Christmas time is a season for family and family is historical. My aunt was explaining the sensitivity of my cousin - how as a child she had complained about her mattress until the bed was upended and some scrunches in an old mattress protector were found. 'She's always been like that - she's the Princess and the pea,' said my Aunt.
I liked that expression. Someone says about Narcissus - 'he is the scorcher and him who is scorched.'. Kierkegaard says 'the self is a relation that relates itself to itself'. It would help in a lot of problems to realize were the Princess and the pea, that which hates to yield and yet does, and that which doesn't care and is unyielding.
