I believe you have found the key....... but in our society today, it is sadly very much lacking. We can see it in the attitudes of so many people around us and if we look critically at ourselves, we might find it has even crept into our own personalities.
As for relationships, I have been pretty blessed. But I have heard it said that it is better be alone and wish you were with somebody than to be in a relationship and wish you were alone.


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

I write stuff all the time.. and wonder if i create it , or plagiarized it.. I honestly don't know.....So i decides to look this one up and see if i did.. I'll get to it in a second..
So nothing is really created from nothing. but all the time we create from something we already know.. It's been seeded.. but our creation is the plant that grows from it.

So here it is..as it applies to your blog....

It takes two to make an enemy.. but it only takes one to make a friend..

This is an interesting discussion. I am not into social media per se, but I do find it hard to really know who a person really is until you spend face time with them. Electronic chats provide some insight, but discovering the character of a person requires a more personal touch.

In a crowd good looking women are jealous of other good looking women.
In talking with them they always try to point out something unattractive about the other.

Most guys are afraid to approach the very attractive ladies for fear of rejection.

Women like outlaws. LOL

A guy can walk up to the most attractive lady in the building----Tell her she is the belle of the ball & the most attractive lady in the building---Then he has a friend for life. LOL

But it must be true & I know from experience. LOL
Party On!

The key word is RESPECT.

It's a two edged word, isn't it?

    Quoting  :

I remember when you did post your picture, and you are lovely. Some women, and men too, find that intimidating. Not me..... I know I am "old, fat, and ugly" and I admire people that are beautiful, on the inside and the outside, but I don't find them intimidating.

I don't fear rejection....In fact I probably fear acceptance more..
I'm familiar with rejection...But if she ever accepted me...

What the heck would I do then?

Believe me it's not as easy as you would think....

There's a big difference in assuming you're not worthy..
Than then Proving it!.. LOL
I'm certainly not going to let one of them.. "break me"....

I keep all my eggs in one basket...
They may be hard boiled and may crack...
But they will not break..

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her, then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks her meals on time
She'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you..
***************

Okay... first thing is ugly is just NOT beautiful.. it's not really ugly. more like "Coyote Ugly"
Second.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....Except when it looking at itself..

The key is to find someone.. who doesn't know they are beautiful.. who no one else MAY think is beautiful.......... except You
And to seal the deal.... YOU make her feel beautiful.

Then say .. Goodbye loneliness .. I guarantee you won't be fired.. but you be "sacked"!......Hello Honeymoon!

I have the idea that although we may seem different... We all have the same traits and characteristic that present themselves in different ways..It goes the same for men, women, and man and woman..
I have lived my life, and have evolved to that idea..My gosh... I don't know if I'm right or not..
Anyway to the point...
For me... Love always seemed to start out as a fantasy...Chosen points of light in a sky of characteristics...that we choose to light up our fantasy..I always seem to discover that my chosen points are really no brighter than any other stars in the sky..Some points..that I once choose have now faded into darkness..
i have fooled myself that I can define it.. I use to try so hard, now it seems I don't try at all.......And honestly, I can say, I don't know what's worse..
If I no longer want someone to be in my fantasy...How can I accept myself being someone else's?
In my old age...I begin to see that life is a No Win situation, when you try to Make things happen.....But there is a light.....When I accept and allow things to happen..
Trying to make things happen...I have gotten in my own way .....So much........It's amazing, I have been able to come this far..
And the irony, even with all this thought of allowing and accepting...Has anything really changed...and have i just found a new way .. to "get in" my own way.
Ah yes.... to live with that "uncertainty".. Is both the adventure and the meaning..
It's sad... when I realize the "adventure" is going to be over too soon..And the only certainty is my destination..

Although not the topic of this blog..... I wonder why some women seem to be so hard on other women. We don't seem to see the same degree of animosity when it comes to how men view other men.

Yes it is about respect..but first you have to respect yourself..

Are you certain that's the case?
Of course.. society and evolution has created different characteristics...That Men or women choose to dislike... but the degree of animosity.. may not be much different.. Except men are far less reinforced
We talk about the grass is always greener.. and I talk about ..if you can appreciate what you have .. You'll never appreciate what you want..
Well, we each have our fantasies.. they may be different but fantasies all the same.
The fantasies of wealth, love, beauty, power, control, and attraction.. manifested in jealousy which has no gender, except when it's about gender..

We dislike people who are different...simply for difference sake..

Combine the two,, and animosity become a norm.. again genderless..

I would guess your friends are more "like" you.... than are your enemies..

which brings me.. to the meaning of equality and the perception..How each one of us gets to choose..
My new favorite line..
It takes two choices to make an enemy, but only takes one choice to make a friend.
If you think it only takes one person choice to make an enemy.. And You can do it too....then the enemy you are making is yourself..And the person you don't respect is yourself..
