Singled out...
If love conquers all...then conquer yourself and rule the world!
-The Puppet Master
Isn’t it great to have someone else?
Think of waking up in the morning to see your loved one’s face as they sleep at peace. It gives us a sense of warmth, of love that is being the reflection of our own emotion.
Think of the beautiful smile of that other half, and how it has(and continues to) brightened your many days and the laughter many nights.
Think of that calming touch of that someone who has dispelled all fears with but a single caress.
Think of the watery eyes of our loved one when they gaze at our own unable to hide their hurting, and think of how you can’t help it but disarm yourself when you love that someone’s eyes.
Isn’t it great to have someone else?
Someone asked me today: How can you be single? There must be something very wrong with you…
To many, being alone is a dreadful nightmare.
Being alone is not, but can definitely be…
Why is being single so negative? Or better…why does it seem so?
As a human race, our goal in life is to be fruitful and reproduce, to be successful, and to be with someone. It is just because we are misdirected.
In that desperation we seek others that have their own ‘baggage’ of problems, and we seek to ‘love through helping others’ rather than ‘helping others though love’.
Our goal should be to love ourselves, to be happy with ourselves.
That will stop us from looking in someone else for that which we are lacking. We will truly be able to fall in love, and find that someone who instead of ‘completing us’ will ‘complement us’.
Lesson learned: Isn’t it great to have someone else? It certainly is, when that someone is worth it…

Judging others as inferior because they aren't our clones places ourselves as the standard of "rightness." There's just too much amazing diversity in this world for one kind of philosophy, behavior or lifestyle. And how boring would that be if everyone was the identical to their neighbor.
My grandmother married a terrific man who died at age 36. She spent the next 40 years contentedly by herself. Who are we to say that she or anyone else needs a partner to be fulfilled?
You are so right on with this blog. We can only rely on ourselves for our own happiness. When we think we need someone else for that, we delude ourselves and surrender personal power. That being said, a great partner helps bring out the best in me... and the kisses ain't bad either.
