An interesting experience

Here's an example....

A person from a small community who has been looked down upon by the majority will develop a low self-esteem.

This same person can move to a new and large community where him or her being looked down upon no longer exists. However, this individual, because of "conditioning"...through time, will see where they no longer have to hang their heads down low.

Things take time....

but, from what I just recently heard...we need to make this time.

An interesting experience

....and no matter one's gender.


I think as long as there are stereotypes out there and discrimination, we will continue to have rebellion. However, actions speak louder than words. The stereotyped will need to see they are unconditionally accepted.

An interesting experience

Just a final thought that occurred to me. Somebody wrote a blog about respect recently. They stated that in order to receive respect, you have to give it.

Maybe, we should start respecting our fellow human...no matter what country they are from?

RE: Minerva's day

Happy B-day Min!

RE: so do we have a capable president? Or a lame one.

String,

I have not heard of neither of those. Maybe its something I should look into.

RE: so do we have a capable president? Or a lame one.

RE: Dating Sites For Those Behind Bars...

RE: When/How Do You Introduce Your BF/GF To Your Kids?

CH,

I hope everything works out well for you and your son. Only you know the situation the best and what you should do.

It sounds like your son and you BF have a great beginning in progress. Now, you need to decide what you want.

RE: When/How Do You Introduce Your BF/GF To Your Kids?

Nothing formal CH. Just told my parents she is coming and that was that. No big deal. lol

RE: When/How Do You Introduce Your BF/GF To Your Kids?

I cannot speak much about the introduction of a person to my kid(s)...I don't have any.

But, I think it shows something about your man....willing to spend an important holiday with you. That is a good sign in my book.

RE: When The Novelty Wears Off...

I hope so.....


Okay...time for me to decide what I want to do today.


Take care CH.....been fun with you. :)

RE: When The Novelty Wears Off...

Well, I am still here...just not on your blog.

RE: When The Novelty Wears Off...

You are a tough cookie CH. I will see what I can pull out of my hat. <----found this.

RE: When The Novelty Wears Off...

Okay CH....

RE: When The Novelty Wears Off...

To rely or depend on anything that is external for your happiness is a recipe for disaster. So, if the wind is blowing south today, you will be unhappy? Or, if it is blowing north, you are happy?

You should find grounded-ness internally. Everything external will eventually bore or disappoint you.

If you contribute to the surrounding environment, you can add to its positive or negative effects. Do not expect that environment to fulfill you.

But...

You can expect it to fulfill you....have fun with that.

RE: You Can't Hide Happiness...

Well....it might be too late for that CH. Actually, there were a couple of times that I thought of things in public and laughed. With technology, people will just think that I got some sort of wireless device I am talking on.

Any CH....it is movie time for me.

Just slapped in Forrest Gump.

Take care...enjoy yourself today.

RE: You Can't Hide Happiness...

Okay though Dr. CH....I will look out for way that make me unhappy, sad, and angry.

RE: You Can't Hide Happiness...

CH,

I was once told, I can be left on my own and I could find a way to entertain myself and be happy.

Now that I am left on my own, I am starting to see some truth to that statement.

RE: You Can't Hide Happiness...

Pepps...I wonder...it seems like CH might have left her blog to take a pooh?

RE: You Can't Hide Happiness...

Hello CH....

Nice to see you. :) ....a breath of some fresh air. I can feel your happiness through the blog....ahhhhhh....that fresh air is great for the lungs.


I am happy for my health.

Happy I can currently pay my bills.

Happy I have a big and close family.

Happy I can see (a lot of people overlook the things they take for granted).

Happy the sun comes up.

Happy to see you on at this time. :)

Happy that I am able to still take a poooh on my own.

lol

RE: the Nature of Human Beings......

Teen....some very deep stuff. In fact, I think I will need to read it a few times to take it all in and to fully understand it.

:)

RE: Less Attractive Couples In A Relationship...

.....yeah CH, you are not unreasonable.


and....


not sure where you going with that shorter in some ways comment.

RE: Less Attractive Couples In A Relationship...

Lucky for us, I am only 5' 11"

RE: Less Attractive Couples In A Relationship...

My ex-gf was about 5'3" and she never owned a pair of high heels.


embarrassed....

RE: Less Attractive Couples In A Relationship...

Well CH...if height is your issue...


What you lack in stature, you more than make up for with your personality. (just like the premise of your blog)

RE: We Are All Weak and Incomplete Without Each Other

Hey CH,

I mean strong in a sense that she can confidently express herself. She can openly communicate with her partner. She is strong enough to not put up with any BS....but handle those situations in a mature way.

I like a woman who can handle herself in public situations and around people. I wouldn't want a woman who has an inherent anger built up against a man or men....and she does not know how to differentiate that anger with any future man she may meet.

She would also need to be compassionate. There is a time to be strong and a time to be loving.....it does not need to be one way or the other...black or white....many shades of grey out there...(more than 50 too).


and


She must be strong enough to haul all the firewood to the house.

RE: We Are All Weak and Incomplete Without Each Other

CH,

You are a very wise woman....I guess as you say, that would be a bonus for your man.

I do agree with everything you have said.

but

I also agree with what others have said too....about each their own. People are going to have their beliefs about their place in the world and in relationships. It is up to the people getting into a relationship to better understand people in general and to understand what a potential partner is expecting.

When it comes to understanding what your partner wants....sometimes their actions speak louder than their words.

Me personally, I do not mind a strong woman in my life...as long as she is not irrational. I know...irrational to whose standards.


A great blog....who knows, it might make some reconsider their ways.

Man-ism

Hello CH,

Welcome back...again. lol


It is about a movement for men.

Man-ism

Molly,

It appears that I am a somewhat unique person who experienced some unusual things.


but....it could be....


Men are suppose to be strong and not express their feelings...


but....I could be wrong.


But some of these people (men) I have talked about....I really do not think they even realize it.


After all, how can they "cry" or complain about a woman mistreating them....they are men after all.
