interesting read.

realize fellow travelers that much of the advice we hear here comes from a looooooooooong line, a long history of self-help.

and there are nuggets of truth among the crap... a few baubles of pearls among the swine. but we must choose carefully, critically, with discernment.

because primarily, these things are devices meant to bring wealth to one primary beneficiary.... the author!

truly, it is odd that i keep going back to hollywood as the source of great profound wisdom but here it is again, all the more relevant - here from the princess bride:

"life is pain. those who tell you different are trying to sell you something."

Life is adventure, excitement, and enjoyable to me. There is pain involved, but if life were simply pain humans would have committed suicide long before any of us were born.

Life is as good as you make it.

If you attitude is "life is pain" then you will be depressed and sad and just go kill yourself.

I ENJOY my life!

Isn't that the emo creed?

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.
