Hello my most favorite in the world Kiwi, has the universe delivered anything entertaining today for your amusement? I have the day off and I will spend it creating and reading.
I google imaged the places you referenced a couple pages back, they look beautiful. If I ever make it to Australia, I will make sure I travel through New Zealand. I would love see the stars of the southern sky for the first time with you.
I have decided to maintain a higher state of vigilance in respect to three issues in my current evolution, Codependency, self love and strength of character. If I can get better footing in these three aspects of my life my path would not seem so arduous.
I heard a movie quote and it gave me pause. I am not sure if it is true. I would like to get your thoughts on it.
"Inner beauty's the easiest thing in the world to see when you're looking for it... The brain sees what the heart wants it to feel."
I believe the first line is true. Do you believe the second line is true? If this is true, it is a double edged sword. It would explain why we fall in love and why it can change. What do you think? Is it emotion transformed into thought? Do you think it can work the other way also? I don't know what to think. I guess I can't see the forest because the trees block my view.
I’m not sure if I am the right person to answer any of the above Mu. I am think I am also in the forest.
Mu you do know this quote is from a film called Shallow Hal? Lol
I don’t disagree with the first sentence. I guess I have a fundamental belief that most human beings see the beauty in others. I think there are few truly shallow people who are only interested in skin deep. I also think that outer or inner beauty is well, particular. I don’t believe that you can be beautiful to everyone. I guess that is where “when you are looking for it” comes into it. Everyone sees beauty where they believe they can find it. Potentially that means that some people find it at only a skin deep level. And think that this has to be ok.
I have never been a skin deep person, my life has required me to see beyond what is on the outer. The hypocrisy I would have felt to not see others would have been overwhelming and shaming for me. I have relied my entire life on the trust that the world would see beyond the me that wasn’t my weight. Don’t get me wrong, at times in my life I have felt that having my “inner beauty” seen has felt like the consolation prize, like being called the girl with the great personality, or the smart one, or she’s really funny. I have to say though that it is also likely that my experience of seeing people in their fullness means I that I have met some very cool and amazing people. It means that I met Mr Ex, wheelchair and all.
With regard to the second bit of the quote “The brain sees what the heart wants to feel”.
Here is something in response “ If you want to know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it starts to wander” .
Mu, I’m not sure this is doubled edged sword, I think this is the joy of life. I am a romantic soul at my very heart, and falling in love will never be an exercise in rationality, as is falling out of love with someone. I absolutely know when I meet someone if I can fall in love with them. I met someone a few months ago and have been seeing him on and off for the last few months, and I know that I could fall madly, deeply and truly head over heels for him. But what stops me from doing so. It isn’t returned. My feelings for him are unrequited. The saddest of all loves. But it would seem an accepted part of life. I currently have a very full awareness of his lack of feeling in return. Do my thoughts to myself change my what heart feels, absolutely not. But my thoughts do dictate how much further I invest him. I am slowly turning the feelings I feel for him as I accept more and more that he does not feel the same way about me. Over time, these feelings will dwindle, and then there will be a time, when my heart won’t hiccup at the mere thought of him. Mu, I am sure that none of the above has answered any of your questions.
Can I ask Mu, why this quote has resonated with you.
