Hello there stranger - it feels like AGES since I've been on the forum due to evil-work pressures / having no life!!

I know a lot of people have super cool and intellectual quotes but in my mind-numbed state at work this afternoon - this one just seemed so perfect.

I was wondering where you were, but I didn't want to intrude in case you were busy! :)

It really is a great quote. I admit I haven't yet read the last HP book- it was released when I was in Germany- but I *did* hop on websites a few days afterwards to finally find out what happens- naughty me! I couldn't help it. ;)

Of course I still want to read it though...

The scenes of our life resemble pictures in rough mosaic; they are ineffective from
close up, and have to viewed from a distance if they are to seem beautiful. That is why to attain something desired is to discover how vain it is; and why, though we live all our lives in expectation of better things, we often at the same time long
regretfully for what is past. The present, on the other hand, is regarded as something quite temporary and serving only as the road to our goal. That is why most men discover when they look back on their life that they have the whole time been living ad interim, and are surprised to see that which they let go by so unregarded and unenjoyed was precisely their life, was precisely that in expectation of which they lived...

(...) In our early youth we sit before the life that lies ahead of us like children sitting before the curtain in a theatre, in happy and tense anticipation of whatever is going to appear. Luckily we do not know what really will appear. For to him who does know, children can sometimes seem like innocent delinquents, sentenced not to death but to life, who have not yet discovered what their punishment will consist of. Nonetheless, everyone desires to achieve old age, that is to say a condition in which one can say: "Today it is bad, and day by day it will get worse - until at last the worst of all arrives."

[d_h´s men thinking (silly-mode: ON/mysterious-mode: OFF)]

The people who are always living alone are often challenged to talk/argue about existing problems in a relationship or they don´t like compromises and finally they chose rather a pet as a companion through their life than an human.
Try to guess why.

Did you realize in a store/supermarket how many different chocolate they are and how many pet food and how many baby food?

In the country where I am living there are almost no babyfood in store/supermarket but there are tons of different food for pets and many chocolade for healing the soul/heart/brain...

More and more singles....

[d_h´s men thinking (silly-mode: OFF/mysterious-mode: in standby modus)]

Don´t be sad, there are 3500000000 men on earth and you have only meet comparetively few of them..... ;)

<Flight mode: ON> :D

@d_h: This is subject that poped up in "how do you feel like" thread also. I just want to say (maybe Atma will agree?) that we are NOT looking for someone else and we are not THAT sad, at least not more than the logical and necessary amount of sadness for break up situations :)

I´m an old fashioned romantic girl. I wish to have tons of kids grabbing my skirt some day. But who knows? Life is delightfully weird. Trying to explain myself better I can only think "life is alive!", it grows, mutates, changes, comes and goes, surprises you... I guess that all these years, we forgot to notice that, and THAT is the major change, not the breakup itself.

Where was I? Lots of singles, yeahp. And it also seems to be a season of break ups all over the world. Moon phase? Sunspots? El Niño? Flying pigs? El Chupacabras? I really don´t know.

Lepand recomends: Aldous Huxley´s Brave New World (in spanish "El mundo feliz").

I vote Chupacabras myself, but then I'm really fond of Chupacabras. ;)

But anyhoo yeah, I agree with LePand. My own nightmare breakup was last year and I'm no more a Crazy Cat Lady now than I was when I started. ;)

But she's exactly right- life is a malleable, vibrant thing. All things being equal, it's up to us to choose how we will react to situations, even and especially really bad ones. We *are* our thoughts. Tell your brain how to think about something and it will do exactly that. So after some time passes and one has gone through the normal grieving process... all things being equal, why not choose to utilize the situation to further discovery about oneself and about life? It's all there for the taking...

Frankly speaking, I really don't know what's your point. Or maybe you want to date me...? Hahahahahahha

The truth is that people find happiness in a different things, situations... What is good for you doesn't have to be good for someone else... It's so obvious that I'm really surprised & embarrased I have to explain that... :rolleyes:

I'm happy being single. What's wrong with it? I know when and why I feel good? Somehow you seem to have a problem with it... But, as a wise man says: "A man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." - and maybe this is your problem... You can't understand that some people can feel content in a situation that for you would be a reason for sadness... hm, how should I call it....? lack of tolerance, imagination, understanding, a compromise (?) to face the fact that different people have differet needs and different ways to achieve happiness... (?)

I was only talking about how I feel, and I guess I have right to say so cause ME it's ME and I know the best how I AM, but I'm not sure you have the same right to judge when and how other people should feel good or bad.

Thanx.

My thoughts are maybe to abstract. :tongue:

There is a big linguistic gap by myself to tell what I am thinking.

But I think there is lil truth in my thinking.

Bytheway, I don´t like Schopenhauer. :schimpf:

Abstract thoughts... Mhm. Would rather call it subjective.

So, my good advice is, if you're not sure how and what you want to say, better say nothing (especially while trying to judge others).

My own golden thought is: there're as many worlds as many eyes on the world.
So your thoughts are your truth mine are my truth.

Many ppl don't like Schopenhauer, many ppl love Schopenhauer. So....? It's really not a reason to get so... red.

PS. Be happy with your love then, and let other ppl be happy too the way they want to be.

Clear enough?

Thanx.
