This is a really interesting topic Jim. I really try not to be envious of people and sometimes I recognise that I'm thinking I wish I could go there or I wish I could that. Mainly things that are more difficult when you have children, like travelling for example. But what I've conditioned myself to doing is think I may not be able to do it now but in the future I will. That takes the envy away because it becomes a possibility of something I will do and then I just embrace and share in what someone has done, rather than wishing I could do it! I like your theory of love will overcome envy, I believe love overcomes many feelings and actions, and makes us better people...I so want my children, family and friends to succeed and couldn't ever imagine being envious of them, and like you say its because I love them so much!
I think that once in a relationship honesty is vital along with the ability to trust that person completely! When you first get with someone or are interested in someone you often hear what you want to hear, or like you say think well I can be the person they never had, or I can make them like kids, want to be with me forever, because they like me...in reality they like you but often not your baggage! So as much as you think you can make them think different and they would like to think they will fit the mould, it's not going to happen. If a guy says he wants a fling he normally wants just that, if a girl says she wants marriage and kids you can pretty much guarantee she is being honest . So find someone on the same page and don't think you can sculpt then to your way of thinking because someone will always end up hurt and the relationship destined to be doomed!
My arrival to CS has felt all consuming and I needed to take responsibility for this. I can't say it took over my life as I allowed it to happen....you don't know how deep the hole is until you enter...
Wise words are spoken here...I've enjoyed the experience but allowed it to consume me or for me to consume it... I'm feeling refreshed with a clearer head
Absolutely Molly. There is good and bad in everything and it's whether that element is tapped into. I always have veered towards light over darkness and good over bad etc. But life is full of it all.
Oh yeah I hear you there, of course there are good and bad/evil but the devil seems an extremity that's all. But then heaven would seem a place too good to be true, so maybe like you say it's a thought process.
I've read it Fly. I don't like devil stuff either but I guess some would say how can you believe in heaven and not hell? Maybe I just don't want to believe in it!
Molly yeah I realise that, that's the same with anything in life, even serious crimes the majority are blamed on mental health issues to excuse the fact. Everytime another sick film comes out I worry thinking that some mad person somewhere is going to copy it...I can't even watch them let alone imagine doing anything that some of these films portray. I'll stick to Tinkerbell and fairy god mothers and pretend that these things don't exist
It's a sick world, if people seriously do or believe in these things then what hope is there I prefer not to read such things as promotes the darkness.
I've spent my life taking things to heart so I won't change now lol! Well I like the nativity at Christmas so that's a small relief I'm a fake northerner because I was born in London so I guess I make the fake history books
Desperately trying to play catch up here...I've read a few David Ickes books. Not sure that this world is all it's cracked up to be if nothing is real. Is there anything in history Map that is real? How about the birth of Jesus or the extinction of dinosaurs?
That's really interesting fly. I love anything to do with all that.
I have a fairy garden Molly. My daughter made it, it has a little door and a wishing well, mini bench etc. Also always done the tooth fairy with them. Got to believe in magic and another world
Oh it's just to do with territory. Both me and Scotty were born in London.he supports Millwall and our family has always supported Tottenham. To be honest Pat I have no idea about football, and couldn't care less who wins or not, unless it's one of my sons matches lol. Just like to make a joke with Scotty as I know he loves his team, but he won on the comments stakes me thinks

I'm quite artistic, I'll decorate the swords once fluffed
