Re: CCT
If we were more honest when young Naut, but all seemed a bewildering lack of substance. No wonder the divorce rate high one rarely lives up to the other's
early conception . If you get my spiel. It has been the same for years but poverty kept the lid on that pot of worms.

The explanation does not explain all (which would be impossible anyway), but at least I know now why that poem reminded me of reflecting mirrors...And the green man poem is also very intriguing...

Good thinking Ciel, we make the strangest choices when we are young and not really suitable to do so. Nothing is easy and no one is perfect but the illusions never fade.

Re: Re: Ciel
I've taken a few leaps that turned out traumatic to one degree or another. Yet... I keep surviving. Some say, and I believe, that we are here in the world to learn to make choices. I hope I am learning to live with the choices of the past, and make wiser ones in the future.
Sometimes, I guess, we just have to decide that the one we made was the best one: that all the others, though they might look better, might have turned out worse!

Re: Ciel
Well Ciel I understand what you mean and in future I will try to be more open. It is probably my fault I say things and think folk must know what I mean, but of course every meaning is different to each of us. I know you took traumatic leap at one stage and that is not always as easy as it sounds.

Re: FS FS
Yes one must not get into the state of thinking that others are thinking the same. FS.
It is easy to do that, but not truly advisable.

I found it very interesting to read your explanation of yesterday's poem...A wonderful job with the imagery in today's poem.

Thank you for the explanation.
I love the way you put words together, but I don't always get your meaning.
We truly can't know all it would serve us to know. We regret when we know we have done ill... but on the other hand, we don't get to know all the good we do, either--the smile to a stranger, that brought them out of despair... and ultimately, each person's path is made of their own choices.
My own regrets for mistakes and clumsinesses were getting me down, until I realized: At least, I took the risk. And that is better than never taking a risk. Even so, at this stage, I am trying not to risk too carelessly... to have learned from mistakes.

Re: Hmmm.
Had to changed it a bit Pat. Our friend Jimmy spotted a mistake.
A job to see for looking sometimes.
Being told 'No' is a rough deal because very often one
has deliberated deeply before asking and has to climb back
out of the little dream world, sadly the other person then decides
otherwise and messes it all up.

Re:
Cheers Jimmy a bit of a clanger there, I still do not find it easy, it is rather disturbing sometimes one sees things with more clarity as one grows older and I often wish it would not happen.Note I have changed the explanation, Good chap.

Your explanation is both commendable and understandable, but there's one aspect I must humbly and respectfully disagree with. Personally, I don't find it easy at all to live with regrets, primarily because, at this point in my life, I have too many to count! If I had a time machine . . .

Hmmm.
Being human and seeking acceptance is a confusing experience, often lonely. Being told "No" is not fun. I like the way you explain life.
