Re: cct
well there is the answer, too many different kinds of love. but it is better to succumb to love or leave it alone? see how one question leads to another when in the end maybe it is just better to water the garden.

Re: wiley

Re: kabu
you have given me another post, but i think sometimes we are wise to know nothing about the world as we grow older, especially if we think the changes are not beneficial to anyone

Life is changing so much but not to the better even with our family and kids.

Well it is a very misused word Jean. Family love is tossed and turned over but it usually comes strong. Mostly destroyed by money. Infatuation is called love very often and is quite convenient for some to believe it is just that. Strangely it is too easy to succumb to
a convenient type of structured awareness. Perhaps most are happy with half-love and half pretend. I mean I could dream about the little blond who tells me it is going to rain every time I hose the front garden, but I just squirt her with the hose pipe.

I would say yes to both questions at the end. I would also like to add that we are living n virtual worlds, talking to people who we will never see and whose voice we will never hear. A lot of people relegate their friends and family to the online world.

I think it depends on the individual and family...what the parent teaches and what the child absorbs and does

Family life has undergone tremendous changes over the last fifty years or so - as it has in previous generations, only more quickly...

I remember those years you wrote so well about, we are of the same era, I'm 79.Life is not the same as it used to be, I have some of my own kids that never communicate with me. Divorce really is not an answer, but it is a solution.

I really know nothing about the World today. I find myself pretty invisible being older and quiet. Not the life of the party type. And the fun of Grandchildren is waning fast too as one family, I wouldn't recognise in the street and the other is as is normal for kids today. Teenagers totally wrapt in themselves. I adore them, I am sure they are fond of Nan BUT....
