Day after day, year after year, it has been one let down after another. No matter how hard any of us has ever tried to please those around us, we failed. Even when we thought we were doing well, for once, still it was disappointing. Hence, disconnection -- or as I frequently say, "think like a duck, act like a duck and eventually, all things will affect you like a duck and just roll off". You can't be hurt if you don't let it penetrate. Unfortunately, the good often gets tossed with the bad. No matter how badly I want it, need it, crave it, wish for, pray for, beg for it, that force field comes up.

That may not compare, but it is how it sounded here.

No need for any kind forgiveness to be given, you can jump in anytime
I understand that force field very well. It is very hard to fight against our defenses when they were needed so badly to protect us when we were younger, but as we are much older now and trying so hard to find other ways to protect ourselves from hurtful things, those darn defenses are more a nuisance than a help. They keep out not only the bad but the good also and we sure could use some good in our lives.
