Hi Kittyjoy - "..a companion for a time and a season right there where we are in our present condition..."
I've actually been thinking that we focus far too much on the future of our relationships, and don't give enough attention to the now. I've also considered the possibilty of accepting no relationship to be permanent, and it's foolish to do so.
Non - You struck me as a person who is quite introspective and somewhat of a hummanist, and I guess I just assumed because of that you would be more open minded and accepting as you grew more aware with age.
"One can never control of how the other perceives one.{"
Perceptions are very much linked to the individual's own life experience, I think. And as every person has a unique personal history, there are going to be a huge variations in how different people see you.
Personally, I could care less on how others perceive me - how people KNOW me is an entirely different bucket of jelly babies.
I have the internet speed of a slow loris at the moment (so slow I couldn't load your link) and haven't been able to use youtube. Youtube is my TV for doco's and things of interest and I kinda liked havimng access to it.
Non - His life will never be the same as is often the case with whistle blowers. It's a big call knowing you are going to put your self and your family at risk. Gotta respect the man for making a stand, many wouldn't.
It kind of reminds me of religious indoctrination in some ways. For years you are led to believe something so as to be completely brainwashed, and when you do have a moment of clarity, the house of cards comes tumbling down.
Hi viking67 - I think it's quite OK to wear your pink tights under your trousers. For me, being an individual is least about parading in front of others and more about looking for a snug fit - if you get my drift.
To coin a phrase from another poster: "What other people think of me is none of my business.
KNenagh - I'm always taken by your mature and balanced approach to things, I think you'd offer a man a very solid, reasonable and adult relationship. (not hitting on you)
After deciding to severe my ties at home and head off travelling, my life has known no certainty or had definite direction in a way that allows for possibilities. I much prefer living with a sem=nse of unknown, as apposed to forty years laid out before me on the treadmill.
Non - I have met many who have found a contentment in the spiritual, and those with equally satisfied yearnings through the physical. I guess it doesn't matter where you find it as long as it suits you..
I've always thought if I had kids I'd try and expose them to as many possible interests as possible, or at the very least, try and excite them about learning.
Hi ya Non - It's a difficult position to be in, I guess. Are you saying you don't know exactly what it is you want, or you do, but just haven't found the right methosd of incorporating it into your life?
How do we teach children how to identify their dream do you think?
ekself - It seems we are experiencing the same dilema. I've decided to return to my home country and do three months hard labor which should keep me going for another year, but the long term future is something I have to now start to think about.
KNenagh - Glad you threw off those shackles relatively early in life. perhaps the worst scenerio for someone is to not know they have a choice at all, and find a lifetime has gone by without the reward of doing what they really want, or knowing what they really want.
How does a person find what it is they want to do if they don't already know?

"There's no such thing as a bad man or bad woman because they've made a mistake."If you are going to make huge, broard sweeping statements such as the above, you are going to be challenged, darling.
I'll let you get on with your sociology lesson.
