...to have a thought here in private, when I can think to all embarrassment in public on FaceBook
"Too bad that youth is wasted on the young." -- Samuel Clemens (or was it Mark Twain?)
I prefer the company of young people, since most people of my generation are jaded burnouts who think that there is nothing else to discover; so make companions out of big screen TVs
Men seek soul mates,
while women seek validation and lifestyles. Given the right lifestyle a woman will forego all other validation
Family and Holidays
When I was younger and had to spend holidays with my family, I would be sad, feeling confined, imprisoned. I would think, this is it? This group of people holding back their toxicity (or not) going through the ruled process of greeting card love (meals, decorations, traditions), celebrating love by metrics of material gain, not psychically engaged. I wanted the days after the holiday, when I could go back to pursuing love as a transcendental entanglement beyond the material acquisition for validation. I sought the sweetness of two souls, and bodies, enmeshed in bliss. For most of the women I met, that was a façade.
The Shopping Fish
She’s a shopping fish, needing to constantly be buying to keep the life giving oxygen of material gain flowing over her insatiable gills of acquisition. And, she deferentially refers to it as “security”, denying her addictive fixation for gratification
Heaven...
..is a place where women remember that love is not a race to gain a material lifestyle.
That the fabulous connection is spiritual, emotional and intellectual; not some hedonistic form of validation and mundane aquisition
Sex...
...is the portal to the soul and therefore should be entered into with love
What It's About
If you make it about your body Then that’s all it will be about So, make it about your soul Let others love you in your wholeness
With values the depth of skin or puddles You’ll step in puddles and not swim in warm seas and oceans of love plumbing the depths of love’s bliss
So let it be about just Being. Be about love always in all ways. And you’ll find yourself in love With another and self inseperable
On Taking...
Nobody's happy because nobody's taking lovers with which to make a shared transcendental journey exploring our humanness. Everyone takes hostages, to fit in each other's individually exclusive life plans of material gain, setting up the "other" as an object wrapped in expectations that can't possibly be met, leaving only a single path to follow to disappointment.
Monogamy is great, but...
... forever always means someone is a hostage. A huge aspect of real love, is letting go; allowing a person to follow their journey into their own growth and hopefully spiritual path to enlightenment without being chained to another. Most of us understand this with kids and let them go. Why not we let go of our lovers as easily, if we truly love them? Good to be with one person and one person only -- for a while -- helps both to develop the intimacy that empowers both more than each could alone.
Money can't buy you love...
...but it will get you the closest thing most women are capable of.
The only difference between a date and a prostitute is that with a prostitute you pay "after" you have had sex. With a date you pay whether you have sex or not.
