Ladylid, where is YOUR mind today?

I believe we chase love because it is a basic instinctual need for self preservation, balance, and comfort. We are constantly indundated with how wonderful it is suppose to be so it only makes sense that we have and appetite. Most of us have some vague memory of at least something bordering on love to get us going.

Why do we stay when it won't work? Probably because either we don't know what love is suppose to feel like or the person we bump into doesn't.

We believe in perfect love because very powerful forces tell is to often from cradel to grave. Religious teachings are pretty much sold on it. As are major industries. When people we know are happy with the love they have they rarely tell you the "down" side.

I think you are probably right that many people think love is a joke. Sometimes you can get caught up in a belief if that is the crowd you hang out in.

Can you be truely be happy in love. For many years I really wondered about it. Then I found someone and yes I can truely say yes. Is it always easy if you do? No people are people and sometimes there is an off day. But it you love them and they love you it can be over looked and or gotten through.

Part of the reason most people get sick of who they love is they really didn't "like" them in the first place. Or they have a hard time letting that person change and grow to a new stage of who they are. If you get a very limited idea of what you think a person has potential to be then they will live down to that view. There are infinite variables with in any one person if you look for it. A lot of time boredom is what you see in yourself not your spouse.

Are you destine to be alone. Maybe you are only destine to be alone a while while you discover what you are about. I bet at times you feel like and old soul sometimes but you are a baby in the greater picture of your entire life so don't expect all the good stuff to happen in the first quarter.

sad but true. hell im one of them

That's one example
