Telephone.
deleted name: No. No that’s not… Let me put it this way,
the words coming from him so obliquely as to suggest he has been drinking.
deleted name: A child…
pause, and then having gathered his thoughts
deleted name: A child desires boundaries, a finite limit to their life that they can understand. And the reason a child pushes and pushes against these boundaries, in whatever way, is simply to determine exactly where they lie, and then having so done, can feel secure. It’s only by attaining this knowledge of these limits to their existence that they can finally feel safe.
Telephone.
deleted name: No, no, I disagree. I don’t think, it’s not that they crave attention, or can’t help themselves, or that they’re rebelling to establish some sense of independence or whatever, they simply want to know the limits of their existence. They want to understand their landscape in terms of finite boundaries.
Telephone.
deleted name: Do you know
clears throat
deleted name: Have you ever seen a film called eh, “THX-1138”? It was, you know the “Star Wars” guy, George Lucas? This was his first film, a sort of… dystopian… thing, and in it there’s a famous prison scene where instead of an enclosed space, the prison is an infinite white expanse, and and and, the idea behind this is, of course, where do you run to when there’s nowhere to run from?
Telephone.
deleted name: No no no, absolutely not, absolutely not - what I want you to do is simply remind her of those very finite limits within which she is being allowed to exist.
