Dear Lorraine

I thought I might intersperse a thought about the two correspondents in your blog and link them to another item on your pages.

Andy and Sarah need to think about life.

They have one each and only one.

They cannot return in 20 years and try what they are not trying now.

Those 20 years of further denial will never come back. They may
stretch to 30, 40 or whatever: a lifetime.

They need to think very hard about whom they might hurt if they thought of themselves for once.

Maybe there would be no hurt.

No one will think for them but we can urge them to think.

Now what has this to do with Edward and Lee, the two main characters in Secretary?

It is a very thought provoking movie and I can imagine many people being uncomfortable with it. But they are the sort of people who would be uncomfortable with the LE web site and that says it all, because the LE web site is charming and beautifully done.

The movie, Secretary, was also beautifully done in parts and it addressed a difficult subject in a way that forced the audience to think and take on board the various layers.

Andy and Sarah need to watch this movie. They do not need to watch it as a lesson, but because once or twice, they will recognise themselves.

I am not saying Andy and Sarah are into S&M, any more than I am, or the circle of LE devotees are.

But we understand compulsion.

We probably understand denial.

Hopefully we all enjoy acceptance and best of all enjoyment.

If Andy and Sarah can't get to watch the movie, either together or one their own, I will lend them it. The movie will not solve their life problem, but it might trigger them into thinking.

Robin
