3.1. I am Not a Social Worker to Care About Your Problems
There are so many fairy stories — you know them — where the hero in a hopeless situation makes a deal with a sinister creature and obtains what is needed — and it is needed — to go on with the journey. Later, when the princess is won , the dragon defeated, the treasure stored, the castle decorated, out comes the sinister creature and makes off with the new baby, or turns it into a cat, or — like the thirteenth fairy nobody invited to the party — offers a poisonous gift that kills happiness.
The misshapen murderous creature with supernatural strength needs to be invited home — but on the right terms.
Remember the princess who kisses the frog — and yippee, there’s a prince? Well, it is necessary to embrace the slimy loathsome thing usually found in the well or in the pond, eating slugs. But making the ugly hurt part human again is not an exercise for the well-meaning social workers in us.
This is the most dangerous work you can do. It is like bomb disposal but you are the bomb. That’s the problem — the awful thing is you. It may be split off and living malevolently at the bottom of the garden, but it is sharing your blood and eating your food. Mess this up, and you will go down with the creature 8.
