Life's a bitch. And damn! Life's too short. You gotta love life. And you gotta love your life. Because no one else will. Be good to others. But be better to yourself.

Togetherness
"We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindness, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness" -- Ellen Goodman.
Oh Witchy... so true. See, I told you that I was no expert when I gave you my two cents worth in my previous posting. :) Forgiveness and gratefulness certainly plays a huge role. It is nice to read quotes like this to give us a little perspective in our lives.
JT, My dearest JT... your two cents' worth was really worth a million dollars! It was a pearl of a wisdom. thank you for that. In fact, i took your views very seriously. And I do believe you are very right. This is only another perspective. that is also wise and enriching. no more no less.
Ah, this one goes straight to the heart. How true, how accurate. The chemistry will loose its bubbles in time to come. It takes a lot more than a chemistry for two people to be together.
In my 32 years of living, I still havent found the right elements to produce faultless love. Personally, I am banking on gratefulness.
elviza: yeah... thank god for that element. i have lived longer than you have, my dear elviza and i am still searching for the magical mix. and i am a witch to boot. when i do find the right brew, i mean broo.... i will let you have it...
Hello Ms Witch SB, I like your blog. Its full of truth and emotion. I'm also Anthonio (with a H) and every time his name is mentioned in your post, I ask if I'm like that. There's a lot of truth in what you say and all the comments that came in as well. But I try to view things from a different perspective if possible. But that does not mean I approve of what master Antonio and those like him do. But if guys are cheating on their mates, gfriends and we vent all our anger and disapproval on his behaviour, can we imagine the heartbreak and ache a man is going through if his mate, gfriend is doing the same? Afterall, if a man is two-timing his mate, he is probably two-timing with a woman. If that woman is single, different story. What if she's married or attached. We do know of woman who are in this kind of situation as well. But men being men, they probably will never say anything about it if possible. Probably the macho part of him doesn't allow it. My point is, what and how you feel about men being dishonest, unfaithful etc, woman can be just as bad. But generally we tend to sympatise with the woman and curse the man. Please disagree if you must. Just my opinion and it may not be the best.
I think it works both ways. When a woman is unfaithful to her man, it is just as bad. But, i would not judge any man or woman for whatever situation he or she is in. Because, we do no know what is going on between them and their spouse/partner.
When I write about Antonio, it's about me and him. I will not even begin to make a judgement or an assessment of anyone else's situation.
I will not generalise either. Altho I have been guilty of that. But then, it's because stastically, a lot more of my guy friends cheat on their wives/girlfriends than the number of my girl friends who cheat on their partners. Still, it is not an accurate assessment, perhaps because I have more guy friends than girl friends.
Okay. So this is a cliche but I am going to say it anyway -- been there, done that.
So, nothing scares me. Nothing fazes me. Except,(drats, now I have to admit it) -- the thought of meeting my Maker, losing my loved ones, and the one I love..

Stand-up philosopher,
I think it works both ways. When a woman is unfaithful to her man, it is just as bad.

Anyway, thank you, SUP, for visiting.
Take care.
