Comments. This may sound very simple, but perhaps at times you forget: people show their main characteristics very early in life. They make multitudinous minute decisions at a much earlier age than is believed, as their own natures seek expression, and as those natures interact with the mental, emotional, and physical environment of the times in which they were born.

They are afraid of vulnerability. They are between the comic book world and your own. They yearn for an authority they can trust. Ruburt’s books show that it is not all that easy, in their terms. They want to believe that he depends upon me to make all his decisions, and they do not want to hear about his independent thinking. They are between dependence and independence, at the level of which I am speaking.

Any improvements Ruburt shows are considered insignificant, unimportant—or worse, deceptive. They are not trusted. They become lost. It is not that they are considered unimportant so much as they are considered to be not trustworthy. You are so afraid to trust them, either of you. Not only are they not taken advantage of then, but when they do not continue this is taken as proof that they are deceptive.

Your ideas, individually and jointly, are innovative and daring. When Ruburt shows an improvement of any kind, you both become cringing. You take it for granted that the improvement will not last, and is deceptive. You remember the past history of improvements that vanished. You are not daring, you are not innovative, you are not creative—either of you (emphatically)—in that area.
