Hi folks, good tread, Dobson in one of his books says you need to build a relationship on authentic love, or otherwise it won’t stand the test of time. Respect always precedes love (authentic love).
Thru my life I have experienced too many close family members and friends concealing their true feelings and also who and what they really are (inside).
You see from when I was very young my mother sometimes hid her true feelings from us kids. But she didn’t fool me, and I new something was wrong (most families that I knew learned not to talk about their true feelings).
Which brings me to popular music, which speaks to my innermost being (soul). So I’ll let my music do the talking.
The Osmonds ‘Love me for a reason’ 1974 (When I was 15 years old)
‘Don’t love me for fun girl let me be the one girl love me for a reason let that reason be love
I’m just a little old fashioned It takes more than a physical attraction My initial reaction is Honey give me love not a facsimile of ‘.
David Bowie ‘Changes’ 1971 (I first heard this in 1975)
‘Still don’t know what I was waiting for And my time was running wild In a million dead-end streets And every time I thought I’d got it made It seems the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I’ve never caught a glimpse How the others must see the faker I’m much too fast to take that test’.
Rod Stewart ‘The killing of Georgie’ part 1 1976
‘Georgie’s life ended there But I ask who really cares George once said to me in a quote He said never wait or hesitate Get in kid before it’s to late You may never get another chance Cos youth’s a mask but they don’t last Live it long and live it fast Georgie was a friend of mine Oh yeah'
The Commoredores ‘Easy’ 1977
‘Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?’ I’ve paid my dues to make it Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be I’m not happy when I try to fake it oh no’
