Comments on life love and relationships

If your going to leave a comment on my blog about life love and dating relationships. Have the courtesy and common sense to at least keep your comments to something pertaining to what I'm blogging on. Don't think that leaving a "keep up the good work" on my life love and relationships kind of blog, and then after your one liner leave a whole page of your own marketing bs will fly. Cause I'll just delete it.

Life Love and Relationships

Earlier this evening I read something interesting. Everyone wants to be with someone who'll not only love them for who they are, but be wholly committed, faithful, honest, and true to them. It's not suprising that these are strong desires to seek in another person when it's about love (not suprising in a lot of decent friendships really - love is defined and truly shown through a person of good character).

That probably is not suprising. However, what was suprising is that often because of impatience, the easiness of a "quick-bite" people will go for whatever comes their way first. Easiest catch I suppose it could also be said. It is the relationship that is momentarily satif ying, but ultimately dead and empty. Really it is the "American" way - to have a desire instatly satisfied.

Now I know that may not be entirely true, but too often it is, and too often we ourselves are victimized by this evolving and rapidly transmitted social-psycho brainwashing. We look around and see happy couples, not so happy couples, domestic violence couples, and think that we need to jump on that band wagon of love and relationships.

...But that is not the way to go.

A while back I watched a movie that brought up the 20/80 rule. When I first heard and learned this rule it was about money. That eighty percent of the worlds money is contrlolled by twenty percent of the population - top twenty percent if you will. After seeing the movie and commenting it with a friend of mine from San Diego (Thanks Linlin), I learned that his rule make actually also apply to relationships as well.

That perhaps only twenty percent of the male or female you meet have eighty percent of what you are looking for in a person to spend your life with. But so often we'll go for the other eighty percent just because they're there, and it seems like they got what you want. In the end however, it was all just an illusion. A figment of your "desiring blind" imagination.

Know what you want in a person, but also be a person that is also desireable. We can't change other people, but we can change ourselves. Know what you desire, or you'll fall for anyone. Even if she's not what you really want in a person, you may endup going head over heels without thinking that would happen. Be careful, because if you do that, you'll only be setting yourself up for a heartbreak.

It's good to be picky, but not be too picky. I've learned to see people for who they are a little bit more than what they look like. Seeing and being apart of someone's life, at the heart of life, is magnificent and truly wondrous. Make sure you share that with someone you know you want to grow old with. It will make that life long loving relationship truly wonderful and blessed.

Don't just go for anyone,
