Hi Molly. I like his directness and he willingness to face things head on and just getting on with it in light of all that is thrown at him the USA is booming!! He was democratically elected by USA citizens as their President and I respect their vote! Recently in the opinion pole he scored 45% overall and 90% satisfaction among the Republicans. I would really like to be looking back from 5 years hence and hope it is through Rose Tented Glasses and not through humble pie!!!!
Not meditation. However, some years ago I read an article on "Filling the Gaps" it basically stated that when you don't know the truth of a situation you fill the gaps with negativity. An example given was of a waitress that brought soup to the table and banged it down in front of the male host spilling it on the table, then she goes back to the kitchen in a huff. The host is very annoyed as he takes it personally and feels she done it deliberately and he feels insulted in front of his guests. Moments later the waitress emerged with clean linen and fresh soup. She explained that the bowl had burned her hand and it then slipped. She couldn't have been more apologetic. The host was very happy as were the guests with the outcome, he had clarity... The moral of the story is .... without clarity, stop filling gaps with negative content or do not fill the gaps at all. I have found that technique to be very good.
I find that Donald Trump is marmite! I believe that he has been a breath of fresh air on the political scene and has shook things up a lot!! His communications skills leave a lot to be desired but one has to respect his business acumen until they achieve better themselves!!
As for Princess Syndrome, a child of the "keeping up with the Jones's" era. Brought up on material love, never experienced proper love, no time for it... So the consequences!
Maybe like all the Irish History taught in the classroom it was according to who was teaching it! The Brehon laws were very comprehensive and there was harsh fines for anybody not adhering to them, so women were never looked on as being unequal!
I am very happy to relate that I do not inhabit the world you paint! Maybe it is fierce civilized or out of date or maybe it is a generational thing but I give and accept respect from other females of all generations. No handbag spats to mention!
There was many women including Gormlaith, Aoife Mc Murrough Queen Maeve and Máel Muire Ingen Amlaíb, also about 50 Female Saints. These Saints set up schools and enterprises! Women worked side by side with the men as one for over 2,000 yrs!
I totally agree with you on that one. A mother should be the primary homemaker and the father the primary breadwinner. The two new cars, the big house, the Facebook holidays can wait a few yrs. The child, who is so very precious, is treated as a commodity in so many cases! That’s the reality and that is why society is in crisis and everything should be made possible for the mother to be rearing the children!
There is a very fine line between confidence and arrogance! Uniqueness is part of being confident in yourself but believing everyone else, man and woman, are unique and special too! You do not have to prove a thing to another, just prove it to yourself! Humility means you think less of yourself than another and as a consequence not equal. Love is what crosses all barriers and dismantles all bridges!
I respect what you are saying Robbie! I put the question just in relation to disrespecting female! It is a known fact, that the reason that nothing ever gets done regarding abusive relationships is because someone says “but men/women are abused too” then all things been equal nothing ever gets done.. they are two different issues and should be addressed as two different issues..
Yes! I expect everyone needs boundaries! Laissez-faire Parenting does not work.. But I think children that have felt loved (real love) as opposed to material love whilst been raised do pass it on....
There is a lot of Narcissists and Psychopaths out there whose only role in different forms of relationships is to control in whatever means possible. I think these men and women are disrespectful in all their interactions with others. It just might not appear on the radar for some time. I think “normal people” respect each other as a given! As you know the same mother can rear a “good son” and a “bad son”.

RE: Does the end justify the means
Yes, if the end goal is well-meaning, any mean to achieve that end is acceptableon condition that both ends and means are honourable and virtuous.
