A clam.
Hard to open the shell;
Yet inside hides a pearl.
Connecting to another person on more than an "I'll-awkwardly-say-hi-to-you-and-then-quickly-slump-away" level can be tricky. It's a shame we can't all carry around witty videos of ourselves to serve as sort of a 'quickly get to know you' personal business card. "Hi! Look at me! I'm fun! KaPOW!"
A friend of mine recently told me about a play in which the basic premise revolves around three central characters who have wound up in hell resembling a vacant room with no exit. Each character has committed their own unique sin to arrive at this final destination. Locked in a room with no hope for escape and an inability to sleep or even blink, "they cause extreme torture to each other as they continually tempt and deny the character flaws that led them to this final destination."
Is it possible for anyone to connect or are certain personalities predestined to clash and fail? Give me your business card and let's give this a whirl.
