Do I display a "demeamnor"?... I've spent a lifetime trying to get across to folks that 70% of what I say is without emapthy... My opinion, nothing more. Virtually, "clinical". What I do care about is an individul's character... heart and soul. And my heartfelt thanks to all of you that share so freely in a craft that I'm not so good at. I must be getting old and lazy, haha. I guess that I'll have to work on my preceived demaenor.   Not knowing anything about you, or what you look like, I can only go by the picture you use on your profile that represents you.. To me, the man looks like a thoughtful, analytical, yes clinical gentleman, who, under normal circumstances adheres to proper etiquette when in mixed company. So that's why I referred to you as such. Perhaps you are a man entirely different than my perception, or my imagination pictures... apologies for having to speak in the dark.. |

Loved the write but must ask... If what you seek is something of value, how can a price be placed upon it. Is it not justified by our willingness to obtain what we seek? Then again, if we feel the price too high, is it worth it in the beginning or the end? Just pondering for my own clarity as it seems more about justification rather than desire. Am I correct? Hello Soul... you cannot put a price on something that is given away.. and my personal view on what love means to me, is self sacrifice. To love another person means that I am willing to give/sacrifice everything I have whether it be money, my health, or my life to ensure the happiness of another. I believe Webster's also defines "cost" as being a sacrifice. In order to understand what I said about love being costly, you would have to first understand my view of it. Those that really know me, already understand how I am. Okay, I'm a freak of nature.. we all have our cross to bear.. :) I know that most people don't agree with me on this issue.. and that's cool.. to each his own... love is priceless and also requires sacrifice. I normally do not explain the meaning behind my work, but I will this time. Only in brief tho, I won't go line by line. This piece is about a friend of mine and me going our separate ways, and there was/is a deep love involved in the relationship. In order for me to cope with the loss, the lost friendship, the sacrifice, the lost love, as it meant more to me than it did to him, I have to think it out and express it. In the end I encourage myself to stay strong, hold my head up, and continue to feel like I belong, even if it's not to him anymore. I hope my opening myself up like this has helped you to obtain the answer you were seeking.. and thank you for reading my work and contemplating its meaning.. Please, never take me wrong. I may be analytical but it is for my own clarity that I ask because the world is not black and white, or simple. It is what we understand of it that guides our path. Understanding comes from the questions we ask, the views we see, the actions we take, and the outcomes they render. I personally do not believe love is a sacrifice, or comes with a cost. I think it is an understanding, a willingness and a devotion.... as you say, something given, not considered. Cherished, priceless, and not to be devalued by who does what for the other....shared. I love your writing, your depth. Your pain and your pleasure are yours to define, decipher and share to the degree of your willingness, and I commend you in that effort. We others, your readers, fans, followers, are but the stars above you to draw light from, or the clouds to obscure. Hopefully light will dominate your journey. Pain is always an enemy, but also our best teacher if we allow it to be. Please forgive my inability to express myself as eloquently as some, but everyones journey is different, their paths thru life not so gifted or fotunate with education or sophistication. It is never my intent to do harm, obscure, only to learn. |

It is never my intent to do harm, obscure, only to learn. You have not offended me, Soul. Our minds might not be on the same page becuz we don't know each other, come from different walks of life, and express ourselves differently, but I appreciate your input, because you cause me to think deeper. And yes, you can inspire me through whatever feelings I might have as a result of our interactions, good or bad. That is what I love about self expression. How even a tiny spark can start a fire, and a ray of light can shine on a new path...
