What single lesson did life teach you this far?

@Picklebobble2 Aren't we all supposed to rely on each other? Otherwise it doesn't make sense to exist in the manner that we're born.

@val70 Much of the time it doesn't work though does it.
And when that happens you have to find a compromise for the path of damage limitations.

@Picklebobble2 Isn't it rather fustration that you anxions about? No, we don't get to have everything but there is still free will. If you don't like the norm be abnormal

@val70 Evidently your experiences in life are vastly different from mine.

@Picklebobble2 It will seem so, and it's definitely so when one ties oneself down like that

@val70 I'm not wanting anyone to come to my 'rescue', I'm simply pointing out other people often over-complicate already fractious situations needlessly due to their own wants and needs.

@Picklebobble2 There always must be hope :)

@val70 I often think hope is what gets you into trouble.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...
And now there abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
