Judy knows me on a personal level. I simply prefer to be grounded in reality as opposed to living in a fantasy world with my head in the clouds.

At the end of the day, romanticism doesn't pay the bills.




I love Keith. He knows that .. I'm totally tongue-in-cheek here ..

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

kinda :tongue: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

That is very true that romance doesn't pay the bills. The other side of that coin is...cold and calculated pragmatizm ain't gonna give you the bliss of love. For me...the trick is to find the happy medium between accepting reality and putting hope into the equation.

If that works for you, great. Just realize that others live their lives differently. It's not their issue if you don't like the way they live their life, just as it isn't your issue if I wouldn't want to live my life the way you do.

keith is my favourite type of person, and is one of my best online/real life friends.

for however often i disagree with him, and it's often, he always says exactly what is on his mind, and never fails to take a stand for what he believes in, even if he's in the minority and, for that, he has my admiration and my respect.

Tsk, tsk, Krupa! I thought you knew me better than that by now. When have I ever stated that I was looking for the "bliss of love"? :laughing:

A very true statement, and the feeling is entirely mutual, which is why I have nothing but the utmost respect for Lisa as well.

I agree. The only caveat is to not let what you believe in color your perception of what others think. No one has a monopoly on truth and right. We need to have room and respect for dissenting views.

Cynicism is a state of mind culled from plenty of experience, leading one to see the true nature of things. If seeing the realistic side of things makes it "negative", then so be it. At least one remains true to oneself instead of allowing fantasy to absorb them.


I believe in cynicism, and now consider it a sort of hobby.

In a way, I suppose I have a sort of admiration for people who can get stepped on, time after time, and maintain some sort of positivity. I think there's something to be said for someone who has so much control of their own thought processes that they can completely ignore reality.

But that ain't me....

Oh I couldn't agree with you more Lisa. I LOVE Keith. He has my respect and my laughter .. cuz he makes me laugh a LOT.

I just can't live life in Doomsville. I would go slit my wrists .. :tongue:

And he knows ME well enough to know I say it all in jest .. just as he posts so often the same.

I think a whole lot of us post the same way when it comes to standing up for what we believe in. For sure.
