I have always
hurt for the 'other woman'.........when I've found out that I've been cheated on. Always thought I was a bit strange i n this way....you know 'Hallmark moments' for the 'other woman.' Here's the deal: If I've been wronged so has the other woman ....and my heart bleeds for her too.

Avant- Grieving is a natural process that cleanses the soul.

That's good. It's not really about the other at all. We make it about the other when we worry ourselves with them and cause them to become dependent.

Hello Avant

Helping another to stand is one thing; holding onto them so they will not fall again is quite another.

I always give money to homeless persons asking.Your above quote seems to say how that works.In Vancouver once I bought a baguet and on the way home passed a young homeless guy wrapped in blanket.I gave him half my baguet and felt pretty good for it.
