What's your Philosophy ( Archived) (155)

Or maybe even the other way around!

I have another salutary lesson as well, from the Russians.

"Never spit in the well, as you never know when YOU may have to drink from it".So true.

No Robbie, I wrote it the way I meant it. I know who my enemies are....it's my friends that I fear.

More times than not it was my so-called friend that turned on me. The one I trusted.

laugh and make other people laugh

That makes sense then!

I've had experience of that too! I think everyone has to some extent, but it's a matter of what they did and how seriously it affected you.

Myself i give people enough rope to hang them selves and see if they do before i trust them!

Online people do this all the time, so be wary of anyone being pushy for information.There was one bunny boiler in here very recently....thankfully she's now been deleted.

I like it snuggs i think you turned it around but I like yours better(think it was sun tzu who got it wrong )

REMEMBER NOT ALL ONLINE PEOPLE ARE NICE AND NORMAL!


That one should be reminded to people as soon as they open their internet browser!

It's very sad Rodolph to go through life and not be able to trust anyone.

I expect hurt to come from lovers because being in love with a man or woman is risky....from my experience.

However, I get along better with men when it comes to general conversation.

When a woman has a girlfriend, she tells all her secrets, and is there for the friend whenever that friend needs her.

I had a girlfriend back in 1973 who I was a loyal friend to. Her name was Linda. She didn't have a car so I took us everywhere when we went out on weekend nights. We talked about everything. Our friendship went on for years. We worked together. Then one day out of nowhere, she stopped talking to me. The real shock was when she chose someone else to be her maid of honor for her second marriage. She never even told me she was dating someone. For years after that, I wouldn't even think of having a girlfriend.

Then I met Nancy at work in 2006. We were friends to and talked about our secrets. And once again, out of nowhere, she stopped talking to me and actually ignored me which was difficult because we worked together. To this day I don't know what happend, however, she left the firm so I don't see her everyday.

About 6 months ago, we got a new secretary, Rachel, who sat in the same cubicle Nancy was in. She told me things about her life that shocked me. I was surprised because we didn't know each other long. She needed someone to talk to and I was there to listen. And guess what she did. She also just stopped talking to me. I was always there for her when she needed to talk. She still works here.

I don't know why people, men and women alike, think they can use me. I must have a sign on my forehead...Use Me, I'm Lonely.

So I have decided not to even think about close friendships with anyone. That is my philosophy.

- under everyone's "hard shell" is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved;
- sometimes all a person need is a hand to hold and a heart to understand;
- being kind is more important than being right;
and the greatest one - love not time heals all wounds.

A friend of man, a friend of truth, a friend of age, a guide of youth, if there's another world I'll live in bliss, if there is none I made the best of this.

No use slamming the brakes on once you've gone over the edge....
