Balance in relationships

A person who shares your views is a myth or a fairy-tale character. I have never met one, although I did not look for such a thing, did not want it. Even families, marriage... he/she, it seems to me, does not share your actions, values and judgments, rather they allow the possibility of their coexistence in you, next to themselves.. ☺️ yours, so to speak. Well, he/she thinks so, wants it or does not want it. Some kind of indulgence, but not complicity. But is it necessary? Will “one” not be enough for two? Everyone has their own interests, views and tastes... they feel good with them, and you feel good with the person. Perhaps this is balance.

I am mired in my indifference.
The look is dull, the heart is suspended.
Every sin was paid for not in cash,
And the soul that will then be weighed.

I became disgusted with myself from weakness,
No matter how much you boast about your strength in life
Your happiness is not in the number of joys
And not in the places where you hung out.

Happiness is in the power of being independent
Even though an avalanche of passions surrounds you
Even the devil himself circles enviously
And persistently incites

You are ready to be not like an animal,
What is thrown at every bone
This life is fleeting for you,
The body rots, but what remains?
