"MUNCH BUT..... NOT MORE THAN MUCH"



Greeting all the bloggers, I wish each and everyone a pleasant day, as I used to do before. I was away from blogging for quite a considerable time, due to a personal genuine reason,.... which availed to be fruitless.
Given that, my absence may have been unnoticed due to its little importance, however, after a thorough cogitation, I've decided to resume blogging, even though it may not be gleeful but at least for my own little pleasure.

My today's concept is about "MUCH NOT.... MORE THAN MUCH".
It's a factual experience which I'd like to initiate herein. To please is to make someone or others, happy, satisfied or delighted. To please, one can do lots of things, in many ways, be it Fairly, Adequate or Much, by stating, by expressing and by deeds, by amity/esteem, by like or by love. BUT none can please or satisfy another totally, completely, absolutely, perfectly beyond any doubt or miss. Though one may try all his/her best wholeheartedly, but yet, unable to attain that extent. Facts are: It will never be regarded as entirely and indisputably, unequivocal or unchallenged. It will always be insufficient, incomplete, in other word NOT ENOUGH!!. Not Enough is an extensive degree of requirement, of desire and of expectation. Not Enough means insufficient, the desires are more than Adequate and even beyond Much, which may lead to More than Much. Effectively More than Much becomes subsequently a predilection, a keen proclivity, or a propensity. Given that, all possible or extreme good actions or deeds done ... they seem to be taken for granted and looked upon as a must to a highest degree. It's a sort of tenacious intentness, regardless from whom to whom , despite circumstances, nature, personality and ... anything else. The other tends to be still unsatisfied even tough. If it's irreversible, then, doing "Much or More than Much", becomes an unavailing effort, call it worthless.

I assume some may have experienced these, others perhaps not or ... not yet. But once it occurs, the endurance is upsetting and distressful, the feelings are hurt, dismayed,, the mind is exhausted. When Much or More than Much have been effectuated but unappreciated, it's really appalling., woeful and unfortunate. I have brooded about it and I came to realize whatever extreme one may do to please another, it may be futile and pathetic. Moreover when perceived, it eventually and forcibly persuades one to alter life promptly, appropriately and not to sob on something ineffective and unchangeable. Hence, changing the course of one's life and attitude seems as an option. Ruminate on and mull over the topic for a wider understanding. This is a fact which I wanted to share with you. In such a case, what else should one do!??. THE BROKEN ROPE WAS A SIGN AND SHOWED WHAT IT MEANT!!
You views and opinion are welcome. Thanks for reading me.
Lisa.

I came to realize, understand and perceive, the outcome of giving out "MUCH AND.... MORE THAN MUCH" from oneself to another. A lesson to learn and to retain.

SouthwestGal, hi,

How glad I am, reading from you on the above blog of mine!!. Thank you for your nice words and for reading me here and very many thanks for your visit and for your nice comments which I do appreciate.
Dear, after one has lots of times forgiven and let pass, How about after finding out the other's concealment while that same one keeps on reproaching and accusing?. One should walk in the same shoes to feel how they hurt and to feel also the reality. Thanks again dear SouthwestGal. Always a pleasure reading from you.
Have a wonderful day.
Lisa.

Mamannie dear Lady, hi.

It's my pleasure to see you after such a time. My absence was a given proof which seemed not duly appreciated. So, the deception made me to come back and to continue my usual life. Thanks for your kind visit and your nice word Mamannie. I wish you a fine day, with my kind regards.
Lisa.

Some people are missed from the blogs because they are a bright spot, you are one such person. Others are not missed at all because they add nothing but strife and their being gone only brings relief.
I found it a little hard to follow your blog, but I presume it is about relationships. Whether it is a romantic relationship or a friendship one, it takes TWO to make it work effectively. There cannot be one giving everything or much..... it is not even a 50/50 situation. Both must give 100% into the relationship for it to be a good one.
Oh, I know many settle for there being a giver and a taker, but that is not at ideal situation.
I have a little motto that has seen me through good and bad times..... because it isn't about others, my life is about me and how I handle things. My motto is "If it is to be, it is up to me." That helps me to not be too disappointed in the actions of others.
Oh, and something a pastor once said has stuck with me for years. "Our attitude determines our altitude."
Glad to see you back.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

MrsJoe, hi,

You're warmly welcome to my blog as usual. thank you for your visit, your kind words and comments. You are so correct in your statement MrsJoe. Sometimes when one has a problem or is distressed by something and has no one to talk to about it, the blog is a sort of relief, even if it's not joyful but at least having even one or more to read it and to encourage by their opinion and comments, it's a relief too. That's how I feel now as that attitude had hurt me so much that I've decided otherwise. That's why I've mentioned in my above blog, giving too much of one's kindness, sentiment, devotion and care , to a friend or to a beloved one, turns out to be hurtful. distressing and futile at times, that's the reason for which I needed to write this blog for this reason. Thank you again MrsJoe for reading here. I am so grateful.
With my kindest regards, God Bless you and your family.
Lisa,

Earthy dear, hi,

Am very pleased reading from you again, after my considerable break. you are always welcome and thank you so much for your visit and your understandable comments. You are so correct ET, I wanted to post such a blog to first relief myself from what I have been keeping so long. And all my above explanation turns around that case and the feelings I got as well. I wanted to make it clear of what can happen in such a case. Specially when one does Much and even More than Much for someone and in return you find that it seems to be futile but it was necessary for me to specify that concept.. It is as a something which was unexpected too. However, life goes on ET. Thanks again for your passing by and I wish all would understand my above quote. Have a nice day ET.
Lisa.

Boogie dear, hello,

How great reading you now on my above blog, Am so delighted for your visit and your meaningful comments for which I thank you so much. I really felt missing all of you on here but I had a voluntary break for a good reason which I hoped would be appreciated but alas!! Never mind and that's is eventually a proof and a part of this blog too. That's why I also posted my concept on the meaning and results on/of Much and More than Much. As I said far above, it was a must for me to deliver this concept as a relief for me too. Thank you Boogie for your compliments. I think I'll resume blogging as to spend my free time as before and it will continue to be a pleasure for me too. I have really tried my best Boogie but it came to be an unavailing effort. Never mind though, as I said to myself, life goes on. Thanks again dear Boogie, hope reading from you again in the future. My kind regards to you and to all of yours. God bless.
Lisa.

Hi Lisa!
Expecting too much from others can cause disappointment, disenchantment. I think we should put everything that is on our part to please others, but without that means a greater effort and without expecting anything more in return. As one of the quotes say, do not expect too much from others because you may get disappointed and hurt.



Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

Lucy hello dear Lady,

What a great pleasure reading from you again on my blog, I hope you are keeping well as well as all your family. Thank you so much for your visit and you meaningful comments Lucy, which I surely appreciate. You are right about the my above posted quotes Lucy. i have carefully selected them relating to the topic of my blog, because they mean so much in reference. Putting aside the flaws, any misdeed or mistake, one should compare them and balance the good deeds, the sentiment and the Much, one has offered and done for the other but if the person still feels it isn't enough/much, then what else can one do? If it's not to change the attitude and course of life? However it is, life goes on, and maybe the recipient can find other one(s) who would do and offer him/her MORE THAN MUCH, to be satisfied completely. Thanks again my dear Lucy.
Lisa.
