Wondering what counts as the beginning? The very first letter? Now and then I get letters that start with a looooooooooong list of incurable diseases, and I must say that it’s not relevant for me. Given the distance and the mean of communication, one could expect a contact that can establish and then maintain an interesting conversation, not an inventory of one’s health.
I take for given that men in my age group are not completely healthy, 50 isn’t 20 whatever way you turn it. But the way they carry their situation matters for me.
I don’t know. But I see the point: one who regards his life as successful, one who’s confident and has no hidden agenda wouldn’t have many reasons for lying. So even a fact of a lie tells its story as well.
There’s a lot of different reasons why people lie. Out of fun, or for show, or for protection, or of pity, or of politeness… Google “Why people lie” and you’ll get an answer or two.
From my experience, the more one insists on truth, the more often he or she will be lied to.
Why people think that their lies won’t be seen through… that’s another matter – perhaps, they think that they are cleverer than everyone else.
But I think, a lie tells its story about a person as well as truth does.
A woman on the way home late at night through Golden Gate Park in San-Francisco, when she hears that someone following her.
She walks faster, then runs. Here pursuer starts to run too. She screams: “I have no money!”, throws at him her purse, then coat. But her pursuer persists.
(She wanted to hide behind a thick tree, but it already has other occupants),
But nonetheless, they end up running around a thick tree and the woman screams again, out of breath: “I have no money!”
The pursuer, out of breath him too, mumbles: “I’ll do it for free, ma’am! For free!”
By the way, it’s not possible to strip a person naked after his hands are handcuffed – some shirt or jacket would remain. So your story isn’t true, is it?
Yes, but I would say that find the will and try to solve a problem is more difficult, than simply blame the other part for everything that went wrong. Often enough one has to look in a mirror in order to find the main problem, and that what people are reluctant to do.
Nagging certainly is a very unpleasant aspect, but I think the underlying factor for nagging is inability (unwillingness?) to find a way to communicate with each other. And failure of communication leads to failure of a relationship. Though bad economy and cheating have their say in killing a marriage as well.
Once I’ve received a message so hurtful that it made me cry. Well… since that I grew thicker shell, and now I divide all letters on pleasant or irrelevant.
Some time ago, my friend advised me to consider everything I’ve got on internet as a compliment. And with that means AVERYTHING. I think that it’s a wise approach.
Depends on the situation and my mood: sometimes I feel like 25 and sometimes like 100. But for the most I feel around 40. Must be some delay in development.
