BEING INTIMATE

When two people are in love, they require privacy to properly communicate. That's why we have honeymoons. Little real communication is possible in public, but volumes are spoken in moments and nuances where there is privacy. In the busyness of life, communication is impossible unless there is privacy.

One prying eye is all that is needed to spoil it. The minute we are conscious of an observer, our privacy for intimacy and intimate communication goes out the window and we become conscious of the observer rather than with whom we are talking.

You cannot communicate when there is an audience. Privacy is intimate communication...
