manage to understand one another, to experience empathy, to share experiences, to inspire and to accept inspiration... And everything begins anew, again and again!

The precious moment of disagreement, when Paradise is solidified as our endurance is tested and a broader perspective on life's horizon is required. Paradise is people and interpersonal relationships.
