Acceptable Distance

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible to see each other whole against the sky.

- Rainer Maria

While I don't quite agree with this quotation in gist or overall word choice, some part of me likes the way it sounds. As well, alternative views are worth ponderation.
