"It is a good thing for an uneducated man, to read books of quotations." Winston Churchill Now if we could just get our leaders, to read volumes on ethics, integrity - a few volumes of philosophy. Obviously they have learned little, from history.
Now that we are past 2005, I would say If you can't say something good, say nothing at all. Have a nice day... is not a cheery remark. It means you can't think of a good or kindly or encouraging thing to say. That phrase should be deleted from the jargon "pat" phrases.
Around and around life goes and where it ends, nobody knows. While I've been watching the thread I can relate, actual stories from friends, who no longer date.
Besides that sad affair I can tell, of a lot who are married and ended up in...._ell. They all chose people for "reasons" at the time...one old b/f married the secretary for his attorney, in his divorce, at the time. He's ended up in another fiasco, but she had land and a farm, so he's now the master.
To retire at night next to someone who's there, who never stops thinking and always cares. The view from the bridge isn't very pretty, of all those who remarried, not one was successful. Personally, I'll remain in a solitary state, and hope for a better fate. It's now 2006 creeping forward in years, as we go.
One thought though, many a holiday has been totally devastated or destroyed in my case, by the drinking of a husband, relative or friend. So liquor and cheer with friends, absolutely. But excuses to 'drink on'....hmn? I was brought up that Christmas was about the celebration of life, not the spending of your last dime. I think even children today can learn to realize this without it dampening the holiday.
Well I won't say bah humbug. But I do feel it. There is nothing better than the excuse of the holidays...for insisting on more get-togethers with friends (that's the positive part).
My feeling is that we should "dump" all this gift-buying - return to older values of either 'making' presents...or exchanging cookies and things that can be done - without all the pressure and expense. Those of you with children here obviously love them. That's the best present of all. Dispose of your guilt.
Think about this -- did you ever value a family member, or friend, more - because of their "expensive" gifts? Or do you value people because they are "there" for you, daily, weekly - always? That is how I find worth in life...it's friendships and being there. I have actually told people (and family members)..."if you are not there for me all the time - don't GIFT me with something expensive...thinking that makes up for it..." Harsh - but true.
Crass commercialism took over a long time ago. Children do better with 'less' and learning to entertain themselves. The pressure to spend is destructive - but also, meaningless. If we have each other - we have it all.
Oh dear. I've had my turn. My turn will come - as in? Interesting comment but it can be taken negatively - in other words...."someone will choose you when they've exhausted all other options..."
In this world of STD's and deeply disaffected people (many who would prove unstable in reality) who would want to be chosen, by someone who had...exhausted all other options? Women? Your answers??
Even I would admit to being picky...in that personal habits are pretty darned importante! Scrubbed...neat appearance. Good table manners (kinda hard to go out to dinner with your friends, introducing a new person....if they slurp their soup). Even I would admit to a head-turn towards a handsome man. But what does that matter months, years down the road if that guy/girl had not one interesting thing to say. Stopped learning in high school, has no hobbies -- and most of all, never ever - makes you laugh out loud!
Those things coupled with genuinely similar outlooks on life, philosophy, world affairs, finances and politics -- well? darned hard to figure out. But most should match-up well. That I am quite sure of at this moment in time. It's not having the 'bar' of expectations too high - it's learning the hard way that I had to raise the bar.
Look back through history, people categorically pick partners primarily by looks to start with...it's rudimentary. However, to choose a partner based on the 'superficial' implies that you've not looked into your own aging process and future life needs? I'd rather find a man with a great heart, sense of humor, and personality who drove a VW, than a rich guy with a Mercedes. Trouble is, I even find the Volkswagen types...want Paris Hilton, regardless. How about the men, showing photos of their recent choices? Then, let's evaluate reality. I am new to this forum...hope I'm not offending instantly.
