contradictions

".....If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with.....only the boring are bored, isn't that quite the truth? dont be with people for settling reasons, be with someone because you can't picture living life without them!"
 
 
I saw this in someone's profile today. 
 
How very sad!  It's nothing but a string of common quotes.  While each holds truth in it, this person is so shallow she couldn't see the innate contradiction in the first and the last quote....a closer read of the profiile makes it clear she was just another shallow girl in need of attention to build her shallow self-esteem.

Conditions and the lack of them

The greatest love is unconditional, as it must be.  It requires self-less sacrifice and unflinching devotion, patience, and hope.
 
However, relationships are exactly the opposite.  They must have boundaries. The relationships we have, even those driven by deep and unconditional love, must always be conditional....for if there are not lines and loyalties and MUST-DO's, then we cheapen what love is, tempt our friends/spouses to disrespect us, and our meaningful relationships become corrupted.
 
If love is an action, which means it is reflected in what we do, and unconditional love allows for no limiits to the evil we allow in relationships, then we have a contradiction ---- how can unconditional and great love be (exist) when the actions shown in a relationships reflect a continous state of "no love" or worse, disrespect and loathing even?

sell at the trumpets

"Buy on the sound of the cannon. Sell on the sound of the trumpets."
                 - Mayer Rothschild, the famed 19th-century English financier, unproven
                 - Larry Kudlow, contemporary TV commentator and economist

 

In investments and in life, people often behave irrationally and emotionally, following what appears to be "common sense".

It is the wise man who demonstrates "real sense" by excercising the mind God gave us, which is the only thing that seperates us from the animals with the exception of our soul which lives eternally and has a moral conscious naturally. 

A thoughtful man would realize that it is often when things seem the worse, when everyone is reacting with fear and the world is in chaos, that the greatest opportunities exist to invest (time, money, patience) in something (a stock, a person who needs someone to believe in them, a relationship) for a greater long term return than the sunny day friends and investors who chase the latest fad or the "beautiful people" with their shallow soul-less existence.

Let it be.

 ...............Does everything have to have a reason?

 ............... ...............Will I find answers to my questions?

 ............... ............... ...............Will this end with a succinct conclusion?  

 

The shifting in my heart, and the restless troublesome thoughts, are most uncomfortable lately…Maybe I need to deal with this alone....Perhaps I just have to listen to what a close friend said....just "Let it be."

it's all quite sad really

i'm learning to use music and video to relax more
it's all kind of sad.
.....everyday I learn more to enjoy food, the moments, to chose that over working too much, and now to use music/video to lift my sprits.
and of coarse, to use excercise to give me the lift some use drugs/drink for, while others just suffer thru the bad times.
it's sad, because everyday i am becoming more like her, my ex
and she is becoming more like me (with responsibilities, thinking more and feeling less, seeing how each broken relationship breaks us irreparably, the value work and planning....because of the reality of the life she chose (for she is now alone)
how stupid some of us are sometimes
 
and how stupid those dumb ones make those that trust them look
 
it's really sad.....
 
how we could not have managed to learn from each other and thus come together more and stay together.....how she couldn't manage to tell me how it would be just one more time and see how things could have been.....did she ever really tell me how bad it was?  not really....amazing

The Crazy One

One out of every four people in this world is mentally unstable. Think of your three best friends. If they seem normal, you're the one.
