What happened to love, caring, 50/50?

[mikalabird]

Has everybody lost sight of the fact that love can actually make the world go round? I'm not a sixties/seventies chick, "make love not war". I just believe that if people were more courteous to others, the place would indoubtedly be a happy place. And no, I'm not naive, and in my own fantasy land. I just think people have lost the simplicity of life........Things are all made to be too complex, which in turn makes people ?@#holes and forget that they are not the only ones in this world. I know a bit deep, I have moments.

In deep thought,

Hmmmm...,

You seem very nice and hope you are doing well with all your interests as they seem dear to you.
I agree people are a bit like the weather at times and easy to forcast there moods as well in many cases. I'm wondering at times whether we actually taste the hamburger when we eat it or do we just eat it? Life needs to be tasted as far I believe but like you say too many people are chasing the things that they can never really hold.
Your heart will hold your dreams and in so much as this sounds washy so shall your heart find your true longings and hopes.

Dear Rex,
I wasn't talking about myself, just in general, I see it all the time in people. I think I'm a good judge of people, at least I think I am. It was just one of those Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm questions! Silly Rex!

Dear, dear girl!

There is one fallacy in your premise -- that if everyone gave 50/50, relationships would be better. For a really strong relationship, such as marriage, it can't be 50/50. It has to be 100/100. Each has to give all of themselves, holding nothing back. All too often, it is 100/50, or 100/0...

Unconditional love, acceptance, and forgiveness -- from and to both parties -- will REALLY rock your world!

PS: I do know what you meant: that each party must contribute equally to a relationship. You are absolutely right, and wise beyond your years to know that.

Is Grandma suggesting that I am aggressive?
If so how? And frankly, if I wanted to be agressive you'd know it!!!! I've never talked to you before Grandma, but if you like to tell me a little about yourself I may have an idea as to where your comments are coming from.

My dear Foggy you are absolutley correct, a slight slip up for me. I did surely mean to say you must give 100%.

Hi Mikalabird,

You almost got it right, just that the numbers are wrong. It is not 50/50, it is 100/100. I am trying to find a woman from the Ukraine to make my wife and have run into this 50/50. Always something being held back. The first casualty of hurt is trust. The trust that must exist between two people if there is going to be a meainingful elationship.

I understand only some of what some of these women have been through - I would like to understand more. I also am holding back. I know that there are sharks in the water where I am swimming. Male and female sharks - people that only want to take advantage of other people.

Perhaps you can inform me on how to identify the sharks. (Wouldn't that be great if you could.)
