I am by no means saying you're unlikable. I don't know you, and I have a hunch that you and I could discuss some doosies.

But what you call misplaced trust in luck or karma, on several others' threads now, I call faith and hope. And I see nothing wrong, or worthy of being called out, with having faith or hope. To me, faith and hope are the seeds of love. And who couldn't use a little more of that?


I will just say this, I have faith in ME, because that is the only person that I have any control over. I do not consider faith and hope the seeds of love, I think dedication and committment are, faith and hope are 2 misguided emotions, point being, faith and hope is what usually causes spouses to walk away, they have faith and hope in the OP whom they have took up with. Dedication and committment is what keeps relationships together through tough times.
