Life's Knowledge

In My Opinion ..........

Is there any true value to all of these saying that I have writen.
They are a reflection of the many experiences of my life.
If there is no wisdom within them, then I have learned nothing.

In My Opinion ..........

I live ! While there is life there is always some hope.

In My Opinion ..........

Lonliness is like a cancer of the heart. It can eat away at you until there is nothing left.

In My Opinion ..........

When you are young, you can feel the heat of passion so very strongly, but it is not until you become older and more experienced that you can truly understand the true depths that love can achieve.

In My Opinion ..........

I try to be a gentleman, but I know that I am a gentle man.
The first is how I act while the second is who I am. I want to be both.

In My Opinion ..........

There is no comfort to be found in an empty pair of arms. The comfort comes in filling them.

In My Opinion ..........

Do not promise what you can not deliver. Always deliver what you promise.

In My Opinion ..........

Do men understand woman? Do women understand men? Are we meant to ?
These are interesting questions. Is there anyone who truely knows the answers?

In My Opinion ..........

Do you remember the blind faith that you had with your first love? It was to be eternal and it was not even posible for it to be any other way. The day that this blind faith was shattered was the day that I lost my ability to have a blind faith in anything else. Now I find that I have many more questions than answers.

I wish that I could feel that faith again, if even for just a minute.

In My Opinion ..........

"For better or for worse, " until death do us part". The average marriage today lasts about three years.
So, ................ Who died ?

In My Opinion ..........

Patience is a virtue, especially when you do not have any.

In My Opinion ..........

Learn how to " let go". Often a relationship just does not work out.
Do not try to cling to something that is no longer there.
It has taken me many years to finally understand this.

In My Opinion ..........

I am a flawed man, but it is these flaws that create maturity and character.

In My Opinion ..........

Being patient is is a virtue, but being too patient will never
get you to where you want to go.

Sometimes you just have to make a stand and go with it.

In My Opinion ..........

A healthy relationship is not a part time job.

In My Opinion ..........

During my life, I have aquired a great deal of widom to offer to my children. This includes the wisdom to know that they will have to learn the lessons of life through their own experiences, just as we all had too.

In My Opinion ..........

By the time that you are old enough to know better, it is too late. You have already made the mistakes.

In My Opinion ..........

Try not to chuckle too loudly the first time that you witness your child struggling with their own two-year old.
You have just learned that there ' is ' justice in the world after all.

In My Opinion ..........

Life will very seldom turn out as you expect it to. Always be ready for the unexpected, because the unexpected will surely happen. Accept the inevitable, but prepare for the rest.

In My Opinion ..........

Our society has always labeled men as the provider and woman as the care giver. One thing that I have learned is that in nature, with none of the trapings of civilazation, that the mans roll is not to be the provider, but it is to be the protector, the defender of his family. In reality the women provided most of the food with fruits and grains, ect. The meat that the man brought home was actually a small portion of the total diet. On a purely instinctive basis a man needed to be willing to stand his ground, even to his death, to insure that his woman and children would survive. This is not a necessary behavior pattern in today's world, but the need is a hardwired part of a male brain. This is what is refered to today a "the male ego". Ladies, try to understand this in your man. Sometime he will not back down from a confrontation because he emotionally can not do it, even when he knows intellectually that it is a stupid thing to do. This is just the way that nature has made us. If you ever find yourself in this kind of situation with your man, never, ever tell him that his only choice is to walk away or you will leave him. If he truely loves you, he will walk away. Now, he has lost his self-respect and you have emotional castrated him. He walked away for you, but he will never again be the man that he was before.

In My Opinion ..........

As I have matured through the years, I have definately become an "alpha" type male. I have a very dominate personality. This is not to be confused with having a dominating personality. I do not need nor desire to dominate or control all of the people around me. It is just that I can not accept anyone else trying to dominate me. I tell my children that I am like a big "silver back" gorilla. He is the uncontested ruler of his domain, but he has no need to dominate those around him because they all recognize his status as the head of the family group.

In My Opinion ..........

There is a difference between taking a chance and taking a risk.
You will never win unless you get into the game.

In My Opinion ..........

Life has a funny way of suddenly turning complicated.
