The hedgehog's dilemma

Hey! my name is Jus, this is my first post here and I would like to introduce myself with a writing that I did a while ago.
It is based on a parable, which bears the same name as the title of this post, written by Arthur Schopenhauer in 1851. In turn, the drawing is based on the animated series Neon Genesis Evangelion, which also mentions the parable.

As my mother tongue is Spanish, in the image it is in Spanish, but here is the translation:
"We are different but equal ...
We suffer great pain
we are confused and alone
when we get closer, we get hurt
like the hedgehog's dilemma.
We don't know how to deal with the other.
It hurts to be alone
it hurts to be together.
But ... should we try?
Try to touch us, love us ...
We are monsters devouring happiness.
We eat each other's happiness completely.
And we both stayed dry ...
empty ...
without soul.
Look at me and look at you.
I love you and I hate you.
I forget you and I miss you.
We always in the most infinite indecision ... "
