As the child moves towards maturity, he learns how to manage his fears by being accompanied with his favorite stuffed toy: his cuddly toy.
He holds it as close as possible, and whenever fear, minor apprehension or brutal fright, appears in him, the teddy bear, the doll, the comfort blanket, will know how to « absorb » this fear, take it out of his body.
The Cuddly Toy of Futile
I notice that for many adults, the cuddly toy has become the insignificant, vain and superficial part of everyday life.
When the slightest stress, the slightest surge of inner tension shows up, they must stroke the fluff of futility.
Quick ! A discussion on so-and-so !
Quick ! Some gossip !
Quick ! Let me mentally grab hold of something to do !
Quick ! An external thing to tidy or clean up !
Quick ! An empty comment on anything I see !
Quick !
Horizontal and flat !
On the back to avoid sinking in.

I confess I’m often off-centered these days…
Coffee might help, you’re right.
Have a very nice day, Simon.
