Of course, I am not going to sit here and lie you to your face... Yes I still do use a certain green product... But that makes me appreciate this feeling even more... right now I am totally clear..... At work you see.... I just feel sorry for poor people like Wil who have to endure my high ramblings of how I feel lol...

I meant more people mate, rather than the herb.

Loving some people can mess with your head, and leave you cold.

Not if you're Love is strong.. I accept the majority of the world will not Love me back... It is sad and upsetting but, it happens, I shall Love them never the less!

You know how you were saying you're tired? In that other conversation, and here you acknowledge that kind of "high" from the chemical balance in your head when happy and feeling Love? Can you see a solution?

There is a film... Called "the man" Comedy... This guy in it... Always says "I've never met anyone that hasn't been my friend in the end..." That is what I am aiming for.

The solution is to replace a person you love who is damaging to you, with someone you love that isn't damaging to you. If you can count those you love and/or trust on the fingers of one hand, you are fortunate. Never give everything of yourself, not to anyone, or anything, and be a lone wolf.

Those that rely totally on love, or the love of others, put themselves in a vulnerable position. By all means, love your wife etc, however, be brave enough to be the lone wolf.

Imo, of course.

I'm not sure brother! Because what takes more courage? To hide away? Or to open up? In my opinion what I am trying to do is come out from being a "lone wolf" and be sharing... And I feel deep down that takes more..

I obviously mean those first steps and that descision.. But it becomes so easy and comfortable and feels right after awhile...

It is fine to be open, just be wary who you open out to.

Lest you trust too easily, and find yourself with a knife (metaphorically), in your back. Never ever let your enemies know what you are thinking.

What enemies? lol.... Why does there have to always be a threat or a catch? But, yeah I apreciate what you're saying

But stil gonna throw suspiscion and caution out the window... What ever pops up I'll deal with it there and then.... If I keep this idea of some negative agenda or something negative being an effect from my positive effects, it wouldn't be worth while, because I would miss so many golden oppotunities..... My spelling has gone to ass for some reason lol....

So many questions, sir.

I'm afraid that is the way it is.

Try it for a time. Trust everyone, tell everyone everything, and soon you will find what I am saying is true. I am not saying I want it to be that way, I am saying that is the way it is. I just accept it.

Not trying to convince anyone, mate. Just speaking from many years of experience, is all.

From experiene, everyones experiences differ. But, man seriously if somethings bothering you we should drop the subject.... See who Jesus was... (sorry we kinda deraile... No train wrecked the topic sorry )

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus also taught his disciples how to show love for fellow humans. He said: "All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them." (Matthew 7:12) The word "men" that Jesus used here includes even one's enemies. In the same sermon, he said: "Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you." (Matthew 5:43, 44) Would not such love solve many of the problems that we face today? Hindu leader Mohandas Gandhi thought so. He is quoted as saying: "When [we] shall get together on the teachings laid down by Christ in this Sermon on the Mount, we shall have solved the problems . . . of the whole world." Jesus' teachings about love, if applied, can solve many of mankind's ills.

He was a great teacher

Nowt bothering me mate! Just saying, while it is a lovely idea to think you can go around loving and trusting everyone, you can't. Well, you can, but just expect muchos dissapointment.

That was really my sole point.
