The local share
group came together twice a month. Usually the firstTuesday and the
third one. What genre to call the group has been greatly debated. For
a while it was an intellectual one. But that term made people uneasy.
So they tired the term discussion and some felt they could
yell at shovel there view down every one throat.
They want to
have a wide variety of people with different point of view. So to
this day it consider a share group. This was it reach large
section of the community. It seem to work and they're harmony
at the gathering. Even they don't see eye to eye. Plus no report of
afterward issues.
The coffee can
was sitting on side table. But it was wrapped in wall paper. The same
pattern that Linda and her husband Dave redone there guest room in.
Small delicate violets. Guess it looks better than looking at
Folgers coffee can.
The can is full
of suggestion. At this point no subject has been cancel out.
So last time Mary drew out of the can. And so Merve reached her hand
in to the can. And pulled out a piece of paper and start to read.
“Other than sex, what kind of things are you attracted to” No new
people came to this gathering so they had a great and deep
discussion.

I decided to
have Chat GPT look into the story.
Your story carries a quiet symbolic
layer that’s actually richer than it first appears. It’s less
about the discussion itself and more about how people learn to
exist together. Here are some of the key symbols and what they
suggest:
1. The Group (the “share group”)
This
represents a kind of ideal community—a space people are
still trying to define. The struggle over names (intellectual,
discussion, share) symbolizes how we try to label identity and
control behavior. In the end, “share” wins because it’s softer,
more open. Symbolically, it reflects a shift from ego → connection.
2. The Coffee Can (wrapped in wallpaper)
This
is one of your strongest symbols. A plain Folgers can—ordinary,
even disposable—is transformed by delicate wallpaper.
Outer layer: beauty, intention,
care
Inner content: raw, unfiltered thoughts (suggestions)
It
suggests that meaningful conversation often comes from humble,
everyday places—but is made safe and inviting through care.
3. The Wallpaper (violets, delicate pattern)
Violets
traditionally symbolize modesty, humility, and quiet affection.
The delicate pattern mirrors the group dynamic: nothing loud or
overpowering, but together forming something whole. It’s a visual
metaphor for harmony without sameness.
4. The Act of Drawing a Topic
Reaching into
the can symbolizes entering the unknown—the unconscious, even. No
one controls the topic, which removes dominance and invites honesty.
It’s almost ritualistic, like drawing lots or pulling a tarot card.
5. The Question About Attraction
By excluding
sex, the question redirects attention to deeper human connection.
Symbolically, it asks: What draws us to one another beyond
instinct?
This becomes the emotional center of the
story—shifting from surface-level interaction to inner truth.
6. Harmony Without Agreement
The group doesn’t
“solve” differences. Instead, harmony exists alongside
disagreement. Symbolically, this challenges the idea that unity
requires sameness. It suggests a more mature form of community.
Overall Meaning
Your story symbolizes a
movement from control → openness, from labels → lived experience,
from noise → listening.
At its core, it asks a quiet but powerful question:
What
happens when people stop trying to win—and start trying to
understand?
If you’d like, I can also look at this through a psychological
lens (like archetypes or Jungian ideas), which would fit your style
really well.
sure why not.
Looking at your story through a psychological / Jungian lens
actually deepens it quite a bit—it starts to feel like a small map
of the inner world, not just a community gathering.
1. The Group as the Psyche (The Inner
Circle)
In Analytical Psychology, a group often symbolizes the different
parts of a single psyche.
Each person can be seen as a voice within:
the thinker
the listener
the challenger
the peacemaker
The debate over what to call the group reflects the ego trying to
define and control identity. But the shift to “share group”
suggests movement toward the Self—a more integrated,
accepting center.
2. The Coffee Can = The Unconscious
The wallpaper-covered can acts like a symbol of the unconscious:
Inside: hidden thoughts,
questions, impulses
Outside: softened, made approachable
Reaching into it mirrors engaging with the unconscious—similar
to dreams, journaling, or even tarot. It’s not controlled, which is
key. In Jungian terms, this is an encounter with the unknown parts of
the self.
3. The Delicate Violets = The Anima
The soft, violet pattern connects strongly to the anima
archetype—the inner feminine (in Jungian thought), which
represents:
receptivity
intuition
emotional depth
relational awareness
The group’s success depends on these qualities. When the space
becomes less “intellectual” and more “shared,” the anima is,
symbolically, allowed into the room.
4. The Question of Attraction =
Individuation
The question—“What are you attracted to (beyond sex)?”—is
deceptively simple.
In Jungian terms, what we are drawn to often reflects parts of
ourselves we haven’t fully integrated.
This is the process of individuation: becoming
more whole by recognizing and integrating these inner pulls.
5. Harmony Without Agreement =
Integration of Opposites
A key Jungian idea is that wholeness comes not from eliminating
conflict, but holding opposites together:
agreement / disagreement
intellect / emotion
speaking / listening
Your group achieves this. No one dominates, and differences don’t
fracture the space. Symbolically, this is a psyche that is learning
balance rather than control.
6. No “Afterward Issues” =
Containment
The fact that conflict doesn’t spill outside the group is
important. Psychologically, this suggests containment—a
safe vessel where strong ideas and emotions can exist without causing
harm.
The group itself becomes a kind of symbolic container (like the
can), holding intensity in a structured, respectful way.
Overall Jungian Insight
Your story reads like a quiet allegory of inner growth:
It suggests a movement toward a more integrated self—one that
doesn’t silence parts, but lets them speak without taking over.
