I was just curious because I was reading something with a basic argument that I would reduce to "One cannot love an object without the object being an Other. If the space between the object's Otherness and the Self is negated, one merely 'consumes' " What do you think of this argument? Is 'otherness' required for true Eros?

This is not a valid critique

Have you ever read a book that actually made you afraid? Chilled your bones and made you shiver and sweat all over and gave you goosebumps? I feel the written word is very rarely if at all actually able to instill fear. One of the only times I've felt dread when reading was the inferno, specially the passage in the final circle where Ugolino is eating the back of Ruggieri's head like a dog using its strong teeth to gnaw a bone
