Dear Ravi:

Just lost a message I typed to you… Before you post the message to Jerry, there is more to explore which is relevant to the message. So some patience, I believe, will be beneficial.

Jerry treated you as special, the special that you need, but that wasn’t enough because your need to be special is very deep, predates you meeting Jerry.

Musafa’s death scene- the look on Simba’s face when he saw his father dead. He started running away from the dead body, as if he could run away from reality, from the knowing that his father was dead. And then he stopped running, realizing- I think- he has nowhere to run. So he walked back to the body and placed himself under the dead arm of Musafa. Remember that?

That pain on Simba’s face awakened the pain in me, and it awakened a pain in you, and this is why we both cried watching the scene, isn’t it so?

Simba felt very special because Musafa treated him as special. And then Simba lost his specialness, he was all alone- no one to run to (so he turned around and back to dead Musafa).

I think the reason Simba’s pain touched you is that you lost your specialness to- not by a death in your family, like it happened for Simba, but because you experienced…

Well, you tell me, take it from here, please…?
