Do you believe that concept? That one must be in a state of personal fullfillment before it can be assumed we could ever contribute to anybody elses happiness?
Personally, I find it an empty and ill conceived concept...deeply burdensome and ultimately, restrictive.
That's not to say I totally dismiss the principle of personal responsibility in these matters, but hell, I'm hoping to end up with my very delightful BETTER HALF!
So yes, I want to be more agreeable to her...to be relatively 'sorted'...to be reaching out for personal peace.
But, and this is where the problem arises for me, I know I'm only going to attain a certain fullfilling level of happiness and contentment with my soulmate!
Even though having increasingly Christian sensibilities, I can totally see where you're coming from Ray.
I'm no nihilist or pessimist, but I have a healthily philosophical attitude to life where possible and try not to allow unreal expectations get the better of me so as to leave my conciousness floating in the clouds.
How dare you insult my esteemd brothers...HOW DARE YOU!
Men certainly don't do themselves any favours it has to be said...I would imagine it's seen as something of a success when you get an e-mail consisting of proper sentence structure, decent grammar and fair content!
...do you think so many take this forum business so seriously?
I mean, we saw several pretty vicious threads last night...lots of nasty comments besides also.
Is it really worth all of the emotional expenditure...and to portray ourselves as so petulant and petty!
Also, just an observation here...but why is it mainly women who get involved in all this stuff?
I mean, if we have a beef with somebody, it strikes me as obvious to sort it out via private e-mail...or just drop it completely. Why construe ill intent when often we just don't truly know the people we're interacting with unless we really take the time to get to know them?
Interested in your thoughts you fascinating bunch!

...that's me in real life!
Being happy before making anybody else happy.
Personally speaking, yes...it will always be limited while I'm 'Half a Person'.I was made to complemented Riya.
