yes, we were.... but you know, even in a discussion face to face, infront of someone, occasionally you end up talking about something different to the discussion you began with! Most of the relationships end in pain. Why do we still desire to get into one? Should one not try to live life alone in happiness? So what do you think of this then? What would you respond, this question asked of you?

It's the fragility of life that makes it all the sweeter. The less we remain in denial about that, the more enriched our lives will become. The Inuit, my brothers who live on Baffin Island in Canada, have one word - Uvatiarru- which means " in the distant past" AND " in the distant future". This is as we should see it. A voyage not linear, but also not to be repeated and therefore unique and delicate.
Life's messy. Stay in your pajamas.

Not all relationships end in pain. Some continue in pain, some continue happily and do not end until the death of one partner. Living alone can be done happily and forever. No matter our circumstances, our lives are filled with whatever we wish and make for ourselves. The day to dayness of our lives is completely up to us, no matter who else they may involve. Living, whether alone, or with another person does not impact our intimate relationship, our part in the web of life we call nature, where, if we realize our connections and our oneness, we can live without pain.

Jan,
You are in favor of relationships? Or being alone?

Alexandra, I was hoping my second post would make more sense.

[color:#333399]To love is to know vulnerability, fear, and pain.
BUT........
To love is a beautiful expression and affirmation of life.
As for me, I'd have rather loved than not.[/color]
