temptation


Perhaps a slightly odd blog post, and one that Kubrick captured far better in "Eyes Wide Shut"..

Sometimes, not often, but very very occasionally, I meet new people. Every once in a while, I meet someone who, I think that perhaps maybe I could really get on with. Someone who, maybe if I had met in different circumstances, in a different life, I could be happy with. Sometimes though, this is impossible.

Being married with children, I have made my choices. Everybody makes choices. I am not one for jettisoning the life I have built to follow an opportunity. Not to say that there even is an opportunity, or even a hint of one. But yesterday I met somebody, and I felt that maybe there could be a spark. Maybe if we had lived nearer, been single, not met through work, maybe it could have been something. Maybe not. It's pointless to think of such things, really. Pointless to consider a life that would never be.
