    Hi LJ!!

    I hope you're having a groovy day!!

    The reason you [And I] find it hard to understand how anyone can be so shallow is because we AREN'T!! People like us are far more reflective and we tend to think things through and we TRY to see things beyond what our eyes can see!! In other words - we try to look beyond the obvious. Shallow people just don't do that. Sometimes I envy that. Life would have to be easier - I would think - if I didn't have to use my brain as often!! lol But then again - in spite of everything I've gone through - I wouldn't change my past [As odd as that may sound] IF it meant I would become a heartless, unthinking, shallow person. The world is often a very tough place to be IF you're someone who responds to it emotionally. But on the other hand - it's because we ARE so emotional [And feel things so deeply] that we have the opportunity to truly experience and appreciate 'things' like beauty, true friendship, compassion and love.

    Just so you know - you can talk to me about ANYTHING!!!!

    GREAT BIG HUG
    Craig!!

    Wow, you make a whole lot of sense and I agree with what you've said. I know a girl who's nice to talk to, but she's very shallow and picks her friends on how they look and how pretty they are. I don't understand how people can do that, but eh...thats life...
    *hugs*

    Hi LJ!!

    I hope you're having a dandy day.

    I agree!! It would be very nice indeed to be able to change the past - or at least some of the past. But then maybe everything we have gone through is 'there' for a reason. Maybe all of our past experiences - as difficult as some of those experiences have been - are part of something much bigger. My past - for instance - has made it possible for me to be able to help people - to understand how they are feeling and to truly feel compassion for those who are struggling with life. I grew up surrounded by VERY self-centered people who truly didn't care about anyone except themselves. [And they probably didn't care all that much about themselves either] I remember as a very young boy praying that I would NOT end up like THEM!! And I haven't. But maybe I had to go through all of that 'muck' for that prayer to be answered. Maybe I had to suffer in order for me to shine!! [If that makes any sense] I wanted to be 'better than' those I grew up with - and I am. And I can say that because I DO care about other people and I DO try to be thoughtful and considerate. I have often had conversations with people who I envied because they had a rather easy life. They were never bullied or picked on. Their mom or dad weren't abusive. They were good at sports and popular at school. [And so on] But far more often than not - they were also very shallow. Oh sure - most of them were 'nice' to talk to - but there wasn't anything more to them that what you could see. And I think the reason for that is that until a person is 'tested' by something in life - they never really GROW. Until a person is FORCED to question things - like what's REALLY right and REALLY wrong - they never have any reason to become reflective and thoughtful. If you have a conversation with someone who seems really nice and caring - you can almost bet that they have suffered in some way - at sometime in their life. That said - I think it's important to appreciate where we ARE and focus more on where we want to BE than on where we have BEEN.

    GREAT BIG HUG

    Hi LJ!!
    Thanks for accepting my friendship request.
    I really appreciate it!!
    I'm having 'one of those days!!' lol
    Every now and then I have 'flashbacks' of some of the silly and stupid things I've said and done in my life [Or didn't say and do] and I end up feeling really bad. So I have to keep telling myself to just FORGET IT!! lol I can't change the past. I can't change what I DID. One of those 'things' has to do with all the times I didn't stand up for myself - I just let other people treat me badly and I just stood there like an idiot - taking it. UGH!! That's just one of the many things I still have to work on.
    How are you doing?
    GREAT BIG HUG
    Craig!!
