The issue of intrusion has resonances for so much in life – phobia, rejection, desire. Intrusion is always brutal. There’s no such thing as a gentle intrusion.
“The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It’s getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That’s how we know we’re alive: we’re wrong.”
Philip Roth
