thnks for the comment! I can only imagine how busy you are.

Yeah I used to be loyally devoted to bottled water. When in your post you said how ppl do blind test n can’t tell the difference, I actually do the blind test myself. And I realized that it’s all in my head all along . both tasted as nice. Well they r abit different. But not in the sense that one is nicer/fresher than the other.

Hm when I get sick, I’ll go to giulia n ask for free stuff.
(that’s a joke)

ps: did you watch dr Phil today? He was talking about why men cheat. He said that you can tell by their hands. If the ring finger is longer than index finger, he’s more likely to cheat because of the high testoterone level. ( can’t spell that word)
he explaind that the gene and brain condition can cause 70% of the reason why men cheat. So if you damage the head with sport, it can affect the brain. You can also do a DNA test to see if a man has the gene of a cheater.
But of course the remaining 30% is by choice. Some of the experts r debating if sex addiction exist or is it just an excuse. Because back then ages ago,when life is simpler, it didn’t exist. But now because of the modern times and people want more stimulation (and something Which I don’t remember) so sex addiction exist gambling addiction exist, game addiction exist,etc

what do you think?

We could all do it a bit more, I think. Anyway, enough philosophising!

A glow worm’s never glum.
How can you be unhappy,
When the sun shines out yer bum!

The good old RELATIONSHIP debate! There is a whole industry dedicated to unearthing the secrets of a good relationship….it is a minefield!!

Personally, I think many relationships are doomed from the beginning because people get into them for the wrong reason(s) or have unrealistic expectations to start with (the divorce rate is 50% and of the other 50% how many are in a committed, happy and functional relationship?)!

Aristophanes relates a mythical story to Plato as written in “The Symposium” – Once upon a time there were gods in the heavens and humans on earth. The humans each had 2 heads, 4 legs and 4 arms. In other words 2 people joined together in perfect unison and harmony into 1 being. There were 3 types: male/female, male/male and female/female. All the bases were covered. As a result of being with our perfect partner we were all as happy as Larry!!

But in our wholeness we became overly proud and we neglected to worship the gods. As a result, the mighty Zeus punished us by cutting all of us into 2 and in the process inflicted on mankind that most painful of human conditions: the gnawing and constant sense that we are not quite whole. Hence the belief that we need to find our other half, our soul mate in order to complete us and make us truly happy!

People, only you can make yourself happy. No one else is responsible for your happiness. A partner is there to complement you not complete you. It is a fallacy that one plus one will somehow equal one. In fact, it is a mathematical impossibility!

You don’t have to get married because you are a certain age or because you have been going out for a few years or because your parents get on with your partner’s parents or because everyone else in your circle of friends is hooking up.

You don’t have to be in a relationship to complete you!!

If you do wish to be in a relationship and let’s face it, most of us do – then it might be prudent to heed the thoughts of Carl Jung. He suggested that the first 6 months of most love stories is pure projection. You are captivated by your own reflection, intoxicated by a dream of completion that you have projected on to a virtual stranger. You don’t think straight. Real, mature love that comes with mortgages, kids, in-laws etc is based on affection and respect – qualities that take time to nurture and grow. The latin word for respect is respicere – to gaze at! That suggests you can actually see the person who is your partner – something you cannot do in the early stages of your relationship….

Don’t get me wrong. I agree with you Sarah. To be able to relate intimately to someone and be in a loving, functional relationship is a wonderful thing. Getting it right is the hard part. And remember you have to water a plant if you want it to flower. How many people water their relationship???

All the best.
