Here’s what I know. When I “make fun” of other people with a sarcasm that criticizes, it is only done with an effort to build up myself; my ego self.

Marriage. The word by itself has no meaning, it is absolutely meaningless. Without an interpretation from the mind of man, it might as well be considered squiggly lines on a piece of paper.

In all our interactions with others, there is a core purpose to help us to understand ourselves more fully. In all things, there is a relationship; to understand this connection is to understand who you truly are.

My heart beats compassionately for those in troubled relationships. I can see your emotion runs deep, it hurts as if the highest self has been torn abruptly. With all that I could possibly say, - continue a path that becomes more focused on what you can do rather than what you cannot do.

I wonder if the enormous amount of trust we place in others to contribute to our lives, has anything to do with our ignorance towards what truly goes on in the world. Maybe consequently, we spend more time trying to be entertained rather than seeking our own wisdom and knowledge.

Your growth, is not meant to exceed the growth of your neighbor, but is simply meant to expand with goodness within your own uniqueness.
