“Self-sufficiency is the enemy of intimacy.” I heard this in church on Sunday. It sounded like a statement worth meditating over, so I did. Even though I did not quite grasp the idea of the statement, I was eager to connect the two and understand what the pastor was saying.
If I deceive myself by thinking I am a person who makes my way when I leave no room for intimacy I rob myself of sharing with another my way in life which should be very important. As Frank Sinatra sang, ” I did it my way “, without the overflowing pride of life. I think I would be mistaken to think it was all me. If it was I should not be surprised if ” me ” is alone. Intimacy cannot exist with just ” me “. I have to ask myself if I am being self-sufficient in intimacy or selfish. I see now the pastor’s point in this. It takes 2 to tango in a self-sufficient life it’s called intimacy.
It Could Happen !
