I now know why "breakups" or "cool-offs" are difficult. It's the fact that you wouldn't know how bad or worse things could get in the near future. It’s like Schrodinger’s cat; in the experiment, where a cat is put in a box along with a flask containing poison and a radioactive source, is placed in a sealed box. If an internal Geiger counter detects radiation, the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. Now, you’re going to have to open the box to find out if the cat is dead or alive. You would have to live with the assumption that the cat is still alive or dead. In that sense, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when we look in the box, we see the cat is alive or dead, not both alive and dead. At least that’s according to Copenhegen interpretation.
Looking into the “alive or dead” part of the experiment in relation to my current situation, I will never be sure that she will still have the same feelings that I have for her in the long run of this situation. And she too should be thinking the same of me, at least that’s how I see it. But I will never change my mind about her.
Now, going to the “dead and alive” bit of the example given, I have no clue what so ever to what that means. All I can say is that I interpret that in our current situation to be pushing forward, living on without meaning, without enough reason to breathe. Like a real walking dead.
I wouldn’t have known about Schrodinger’s cat if it wasn’t for her. She was the one who showed me the book, or at least a few pages of it. I guess all I can do is wait it off. She’s running this experiment and I just have to wait till’ she’s ready. Opening the box in time is up to us and hopefully the cat is still alive. I’ll be waiting.
