I agree with you and Stressless, Dana.

I'd just add that I don't personally need to find someone beautiful or even terribly good-looking to feel attraction for them, if there's a strong personality/soul connection.

However, if that special someone is beautiful, who am I to object to what the gods have ordained?

School shooting tragedies are the price you pay for a society that allows widespread holding of arms. I want to make a point to show that this is not true. At one time, in our Country, almost every single citizen owned a gun and knew how to use it. There definitely was widespread holding of arms. What has changed? What has made people irresponsible gun owners? We must put the blame where it is due. Not on the widespread ownership of guns, but on what has made people the way they are today. The TV plays a major role in developing the minds, personalities and belief systems of people. There are many violent episodes on the TV. How do the people handle their disagreements durring these episodes? If you don't like someone, or what they did to you, you BLOW THEM AWAY!!! Our children are being trained and programmed through what is broadcast on the TV and the movies they rent. So are we, if we watch the violent programming! Also, teachers are no longer allowed to discipline children in the schools. When I went to school, if you showed disrespect to classmates or teachers, you went to the office and got your rear paddled HARD! There is no discipline allowed at school or at home. It is time to quit placing blame on the guns and blame ourselves, who allow legislation to be made, disallowing discipline. We have done this to ourselves!!! Fear the children... you have made them into MONSTERS!!!

I think when we look back on our past relationships we focus on the last encounter, the breaking up or moving on due to what ever reason.

Unless your married for life, all relationships will have an end point, some amicable and some not.

I think the key is not to get hung up on the negatives, but treat each relationship as a learning experience, focus on the things that worked, and have no regrets.
