We Put Our Values In

We Have A Sense That We Should Be Like The Mythical Cowboy... Able To Take On And Conquer Anything And Live In The World Without The Need For Other People.

Now That I'm Suffering, I Feel Closer To People Who Suffer More Than I Ever Did Before. The Other Night, On Tv, I Saw People In Bosnia Running Across The Street, Getting Fired Upon, Killed, Innocent Victims....and I Just Started To Cry. I Feel Their Anguish As If It Were My Own. I Don't Know Any Of These People. But - How Can I Put This? I'm Almost......drawn To Them.

Well, The Truth Is, If You Really Listen To That Bird On Your Shoulder, If You Accept That You Can Die At Any Time–then You Might Not Be As Ambitious As You Are.

There Is No Formula To Relationships. They Have To Be Negotiated In Loving Ways, With Room For Both Parties, What They Want And What They Need, What They Can Do And What Their Life Is Like. In Business, People Negotiate To Win. They Negotiate To Get What They Want. Maybe You’re Too Used To That. Love Is Different. Love Is When You Are As Concerned About Someone Else’s Situation As You Are About Your Own.

The Tension Of Opposites: Life Is A Series Of Pulls Back And Forth. You Want To Do One Thing, But You Are Bound To Do Something Else. Something Hurts You, Yet You Know It Shouldn't. You Take Certain Things For Granted, Even When You Know You Should Never Take Anything For Granted. A Tension Of Opposites, Like A Pull On A Rubber Band. And Most Of Us Live Somewhere In The Middle.
