Chemistry

How do we know whether the red you see is the red I see? How do you know that what I call “warm” is what you experience as warm?
I suppose we cannot ever tell what each other feels, or how does it feel to have a million lens like flies since we won’t ever have the physique is one.
Perhaps, the problem on the human level can be easily speed through music and still art.

Excerpt from Boiling a Frog by Christopher...
Sarah was a resourceful and some might say formidable woman - but he didn’t want her to have to.
And he had made promises. Obligations. If he wanted to marry her, then that meant he had to want to always be there for her. Doing something that could get himself killed or imprisoned would suggest otherwise. But that wasn’t it either.
