All my wisdoms

All my wisdoms in a nutshell

If I was a man I wouldn’t have a bra and a potato chip would not fall down there...

women share confidences, men share conquests

love is being willing to love

men like men because they are allowed to fart in the same room with each other

the only way to get somewhere is to leave expectations behind and start walking

love is counting up the ways u love someone and remembering this when you get mad at them.

war is hitting the enemy from behind instead of in front where they have a chance to fight

war is not fair, but the human can think of numerous reasons why there are no other options.

love is listening to others tell their story and then saying thats the most wonderful thing I’ve heard all day even if it’s not.

love is something to guard in the heart although it needs no defense to survive.

the world deserves peace even if it doesn’t ask for peace.

they said love is never having to say you’re sorry but if we don’t apologize we can’t do better next time.

love looks for whats right, not for whats wrong, it makes its house on what is going right.

love is letting another be whoever they are in the moment without butting in or judging them as wrong. Then when they are all through explaining who they are to you, you nod your head and say, I was right about you all this time. then if they start explaining who they think u r, you go shopping at Walmart and tell them you’ll see them later.

or, you do plan B: you begin to remember all the reasons you loved them from the start and check to see if those reasons are still there. Usually, they are.

I wonder if divorce lawyers ever get divorced? They’ve had so much practice, I wonder if they practice what they preach?

One pays to get married, and pays to get a divorce, think of all that money I could take to Walmart...

Committments are done with paperwork, but they should be done on your knees with a prayer instead.

that which u give to god is well taken care of and so it is that no problem is too big for spirit to handle, either in love or war.

Hi Laffingrain, you are in a pensive mood today! I think you have had some trying men in your life...

If I was a man I wouldn’t have a bra and a potato chip would not fall down there...


well that's one reason to be thankful for being a man then I guess  Wink

women share confidences, men share conquests


hmm, that's a little bit stereotyping of you LR! I don't think it really describes most of my male friends/relatives, but then maybe I don't hang our with this kind of man. I do agree though that quite often men don;t share feelings/confidences etc enough, and talk about superficialities too much, but I also think that can apply to humans generally. On the other hand I guess there's a time and place and it would be emotionally exhausting if you went round talking about your deepest feelings all the time.

love is being willing to love


makes sense

men like men because they are allowed to fart in the same room with each other


hmm, I've come across the occasional guy like that, but it's a bit tiresome. I guess though in a broader sense men traditionally feel they should act more refined in female company than they might with male friends, in terms of what they say and do. I guess that also works from the female point of view though too to an extent.

the only way to get somewhere is to leave expectations behind and start walking


seems good advice - as in more action, less theory and procrastinating?

love is counting up the ways u love someone and remembering this when you get mad at them.


yeah, everyone should do that. And - aside from people you really love - even with rather unloveable people you can often find some sympathetic side to them if you try


love is listening to others tell their story and then saying thats the most wonderful thing I’ve heard all day even if it’s not.


agree with first part, and I guess it's generally best not to hurt people's feelings, so the odd white lie doesn't hurt

they said love is never having to say you’re sorry but if we don’t apologize we can’t do better next time.


I think you should always say sorry if you feel bad about something. It's good to clear the air

love looks for whats right, not for whats wrong, it makes its house on what is going right


yes. nothing and no none are ever "perfect", and there's no use dwelling on the bad bits too much.

love is letting another be whoever they are in the moment without butting in or judging them as wrong. Then when they are all through explaining who they are to you, you nod your head and say, I was right about you all this time. then if they start explaining who they think u r, you go shopping at Walmart and tell them you’ll see them later.

Smiley

I wonder if divorce lawyers ever get divorced? They’ve had so much practice, I wonder if they practice what they preach?


What do you mean - that they preach that getting divorced is fine? You'd think they would avoid it as they know what a painful thing it can be... but maybe not, I mean lots of doctors smoke and not all priests are models of virtue

One pays to get married, and pays to get a divorce, think of all that money I could take to Walmart...


Roll Eyes yes, if only we knew beforehand, I suppose

Committments are done with paperwork, but they should be done on your knees with a prayer instead.


yes, in an ideal world. but maybe both would be nice

that which u give to god is well taken care of and so it is that no problem is too big for spirit to handle, either in love or war.


maybe, but not everyone copes with life - is it just that they are not putting enough trust in God?

(PS I'm not very interested in war. can't believe humans are so stupid as to still be having them, but I realise sometimes leaders have hard decisions to make. I mean going to war against someone like Hitler was a reasonable idea I guess)

That's the most wonderful story I've heard all day!!   Grin

In my past lives-- when I was a man--- I wasn't too nice to the ladies.  In one past life (this is MY belief--- ) I was an African man, very small in stature and I remember kicking my wife.  Not too nice.  In another past life (remember-- this is what I envisioned during a meditation, so it's my belief) I was a Roman soldier after the death of Christ and I had sex with any woman, any time, any where and didn't concern myself about the consequences that I left behind with those women. I never supported any family.  Again--- not too nice a man.  Thererfore---- may be some truth in what you say!??  Undecided

u know cat u r a breath of fresh air..u really are! I was just thinking about Dead Preacher guy. he really doesn't like the sexual revolution at all. he thinks still that sex and love should be the same thing, and sacred. then he remembers when people had manners, he goes on and on about whats wrong with society today then he goes and gets himself reborn as a hippie...go figure! but he never liked what he was looking at although he could see what they were trying to change.

No, you are not full of it! Smiley Some of it definitely sounds good and it is silly of me to take the jokey bits so seriously! I should lighten up!

Someone once gave me some advice on getting married -

'Cut out the middle man; find someone you hate and buy them a house.'

As I sit on the edge of my bed eating crackers and chips I dare not tell you where the chips are falling.

But if you were a man perhaps you could forgo wearing skivvies altogether. Smiley

Hmmm - sounds like some of past girl friends ... letting the chips fall where they may.

So that's why men have beer bellies. To stop their chips from falling to the floor or to whatever the heck Dave is talking about.

And here I had been thinking that to develop a beer belly was a crumby activity - evidently quite the reverse. - I guess that saltines and navel lint are in.

LOL!  It must be something in the air - on another board I read, some guy just posted (hopefully facetiously) that he uses his belly button to fill with salt to dip his hard boiled eggs in!

Somethin' going around, I tell ya...
