today is Thanksgiving. good thought behind the one we celebrate i guess. i think it is good to be thankful. when you are truely grateful for what you have, and respect it. you seldom find a need to ask for much more. i think that is a good thought.
recently i have looked over some of peoples journals. people talk alot about love and people of the opposite sex. with much conviction but not much insight. its pretty sad really. people post over and over about longing and how they are tortured by their inability to find the "ONE." these things stir several emotions in me. i feel bad that the media has convinced them so much of the concept of "falling in love" but they seem not to see that these same people who fall so deeply in love seem to fall very quickly back out of it.the see this falling in love as something that is unavoidable like puberty or death. now to my recolection i have never seen someone fall into a hole and then fall back out of it. if anything you could only fall back down. the only way to get out of the love if you truely fell into it: would be to crawl out of it. to think of this concept is actually humorous. so if you want to fall into a hole of love. you must dig...
and if anyone has ever dug a hole. digging is work. relationships are work. it isnt always fun but it IS in fact still love. with a commitment of marriage people tend to give up when the feeling goes away. if your whole relationship is based on a feeling then you are basically trying to walk on rice paper. something very thin and flimsy.
the right relationship does not happen on these terms a girl is sitting in a resturant sees a cute guy and is so far taken from him that she could not breathe. the man sees her and expresses unending adoration to her and promises to always feel the same way about her forever and ever. if you always felt the same way your life would suck.
...great relations. should be fantastic friends and spiritual counterparts. (equal yoke) i do believe in love and i believe that you can love some one for your whole life. but i cannot pretend to believe that the feeling (tigely weak knees)will always be there. even one who loves their job will have ups and downs. but that is what makes you stronger. if you never had any problems you would be soo weak. and you cannot promise to always feel the smae you might as well promise to never get sick.
maybe the reason the man or woman of your dreams hasnt come to you yet is that there are far more important things in the world to be doing. your first purpose in life is not to be married and start families.but to worship and serve God. work on not being needy but being pleased with who God made you. this is a good thing. being single isnt bad. really.
these are things that i have observed and read and tried to put into words. i dont know if anyone will read them. but if you do tell me what you thought. dont worry about space in your reply take up alot of room it will be fun... think.
also tell me what you think of me. i am curious as to how people see me. if you know me well or even if you dont if you think i talk too much tell me. if you think i am retarted tell me but be detailed and stuff dont just say "your dumb" tell me why. i want to know what people think. not because i am worried about public image i just want to know if there is anything i need to work on.
have a wonderful night.
