Daily Alchemy: Can we make this controversy good?
22d ago“Should Trump have invited Xi to the White House despite China's warnings about Taiwan?”
It all depends how one views the world. Since we live in a capitalist society putting a price or a monetary value is how the system thrives and survives. You cannot put a price on love and friendship.... This is an interesting topic — one I’ve wrestled with for many years. Over time, I’ve learned something important: I can’t change the world’s problems, and the world isn’t obligated to care about me.... You drift off
We are in the hot tub talking. "I don't know what you want me to do," she says. "What?" "You drift off for fifteen minutes, and I can ask you about what we were just talking about, but then you look at me like I'm crazy because that was so long ago." "I do?" "Yeah, and I feel... Good to see that you overcame the false notion that exemplifying transparency and dedication doesn’t automatically cause others to follow. That some or most others follow is to be desired, but still not realistic, for we really only see desirable attributes in others and... Topic of the day..
A massive lesson i learned is that I can't expect people to match the effort I put in. I always thought if I tried harder and was honest and transparent that people would give the same back to me, but that's not true.... Recipe for a thriving loving marriage
For an extraordinary and nourishing marriage you will need the following ingredients: 2 Individuals 1 Bonding ritual 1 Communication skills 1 Relationship support skills Step one: Stir two individuals together until they begin to form an Us.... Not at all. In fact, I'm still trying to uncover the things that happened. But there's no telling. People won't own up to anything. It's like we live in a world, full perverse people. Who, are OKAY, with the things they did to someone else.... Thoughts on the aftermath of trauma
Anyone dealt with the severe trauma that comes from either childhood neglect and/or domestic violence? Nobody talks about the effects it begins to have once you enter into a new, healthy relationship. Something that is foreign territory and unknown to some.... Honestly it all depends on, if you're both willing to suffer for each other to gain knowledge and understanding of each other. To have a future of understanding, as a team who is truly the one that you can love.... Your comments on your (the future) wife being a part of that catalyzing experience feels like a call back to some of the stuff Annie Lalla was talking about earlier.
I want to talk more about treating all men as though I’m interviewing for life partnership. I can move past it, but that frame does initially tug at a compulsion to be pleasant, to look for the best in a man, to stay in a connection past the point of being respected, etc.... I really hate to say it, but ever since Trump was elected in 2016, i've had to take the fight and enrage options, but only because I had no other choices. have a strained relationship with my Father-in-Law at best when it comes to this topic.... Not sure if this fits with today’s theme but I would be really curious to hear Annie’s perspective on what is going on with dating. I feel like I know so many great women who have done a lot of personal growth work and are struggling to find life partnership.... I stand my ground and fight for everything that I believe in No matter what the cost, but there is definitely a fine line between lies and truth and I do not believe in defending myself or anybody else for something knowingly that was said or done wrong....
