Is one ever free or worthy enough in ones own eyes?
Or do we just trade eyes with the beloved….
The capacity to love: No one is perfect. And ‘good’ is such al relative concept. Especially to the soul, balanced in all its diversity….
Isn’t our laughter as deep as our sorrow? Isn’t our gentleness as deep as our cruelty?
And in the end do we trust and are we able to handle the totality of one another?
‘Going to the chapel’ this is what we say ‘I do’ to.
Yes. We say, "I do!", to one we can honestly say we are interested in getting to know over a long period of time.
Wonderful to know that another wishes to know us. It makes sense to join forces. It is a wise decision. Two heads are better than one. Four feet are more stable than two. And who does the dishes? It becomes irrelevant.
I appreciate you for your positive outlook.
Do you believe in destiny?
That it includes all even if we wish to exclude some?
I sometimes feel it’s not my friend but I wish it to be so.
To not be too far off topic:
This feeling reminds me of Immortal Beloved where Beethoven just seems to walk besides Destiny, desperately trying to get in.
But in the end all is included by the words: must it be? It must be.
But what do you mean by 'is he really British?' At first I thought you was being cynical in a funny way... but now, you seem to be a somewhat seriuos creature...
People always get destiny and fate confused. Fate is where you are put by God, destiny is what you choose to do with it. That is where true choice enters in. That , you get to choose, utterly.
I honor the idea that you can only be as good as you are evil and vice versa. It is the capacity to feel, to choose to be whatever it is you are choosing to be, to what ever extremity you choose to take it to.
But a great capacity for one extremity invariably allows you equal access to the opposite emotion. It is, as you say, relative. If Beethoven had been more open, and questioned more and not just assumed that his beliefs were correct, he could've saved himself a lifetime of anguish and loneliness. I like the saying in certain groups...Only cease to cherish your own opinion....Which closely follows, You can be happy, or you can be right, but ya usually cant have both!
Something to consider.
Love to all!
