  The Way To Love

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of my favorite little books is: the way to love: the last meditations of anthony de mello.. following is from the chapter: be awake.

  it may be too direct, ruthlessly honest and straight-forward for many; we are not normally exposed to such hard-hitting guidance.

  yet some of you it will touch in a significant way; enough to purchase this rare little gem that you may gleem from its pages much wisdom.. .

  Yeah I guess than from seing someone suffering or in need for instance, we have the hability to feel for ... I guess we skip that regarding a lot ... (out of real inhability to help) there must be lots of "REASONS" related to ourselves (ego which lead the feelings) and since its about to feel. Somehow it's about to realiase what disconnect us from some others (WHY?).

  That's somehow also what the bible is saying in its own way (kill your body/material side/vanity-Ego to be able to be spiritual which allow to be more loving in fact)

  i'm just curious to get the point ... what did you find the most satisfying in your relationship (i mean serious relationship which is supposed to last) with your other half after 5 to 10 years:.

  a listing would be nice in the preferential order like.

  Trust (not easy to find out from the start)
  Supportive (humm ... sounds cool and maybe it's easier to realise it from the beginning)

  Now it's really interesting that you've thought about putting the negative !!! Thanks !!!

  so what is it?

  i say mine is english with an admixture of german (before the nazis ever existed, no need to go on about that) northern french and italian from venice.

  i look northern european and feel close to that part of the world with family tradition being roman catholic.

  African (don't know from where since they were slaves) both sided / Italian Father side / French Father and Mother sides / Biello russian Mother sides / Chinese both sides of my Father sides ... but all together that makes me 1/3 of the 3 basic races and I'm very happy about that.

  ........Condemnation........

  by WingCommander in

  2. friends

  loving 80's music, electronic, etc i have always liked such artists as inxs, depeche mode, etc.

  every time i hear depeche mode's, "condemnation" i feel they could be singing about ex-jw's or any person leaving a cult or hard situation.

  condemnation.

  I like the lyrics too but (to me) kind of limited about what it is pointing at. What about blindness in kindness?
