* when people make a good friend or fall in love with a delightful person, their addiction to unhappiness can often spoil the pleasure to be had in the relationship by causing them to overlook the other's strengths and overemphasize the other's weaknesses.


Boy... is this something to think about. Why is it when I think I HAVE grown, and surely I don't need to grow anymore, is something ELSE pointed out?? Wow, was I truly addited to unhappiness? Did I want to control things to that extent? Scary.


Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
