Topic: Marriage Advice from 1886 | |
---|---|
Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger.- Learn the wisdom of
compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break. -Believe the best rather than the worst. - People have a way of living up or down to your opinion of them. -Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship. the person you choose to marry is deserving of the courtesies and kindnesses you bestow on your friends.- Please hand this down to your children and your children's children: The more things change the more they are the same.

Sometimes love is right in front of our eyes, but we don't see it.
Perhaps its our expectations that blind us, we know what we want, but its so hard to find in another individual. We may find some of those things in someone, or even ourselves but not all of them. A diamond has many facets, and like the Diamond so do people have many sides to them. It takes time to know someone, but this world is intent on one night relationships, and our own selfish reasons of how much we can take or get away with . We all collectively create our own circumstances. This why you hear, “Is there any good men or women left”? or something or other to that note. We all need to invest the time to get to know one another, take a chance, and give one another a chance. Take the chance your heart might be broken one more time. For only those willing to risk, will be able to find that what they seek. Love can only be given freely, and then freely accepted. It has taken me a life time to find myself , to finally know myself , and some of the things that I have found I didn’t like. I like that movie “ As good as it gets” there is a line that Jack Nickolson says, “ You make me want to be a better Man”. Sometimes the best in us, can bring out the best in others. I also found out that I wasn’t as bad a person as I had thought I was. We are all very judgmental of others, but even more self critical of ourselves. Quote “ Judge not lest ye be judged by the same measure” You all know the author. We all have many wonderful gifts, that we should be using for the betterment of man. We sometimes use these gifts for our own selfish reasons. Learn to over look the faults of others, and you will find LOVE. Learn to love unconditional as a child does. Learn to forgive unconditional as a child does. Be free and love as if your heart has never been broken like a child does. Quote “ come to me as children” You all know the author. There is a lot that we may learn from a child.---------Dcnbls I know very DEEP---- I have been labled that before, but I am a Deep Fish, and you Shallow Fish can’t catch me. Hey Backinthesaddle ---I liked what you posted, who is J.W .? |
