well, my goal to try and sincerely love everyone is proving very challenging...perhaps i'm crazy to try..i mean..i may sincerely care about people at the moment that i'm speaking to them, but only have lasting concern for a handful of people, if that. perhaps that's all one can ask to be...loving to ppl while interacting with them...anyway. this is boring reading i'm sure.
hope i have at least touched some lives in my 'moments' of compassion,
love, ...uh, ok, take care, rather,:-)
alestap.s. i do, however, stand by the concept that ppl have no business having close friends of the opposite sex when in a committed relationship...sorry, no one is going to change my mind on that or tell me it's 'controlling'...i stand by that view firmly. and all you guys and gals are more than welcome to yours. i believe their are articles on emotional infidelity on the net if anyone's curious about this topic...and yes, loving others can take away from loving one's spouse...your mind can be on someone else, rather than your spouse (romantic feelings focused elsewhere). which is not fair to the spouse. sorry to hound this topic. i'm done with it. i promise. :)
(i am currently pms-ing and experiencing benadryl-induced irritability...hope it isn't reflected here...don't think so but had to put a warning label.:))

oh...just had to add that i am now swaying more toward intellectualism and less toward spiritualism...the pendulum swings once again...it always does..i'm sure this isn't the final product by any means...
why i keep posting my journey in my head i will never know...this is becoming a bit self-gratifying at this point...and uncomfortable as well...i mean, why am i really doing this? lol perhaps time to move on. life is becoming more and more of a preoccupation these days...

I post things about my life sometimes just to see it written out. For some reason I can't get the same inspiration just journaling.
As for loving everybody, I think its one of those things that you know you will never completely achieve, but by trying you make yourself a better person. I try to stick to the whole karma thing. I try not to do something negative just to retaliate or something like that. I don't always succeed of course, but I have had some really remarkable outcomes when adhering to this philosophy.

Hello there TC! hope you are doing well my friend! nice to see you are still around, too.:) always happy to hear from ya!
> I post things about my life sometimes just to see it written out. For some reason I can't get the same inspiration just journaling.i know...i love writing to a live audience...when i feel like writing...although i have this weird nagging fear recently..kind of a fear of plagiarism...of someone sort of plagiarizing my ideas, which has curbed my posting quite a bit...i mean, i might wanna post my philosophies in a book one day or somethin...:) or just not be plagiarized. so i'm gonna start keeping things brief

yes...i agree tc...thanks...it does make you a better person...i've focused on being a good person for years now...and still am kind of disappointed at my limited abilities to care about others...but i know that i'm caring more than i would have otherwise..<I try not to do something negative just to retaliate or something like that. I don't always succeed of course, but I have had some really remarkable outcomes when adhering to this philosophy.
yes, tc, same here....i am notoriously non-retaliative...let god deal with it..don't want the karma or various consequences to myself for retaliating...or to let them change me...although i might have a different attitude recently...not sure...i'm not sure what i feel/think right now about certain things..how i would react...still finding myself..i know you probably know what i mean, tc.:) nice to see a like-minded spiritual person here. i notice the boards only like my playful side. so i'm gonna rebel and be ultra-serious from now on. HA!:)
tc, have a fantastic day!!!!!!

Oh well, I don't think I can keep my theories to myself even if I tried. And in this environment I have a 'captive' audience!

>> nice to see a like-minded spiritual person here. i notice the boards only like my playful side. so i'm gonna rebel and be ultra-serious from now on. HA!:)Thanks. I've always wondered if I could qualify as spiritual since I'm not really religious, but I guess I am. I know I do feel spiritual when I'm in nature. I believe there are things beyond our understanding. Who knows if there are spirits or good and negative energy, but at this level of human exsistance its just beyond our comprehension.
And I like your serious and your playful side. Who cares what 'the boards' seem to like better. Its impossible to get an accurate reading in this environment anyway!
