Agree or Disagree?

I mostly agree. I think emotional immaturity is a large part of it. Some people are so lacking, they can't sustain it. They have little bravery and fortitude. Emotionally stunted and/or selfishness. To keep pouring our love into them, is like drops in a barren desert.

That is often dependant on the direction of the disrespect.

Ask who can be more disrespectful?

The majority disrespecting of a single person, or even the minority. Or the individual, or minority, disrespecting of the majority?

And why should a single person, or minority, not be disrespecting, if the majority is as well disrespecting?

Think of any controversial subject and apply those situations. It could be anything.

Not wearing a veil can be considered disrespectful, as a example. In both directions at the same time.

I tend to side with the minority over the majority. That to me is respect. The majority can be a million times louder disrespectful. And therefore that much more hurtful.

I could give a million different examples and it would make no difference. The majority is always louder. Yet are they truly right?

Go to Iran if you think otherwise, however. It's not the police, nor the government, that will speak the loudest.

I think selfishness has become such a norm that nobody bothers much about this truth. I am sure it is behind a lot of isolation and superficial relationships.

What you say is obviously true, but life doesn’t always follow that pattern. From your seat, I’d question the sanity of staying on a sinking ship. It’s a waste of your love and personal loyalty.

It’s a big world. Someone would kill to be the recipient of your love, sincerity and empathy. There’s more than one soulmate in life.

You’re never too old. 🙏🏻❤️

Worrying what happens to the person that doesn’t deserve your love is irrelevant. You’re just absorbing negative energy. All that does is harm your future.

Emotional maturity, caring, empathy, selflessness and kindness are keys to a good relationship. However, they’re not typically innate skills. So much is learned and environmental. Some, and often men (though not exclusively), simply aren’t capable. They may learn. They may not.

Introspection isn’t a medicine often taken by the egocentric or narcissistic. Sometimes you just need to forgive and move on.

Carrying their burden is NEVER worth it.

I have a hard time not helping people. It may not be the help they seek, but it's usually help that could lead them out of the situation they are in. Or offer a reprieve from it.

Given that the person was of sound mind, then yes, I agree. I'm sure that there are a thousand what-ifs, but generally speaking, you reap what you sow.

Your 100% right
My often said

Fool me once
Shame on you
Fool me twice
Shame on me ♥️

Depends upon the connection. If it is family, then a little more forgiveness is warranted. Or as a psychologist once advised my wife over struggles with her domineering mother: "you don't have to like her, but you do have to love her."

I agree with you. I hope you are doing well. 🤗

Been on both ends hard too day .

Hmm I’m not sure because I’ve seen suffering on the faces of those who hurt me and I never enjoyed it … I pitied them deeply.

I actually felt sorry for them.

Their undoing is ultimately on their conscience and they have to live with it to the very end… they’re their own worst enemy in that sense. Fools.

How is this controversial?

I think bad people deserve bad outcomes.
