I don't know what it's about... but I saved it to "Fav's"

I've always respected your insight.

Perhaps not... I see your point.

But just as a hypothetical... a game?
Are you saying that you've never lied?
That under no circumstances, you'll ever lie in the future?
That you understand life so completely that you aren't lying to yourself even now?
I doubt it.
Philosophical BS, perhaps... but this is human nature.

Learn to trust the core-being of your partner... not the words coming outta their mouth.
Find a common moral code that you both believe in... and leave it at that.
We'll all break it... but it's the ones that can return to it taht you can count on.
Undefined; a moral-code is like paper in the wind... a cork in the ocean.
So demand it.
jmho.

Haha... all spelling aside and any other foibles,are inconsequental to me.

No, you've not offended.
I love a good intellect and a willingness to bare one's soul. A certain boldness to state your mind, can be a good thing... although, I think freedom of speech is sometimes abused, haha.

Anyway, honesty is one of the dearest and respected things to me. I could not tell you how much so.

I've also seen in my life that how we say things... "how we say what we say"; has a significant place too.

Truth is golden... hit a fella in the head with a pound of gold, and you'll likely kill 'im, see?
That's not what I want... I suspect that it's not what you want either?

I'd encourage us both to learn how to tell the truth... w/o the pain. (As much as possible.)

Mmm, that sounds truly hard and a difficult situation for anyone to have to live through.
I didn't mean to suggest that living with a liar was worth a partner for rocking causualy on a porch.
I meant that realizing humans are fallible and lying was one of our most common faults... perhaps there should be some allowance in ourselves to expect the common, but set our limitations too?

Someone once said... "See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little."

Just as an aside... I spent 17yrs in a field that required me to sort through people's past. Lies were part of it and to be expected... it's what humans do.
But my goal was never to point out the lies, or the lying... but to find a place of understanding that the interviewee, me(myself), and the Gov't could come to terms with.
imho... nobody can be trusted. That includes you.
17yrs experience, tells me this.
The gov't knows it too... see?

I intuit that you're smarter than our Gov't...
Find a point that you can concede to.
You ain't perfect, He ain't perfect.
Discuss the rest. If he doesn't want to "discuss"... run away.

BUT... buy me a coffee and spend an hour with me...and I'll tell about all the places where you... or anyone else... hasn't put themselves into check... by their own standards, not mine.

I enjoy your writing... and hope that I haven't offended.
A friend encouraged me to be "gentle" more.

I'll work on that.

Looking forward to seeing more.

I like this.

Do you see the difference between your dreams/expectaions and her realness?

Dream all you want... but she ain't the one for you.
And you already know that.

Lovely.

Awesome... full of emotion and indecision.
(not loving that you blamed the taxi driver... but understand the interuptions of life as they come.)
Nicely played and interwoven.

HaHa,
They really need to put the popcorn-eating emoticon-dude in the standard list...

Diversify yer expectaions.
Right or wrong is relative outside of a Divine Being...
No Divinity... it's an open road, yes?

So roll with what you know.
And expect the same from other like-minded individuals.
Just quit expecting them to agree with ya'... (just a suggestion.)

Well, said...
I kinda' follow Budo.
Those of us caught in-between.

Fighting to find those who would listen... without causing damage.
Quite the conundrum.

The poet's life inspires me... mainly because I stink at writing.
I "do", or try to do, what I can't put into words.

Thank you for sharing your writings.

Aye, guilty, me! haha.
Digging deep into someone that I'd like to know better distracted me.

Where in the world did that euphemism come from!?
I love it!!

(Sorry, I get distracted easily... but really want to know.)

hahahaha... gl.

Nice.

I'm trying to reconfigure "lost dreams" into something other than a nightmare.

New dreams have to have some value too, no?
All those parched lands... aren't void of life.

We must work with what we have... and give thanks.
I've lost plenty... still, I choose to focus on what might be.
Put a shoulder to the task and struggle on.

I hate it this way... but I love it this way too.
Lose a dream... dream up another dream.

Aye, this... what's it matter what two other people do?

Elope tends to imply that they're running, yes?
Let's let them run... find out for themselves if they were running away from something or to something.

As for me... I just don't have the time to hear everyone's "story".
But but for me to assume one thing over the other seems wrong.
So, I'm comfortable believing that they'll be okay in the end.


Mind yer own business and live yer own life... let others do the same.

On another level... very interest topic, "running...".
Should we laugh... or offer a cuppa water?

Very bold.
Awesome write.

Wishing you all the best!

I like... Welcome to Mingle, btw.

You seem to be in the process of finding some new freedoms and liberties through thought and expression.

Awesome!!
I intend to watch you grow and reveal the things that you discover.

Many dance through life and enjoy the many pleasure of that; and I wish you the best.

I hope that not too many get hurt or get their toes stepped on while you dance freely.
I'm sure that you'll be respectful of others misplaced expectations... so rock on.

(I can't help but think of a childhood friend once telling me... "If you don't like the way that I drive... stay off the sidewalk.")

Aspects!

It's not logical to compare generalities to specifics.
Humans share many similarities in general.
Individuals are unique.

I'm unique because I'm different... just like you.

Agreed.
But it still takes two to Tango...
