The new bottom line Robert...you don't want to be with a woman who does not appreciate you for being you. If you are constantly trying to bend over backwards to please her.....
First, that would be impossible. Second, you would turn into a doormat for her. Third, she will be gone from you as soon as she can when somebody is offering her better.
Actually Robert, I was listening to it while I was practicing some pool, the music isn't half bad....don't get me wrong, the beach scenes were fantastic also. I remembered your beach story...figured I would share that with you to bring back some memories with the beer drinker you brought on that date.
Hello Cat. It is nice to see you back and with a good, well-thought, blog.
I heard/read a story where professionals whose job it was to get people to comply were taught that there were primarily 4 main human motivators. Of course, one of those is money. So when reading your story, I was thinking of money as a motivator as well. I guess I see you addressed the part of ambition...where motivation and ambition could be directly linked. You say ambition got us out of the caves...and ambition only....but without some sort of personal gain (financial wealth) being used as a motivator, would we be out of the caves today? I would say yes, but to what extent?
Just so you know, I do agree with the message of your blog, about the system needing to be looked at.
But, how do people get rich? I think once we understand how one gets wealthy, you might begin to see how it is that the system might not be designed to be equal for all.
I also agree, wealth does not necessarily translate to happiness. Your last statement about 'you cannot be happy while there is still something that you crave for' is something for me to think about.
As a side note (question), it might tie into happiness as well...is everyone entitled to love?
So healthy people get paid less? That is somewhat interesting if that is the case. One would suspect maybe the other way around...based on productivity supposedly hire for healthier people. Maybe at worse, equal pay.
I have that on the news right now. I wasn't sure if you were in the area...I hope all is safe around you. Hopefully this is not the beginning of something worse. I am not sure how earthquakes work...never had to deal with them.
Actually Robert...I am just being a bit over dramatic.
Let's put it this way, I am not sure she had the ability to take it down...and I know I didn't take it down....so...
It was really an innocent playful shot of her, cleverly done with the angle and the beautiful eyes. I am not sure why anyone would take that down. Basically Robert, it was art.
Speechless
Robert, a trip to Vegas would not be a bad thing for both of us.
