Is it possible love someboy just the way they are?

babyeve @babyeve (1048) • Seychelles 31 Jan 13

I don't think so. You know why? Because we are all different in so many ways. We can compromise though, but things will never be perfect. In fairy tales and movies it looks as if it is possible. But just try to do it yourself and...

tassantos7 I think it all depends on how one views or defines love, and how to love. Yes, I do agree that the fairy tales we are all made to be aware of are quite overrated, if not very overrated. This reality has hardships, mind boggling and soul tearing challenges that...

tassantos7 I totally agree with you. We might be living the wrong way now, but nothing will change by itself. We have to turn around.

Is the Philippines still worth dying for?

bulastika @bulastika (5966) • Philippines 27 Jan 13

Its seems for the last 40 years the Philippines suddenly becoming a laughing stock of Asia and the world. Just imagine that in year 1970's we are second only to Japan in Asia in term of economy and second also to Japan in term of...

tassantos7 Anything or anyone who still has a hint of good and change in it/him/her should never been given up on. I think we have disintegrated, yes, in similar times to Rizal's and all the past heroes but in a more complicated manner. Still these few number of people...

What type of person are you?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 26 Jan 13

Some people would rather spend their time with animals than people. Are you more of an animal person than a people person? My husband would prefer to spend time with animals than people. Animals can be gentle,caring, and not...

tassantos7 Sometimes, it is really comforting to just not be around any people. To be free from prejudice and all that...yes, you're right animals don't have that same kind of judgmental behavior. But it's worse not to associate with others (human). Not facing reality...

There could be several reasons for a relationship to fail...

vijayanths @vijayanths (7877) • India 27 Jan 13

There is a huge increase in breaking up of love relationships worldwide. There could be several reasons such as infidelity, not showing enough love, not caring enough, economic issues, not accepting the shortcomings of the...

tassantos7 I agree with you. But there comes a point that it's no longer just "ego" When we have been abused so bad, to not end that relationship would mean erasing any self-respect and any relative sense of justice we should have.

Is bringing up old discussions a bad thing?

Nursefrai06 @Nursefrai06 (2498) • Penrith, Australia 26 Jan 13

Sometimes I run out of discussions that interest me so I go back to old discussions some dating 6-7 years back and find something that I can relate to. I don't want to re use the idea and make a new discussion about it because its...

tassantos7 I don't get annoyed, especially if it's a very good topic to talk about. I don't think good stuff ever gets old. I do get annoyed with issues that have already been clear-cut resolved but some people just won't give it a rest and twist words of others.

Forgotten love..

vanny @vandana7 (100617) • India 26 Jan 13

So when you hold the baby ...your heart is only filled with love and caring..you are not really jealous about how good the child looks, how good the child wears, all you can feel is love, love, love... Even cleaning up the poo...

tassantos7 Indeed it is very well forgotten, but I don't think it is forever erased. When we forget, we just don't realized that something we forgot was just beside us all along. Remembering restores the bond as if nothing had changed. I had a part in raising a little...

What do you do when you can't sleep?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 23 Jan 13

How do you cope with depression?

bunnystarr @bunnystarr (160) • Philippines 23 Jan 13

tassantos7 Try talking to your parents, you know in an intimate yet casual manner. Talk to them, ask them how was their day, what'd they do, etc. It's important to know why they treat you the way they do. Having closure about these things is the only way to move forward...

tassantos7 When there's no other choice and it is really critical to get to my destination (i.e. a matter between life and death) I'd have to consider it. On the other hand, if there's an option, then always choose the better one; there'd be no reason not to.

tassantos7 Yes reading is a leisure but sadly a taken-for-granted-activity these days. There's a lot of history that gets distorted in the media, but you can scrutinize these things once you get reading. It's true that reading can liven one's imagination. But it can't...

Love Without Trust

tassantos7 I don't think any relationship can survive without trust. Even an inkling of trust MUST be there. It's the root of respect, if not love- and as long as respect exist and the partners wish to stay together it'll survive and recover, GOD willing. However, I...
