Journal entry 8
In ancient Greek mythology,
you were supposed to die with your spouse. It feels like I did.
Clytemnestra didn’t kill
herself when her husband Tantalus died because she had plans of revenge for
those who killed him. I understand her feeling. It’s a natural
response to want to hurt those who have hurt you. It solves nothing, of
course, because then the family of the one you killed now wants to kill you,
and so the cycle of sorrow continues and grows stronger. But I still feel that
urge.
