  1. Avec l’autre

    Il arrive un moment où l’autre n’est plus interchangeable. Il ne fait plus partie d’un ensemble vague. Il prend une place précise, une place qui ne se remplit pas autrement.

    Quand l’autre commence à compter, la relation à déjà fait son travail. Le lien s’est tissé sans bruit par la répétition, par l’attente, par le temps partagé.

    Rien n’a changé extérieurement, mais tout a changé intérieurement. Ce n’est pas l’autre qui est devenu différent, c’est la relation qui a crée une singularité.

    Compter pour quelqu’un ne signifie pas être possédé, cela signifie être reconnu, exister pour l’autre au-delà de l’utilité ou de la fonction. Ce moment est beau, mais il reste fragile, car reconnaître l’importance de l’autre, c’est accepter de devenir vulnérable. Quand l’autre commence à compter, la relation change de nature, elle n’est plus un passage, elle devient un lieu où quelque chose engage, et c’est souvent là que l’attente porte enfin son fruit.

  2. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138
