The pain and anguish we
feel every day, the suffering
of being separated from God that has so
numbed our souls, the despair and
fear that drives us to live as we do, was
felt for the very first time by Jesus on the cross when sin came upon Him.
A fantasy bond allows us to
feel secure and connected to someone else, while
numbing us against some
of the more painful emotions that love stirs up, such as existential anxieties,
fears of loss, memories
of hurt, longing, or rejection.
