RE: mutual understanding in relationship

I think this argument is more 'idealistic', than it is 'realistic'. That's simply because this implies only opposites should attract, but makes no room for attracting someone similar. By this I mean that not everyone looks for a partner who has a quiet nature to contrast their own; some may prefer a partner who's outspoken to complement them so that may mean both persons prefer to thrash things out, instead of being silent during an argument.

Well, well, well...they found him (lol)

RE: mutual understanding in relationship

Definitely a worthwhile concept, DL.
However, the problem isn't that the arguing parties aren't aware of how effective the tool of "silence" could be; it's their agreement over WHO should be silent.

I don't think 'Ketchup' man might be interested...lol

My sentiments as well.

I don't think 'Ketchup' man might be interested...lol

I guess not...

A Story about finding Happiness

I'm glad that you, Jenny and a few others still appreciate such content. Thank you for saying so, CW. As for your comment on social media influence upon 'left-brainers', I've also noticed that about people but I'm not sure that the internet is solely to be blamed. However, the Bible does warn us that "...because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold."

Lawlessness of all sorts have definitely increased greatly, over time.

RE: lol

Another good one, Track.

A Story about finding Happiness

CW, thanks for your input. That comment about "feeding the left side of the brain" is very interesting. I did some quick research info on 'right-brainers' and got this bit:

"Right-brainers can be disorganised, unpredictable and more often than not, very good with people. They are spontaneous, creative and more emotional than left-brainers, often pondering and acting on their feelings."

A Story about finding Happiness

Why should there be "cons", and why should you "wait to read" them? I know that you can think for yourself, so.....?

A Story about finding Happiness

Helping others brings us happiness for three reasons:

Diversion: When you worry less about your own needs–in this case, finding your own balloon–the stress of that hunt decreases. Taking your focus away from the fact that you can’t find your own balloon lets you divert your attention away from your own problem. The feeling of compassion replaces the feeling of need.

Perspective: Having concern for other people helps us remember that we are all facing similar problems in life–no matter what the individual severity of the issue is. Sometimes when we are focused on our own issues, they get put into perspective when we encounter the true suffering of others (for example, bereavement or a severe disability). It’s easy to then realize the excess amount of attention we’ve been giving our own problems. Having compassion helps us put our problems into perspective.

Connection: Connecting with others by helping them can bring happiness into your life. Humans are social beings that need to have positive connections with other people in order to be happy. Connecting with other people enriches our lives and gives us a sense of fulfillment.

Thanks Jenny. I hope that it inspires or reminds others, as it did me.

RE: Ladies, feel free to vent about a lot of us guys

I don't really have any complaints...afterall, I don't know any of you 'well-enough', and I would only tell a person (in private), if I did.

RE: Added murals to my profile.

They look lovely, Orzzz. Perhaps I could do something like that in my new (future) home. Fingers & toes crossed

RE: My Valentine

Glad you like it, CW. Yes, I did.

RE: My Valentine

To show some LOVE

It’s February 14th, again.
The day is filled with news of doom,
Of stormy shores, of wars, of pain,
Of many sorrows. So much gloom.

It’s Valentine’s day, again…
But where is the love?
What could roses and chocolates do
To mend the river between us two?
To end the wars and mend the world?

And yet, each year it comes again.
Urging, reminding us, that we should show
Our cherished friends, family, lovers and such
That, though they aren’t perfect, we love them so much.
Regardless of the state of the world…and of us, for that matter.
Would you be my Valentine, though I’m not perfect either?

RE: My Valentine

Now this is an awesome poem. A bit sad, but true. CW

RE: My Valentine

Nice poem.

RE: A new ocean is being formed in Africa.

This reminds me of what happened with my island long ago (according to scientists). It is said that we were once attached to Venezuela (at sea level), but that the shifting of the plates caused a separation. Hopefully, life there would not be too negatively affected.

RE: Making something new

Sounds tasty, but was that all, or did you have it with a side? (E.g. pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, bread, etc).

Karma or Kismet? (again)

Do kids today have piggybanks still? It was a treasured thing to get one as a gift, when I was growing up, but that was so long ago....

Bread & Cheese

Well, all right now, Jenny. You're fortunate in that regard, but due to past experiences with mixing, I prefer to separate them. I like my whites to look as pristine as they could, but perhaps I need to invest in a better detergent?

A woman after my own heart...

Karma or Kismet? (again)

Wow Jenny, that IS good news. That means she has access to all of it. I hope that she still has that giving/compassionate spirit and uses some of that money to bless the life of a few others.

Huh?

Have you ever dated…

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing, Chat.

A funny epidemic that could end all wars... if only.

If only...

Have you ever dated…

Thanks for your input, SM. It's much appreciated, and I agree with your perspective.
