serial muse Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 ...and saw these crappy relationships for what they really were, and not what we wished they had been, what would happen??? The force of energy suddenly released into the universe would have to do something pretty powerful. I think. -Would we reverse the Earth's magnetic polarity? -Would the collective sigh of angst spawn a massive perpetual hurricane that sweeps around the planet like Jupiter's Giant Red Spot? -Would the angels weep? -Would the dead rise from their graves? -Would dogs and cats live together = mass hysteria? -Would Chuck Norris get beaten in a fight? -Would we create cold fusion? -Would we finally switch over to dollar coins here in the U.S. once and for all? -Would my watch spontaneously start working again? Just wondering. Feeling bitter today.
CaliGuy Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 We'd have self-respect That's the problem. We don't respect ourselves. If we did, we'd have healthy boundaries and end bad relationships before we got in too deep and before they got worse. Self-respect takes time to develop but once you have it, you won't find yourself in wishing anything. You'd be in a healthy relationship

Author serial muse Posted March 20, 2006 Author Posted March 20, 2006 Oh grumble, grumble, and harrumph. I just tapped my watch, and it started working. I think it means something. A glimmer of hope?
Author serial muse Posted March 20, 2006 Author Posted March 20, 2006 Could it just need winding? Oh, lordy. Does it ever!
In Sync Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Only now I wonder why with our ex's we did we wear blinders but with other people we didn't. Why is it that with some people if they tried the same bs our ex's we'd walk away and with them we didn't??? Why did we lavish then with certain magical powers...ooooo....Any takers on that question?

Because they were acting like a mirror. We conferred magical powers, or sunlight, or what-have-you on the exes, so they could reflect it brightly back onto us. Yay! It's harder to see the light when it's coming from inside you. Light reflected back at you is easier to see, I guess. And bask in. So the power we gave them was simply the power to reflect ourselves to ourselves. And that's some pretty impressive power to hand over to somebody. Oooh, I'm getting all metaphysical and deep. I hear the angels weeping. 1
In Sync Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 So where did they get that damn mirror, I bet my ex borrowed his from Lucifer.

It's as if we treat them as omnipotent and we do things beyond the norm of our regular thinking to please someone we feel is something special ....??? Good question.

Good question. Yes, exactly, but there was there had to be point where we made a decision that with this one I'll accept their bs behavior and on top still see them as "omnipotent." Yet if someone today or even a regular friend had behaved like my ex, I'd have walk and would not think twice about cutting them out. So why did I choose to wear the blinders...hmmmm?
