Another kind of love affairs…
It’s amazing when something u’ve been practicing/feeling for the whole of ur life gets manifested in a very simple form, very few, definitive words. like, I’m obsessed with Symmetry.
Simple and plain, yet, it took me more than 20 years, and flights back and forth to as far as Tokyo, to discover it, in an empty train from Chofu-station to Tobitakyu-station.
I’m obsessed with symmetry, lines, things… it makes me happy to see parallel lines of anything… parallel lines of hand holders in a train… or just a symmetric line of trees.
When I read a web page, a consensual reflex is to double click the word exactly in the middle of the line am reading… so that it gets highlighted.
When I read a book, half an eye is always looking for the word that makes a perfect symmetry in the line…
It was as if i had just re-discovered fire.. as silly and unimportant it may seem… it was one of the few discoveries about myself lately that didn’t depress me, but rather cheered me up.

Yazen, I am kind of the same way. at one point of my life I thought I had OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), but I guess it was not that bad. Anyway, I guess loving symmetry is from loving perfection.
Nice blog, keep up the good work

I think Symmetry is a great thing…
it indicates Perfection.
what is more beautiful than a symmetric body, shape, drawing,…anything…
