One-Sidedness/Pristranskost

ONE-SIDEDNESS

I draw cats one by one. There are over two hundred of them. I devote a few seconds to each one, add stripes, a hat. A collar. A ball, a ball of wool, headphones. My real cat meows hungrily beside me. I'll wash the bowl right away. I'll just finish that. And one more.

I'm helping families one by one. Dozens of them. I spend a few hours with each one, talk to them, listen to them. Patience. Acceptance, interest, support. I look at my family with an evil eye. I will listen to your problems immediately. I just need to finish this paperwork. And one more.

I support my friends one by one. There are more than ten of them. I make time for at least a cup of coffee with each of them, tell them they deserve more, everything they want. They are worth it. Capable, beautiful and smart. I examine myself critically in the mirror. I will like myself immediately. I'll lose just one more pound. And one more.

PRISTRANSKOST

Rišem mačke eno za drugo. Čez dvesto jih je. Vsaki posvetim nekaj sekund, dodam proge, klobuk. Ovratnico. Žogo, klopčič volne, slušalke. Moj pravi maček ob meni lačno zamijavka. Takoj bom oprala skledico. Samo še to dokončam. In še eno.

Pomagam družinam eno za drugo. Na desetine jih je. Vsaki posvetim nekaj ur, jim ponudim pogovor, prisluhnem. Potrpežljivost. Sprejemanje, zanimanje, podporo. Svojo družino zlovoljno pogledam. Takoj bom prisluhnila vašim težavam. Samo še to dokumentacijo dokončam. In še eno.

Podpiram prijateljice eno za drugo. Več kot deset jih je. Vsaki posvetim vsaj eno kavo, jim povem, da si zaslužijo več, vse, kar si želijo. So vredne.  Sposobne, lepe in pametne. Sebe v ogledalu kritično pregledam. Takoj se bom imela rada. Samo še eno kilo shujšam. In še eno.
