Somebody else always seems to hold the vision here. In youth it is a teacher, a movement or a lover who appears to know what life is for, and the native attaches with an intensity that surprises them later. The attachment ends the same way each time: the figure is found to be ordinary, or worse, and the native withdraws feeling both foolish and cheated. A cycle of devotion and exposure runs through such a life, and the figures change while the sequence does not.
Turn the axis round and the native is the one being believed in. People project rescue onto them, ask for more than they said they could give, and are disappointed on schedule. Business partnerships under this opposition are prone to vagueness about who promised what, and the vagueness is mutual. Where money is involved it is wise for such a native to have everything written and witnessed, not because anyone intends dishonesty, but because the two parties genuinely remember the conversation differently.
Holding both means keeping the capacity for belief while accepting that its object will always be partly imagined. Natives who manage it become good judges of causes, able to support something wholeheartedly and still read the accounts. They are also unusually useful to people leaving cults, bad marriages and failed faiths, having made the same error with dignity several times. The unresolved version alternates between credulity and a hard, disappointed cynicism, neither of which is the native's actual view.
