Hi Briana Charles Oshiro Anu and all, What a cold-to-the-bone statement you gave, 'The closer we live,the more distant we become!'
Tell me what's the difference between 'attachment' and 'commitment' according to buddhism,Briana?;) The statement,'Everything happens for a reason.' also creates some controversies,Oshiro.;) Some things in life don't happen for a reason,but it's up to us to turn the twists and turns for the better for our own good and for those who are dear to us... I do believe in the theory of cause and effect instead. Whatever we say or do leads to a consequence,be it positive or negative. Am I a good mother?LOL I have no idea what a good mother is... I only know that history can't repeat itself and that's why we are called human,isn't it?;) Anu and Charles,one can't be wary of giving love to other humans because one is bound to be hurt or won't be loved back... All you need to do is to be out there to try and try again.No one can teach you the secret of love or life if you don't exercise it yourself! Theories are just theories.Nothing teaches you better than doing it yourself.;) Pleasant day to you and the rest!
