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.
You admire honesty → perhaps you’re developing your own truth
You’re drawn to curiosity → a part of you seeks growth
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:
The can = unconscious
The group = inner voices
The question = invitation to self-discovery
The harmony = emerging wholeness
It suggests a movement toward a more integrated self—one that doesn’t silence parts, but lets them speak without taking over.
