Glass and Ice
How come no matter how you turn a glass the ice always stays in the same place?
———- from Hoy Hong of Birmingham, MI
Ice knows exactly what it wants out of life. A glass, on the other hand, is a people pleaser – a wimp. Ice also has a terrible fear of abandonment and that’s why the last ice cube always sticks to the bottom of the glass. Glass has a much longer life than ice, for sure, but is ultimately more fragile. This paradox can be explained by the fact that glass has the courage to really live, where ice is preoccupied with self-centered fear. The prison ice builds for itself is the frozen analog of neurosis. As far as I know, incidentally, there are no icy psychiatrists, just aloof ones.
