Topic: Guards...Stand Down! | |
---|---|
You've obviously been hurt, and very bad. I'm so sorry! It wasn't me. - “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” *Rumi*.....
Are your defenses up so high, or are you willing to try again with an open heart? |

They WERE very high.
Took a chance. Paid off :-) |

Nice!....benefits of an open heart...no matter HOW scary!
|

Always have and open heart but my guard is up slightly.......

The higher the defenses the better.

My walls aren't so high that they can’t be scaled but my heart is very well defended

I was pretty well guarded till she said she had a dream about her and me together. Its hard for me to guard against dreams because I always am curious how the dream ends.

Damn. The dream catcher let me down. Maybe, I need to get a back up.

I used to be fully armored....worked too good and no one could touch me and it really slowed me down.
I am much happier being spiritually butt naked. Just flop your stuff out there and hope for the best cause Obviously, being well guarded and defensive works but, it will NEVER make you HAPPY. It an only limit how miserable you are. |

My defenses were breached years ago. I have never bothered to rebuild them. But I do have a rather large animal watching over the hole for me.

|
I try to have my heart open... but its not easy... I TRY... but i find it so hard to trust people...
|

|
|
The walls were high but started crumbling, I have an open heart
|
|
|
|
I have an open heart and a realistic brain.

I guess it depends where you find your happiness. I am happy and still very guarded. I have the love of friends and family which make me very happy. |

Well for me the cold war has ended but we have much more sophisticated tech. ready to take out specific targets if need be.....like real life......but you can't sit around with nukes aimed at the whole world forever...you never get anywhere that way. If everyone is sitting around waiting to turn the second key to blow up the world, it makes it very hard to relax and enjoy the world...it's much easier to know that you can just precision take out those people who become problems as necessary....... |

Are we still talking about the same thing? I am talking about guarding my heart so it doesn't get torn out and stomped on by yet another jerk. My love for my friends, and family is unconditional. |
