Other than the fact that I may be more cheerful than you, really, in person I am, we seem to have like minds. <BR/><BR/>I'll try to find time to read more of your first posts, they are interesting.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449945.post-1155958828415266942006-08-18T20:40:00.000-07:002006-08-18T20:40:00.000-07:00As I've said before.

Women just don't get that because our ancestors brainwashed it out of them. And we have been paying for it ever since.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449945.post-1155945667731817162006-08-18T17:01:00.000-07:002006-08-18T17:01:00.000-07:00Yes, it was a failed relationship, and an attempt ...Yes, it was a failed relationship, and an attempt at a new relationship with a religious woman, that started me thinking of religion and spirituality, and how different those two practices are. The first failed relationship was my fault, I thought that there had to be something more to life, I was wrong, I had everything one could want in life and was still not satisfied. Happiness is wanting what you have, and not having what you want.<BR/><BR/>Religion ruined the second because of her illogical approach that religious values were more important than moral values. In other words, her religious rituals were more important than treating people with dignity or human rights. Thats when I discovered that it was still possible to be spiritual without having to be scammed by some religion.FreakyNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856040368830323676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449945.post-1155860677070957312006-08-17T17:24:00.000-07:002006-08-17T17:24:00.000-07:00Interesting song, I’ve never heard it before. Hold...Interesting song, I’ve never heard it before. Hold on, things are occurring to me here. :-)<BR/><BR/>Where they at in their lives when they made that song? Where are they now? That is, in satisfaction with their lives and how things are going for them now. The author of that song may be in a different place now than she was then. Maybe at the time she was going through an era of struggle trying to understand things and then decided to say to hell with it all and stop taking it all so seriously. I’m just shooting at ducks here, but I’m a pretty good shot.<BR/><BR/>I didn’t take my first fifty years very serious, just worked, played, raised a family the best I could, things like that. I sure as hell didn’t search for any spirituality, to busy just living. Then things started to change, women started to become more difficult to have decent relationships with, in large part because all the good ones are busy and taken and mostly what you have left is the difficult ones. This is true.<BR/><BR/>The more trouble men and women have with each other, the more time they spend searching for answers and their spirituality, and the meaning too it all. When you are in a good, or reasonably good relationship you don’t give it all that much thought, you just live life. Am I right so far? I’m sure more stuff will occur to me later.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.com
