And because of this, I think that people stay in non-working relationships because they are trying to recapture what they saw when they first met a person. People change over even the smallest period time. <BR/><BR/>If that person isn't the same person that they were when you met him/her, then you have a choice to make.That Dude Right Therehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05945947593109685871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12180121.post-62574169457787863732008-08-11T08:06:00.000-04:002008-08-11T08:06:00.000-04:00You've got to be the wisest blogger I know...reall...You've got to be the wisest blogger I know...really.<BR/><BR/>To answer your question, what I see affects who I deal with on soooo many levels. I'll speak from a romantic point of view.<BR/><BR/>I see greatness, for real. I so determined to reach my relative definition of success and I'm doing things now to lay the foundation and ground work. So many times I've come across great people who I'll end up falling for only to realize that they aren't positioning themselves for any level of success or greatness. It's hard too because at a certain point you have to stop and realize why you are sharing your life, intimately, with a person who has no ambitions, goals, or great desires. It's hard...because right now it feels good, it tastes good, it looks good, and it smells good. But sometimes (as John Chapter 5 eludes to) you have to cut out the stuff that looks good on the outside, to allow a firm foundation for the stuff to be great on the inside.<BR/><BR/>It's a hard call sometimes, but like Les Brown says, "you gotta do what you gotta do...to do what you gotta do."<BR/><BR/>Great post!Darius T.

It would make more sense to say, "...then what you SAW was temporary.” But then, I'm not good with riddles. And what does it matter anyway?<BR/><BR/>Temporary, permanent, who cares? People are who they are. An intelligent person can figure out what's actually there to see. We're all so sceptical these days. It's not that easy to be fooled. And if it is, then fool be fooled.<BR/><BR/>As far as relationships go, when we find that special person who gives us that feeling that we want to dedicate our lives to them, we need to just start looking at things differently. Humans are naturally selfish, but we need to drop all that. When you make that leap, it's no longer "me," it's "us." Two lives become one. For better or worse, in sickness and in health, and all that mess. WE need to realize that there are things that are much much more important than worrying about or dealing with drama. Gay or straight, I think that we make it so easy to let walking away be an option. And over what, really? It shouldn't be that easy. <BR/><BR/>"...then what you see is temporary.” Maybe, what you saw is still there to be seen. Just look harder.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254788636910126354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12180121.post-48305560984601269772008-08-09T20:26:00.000-04:002008-08-09T20:26:00.000-04:00You hit the nail right on the head when you said, ...You hit the nail right on the head when you said, "What we see is sometimes just what we want to see.
