Opposites attract.
Whoever came up with the saying “opposites attract” clearly wasn’t with the person long enough to really get a feel for who they really are. The basic foundations of any relationship will absolutely crumble to dust if there are too many differences. The initial attraction may be there, but in the end the same reason the two people were attracted to each other in the first place will be the same reason why they push apart. Never hide who you really are. I’m not saying that you need to find a clone. We choose friends who are like us because of the similar thinking and interests. We don’t normally look for people exactly like us when we are looking for a mate, most of the times it’s looking for the part of yourself that you’ve always needed and wanted. This works for the most part, but in the end just try and find happiness in whatever form it may be in. It may take a few tries to really realize what it is exactly that you are looking for. When you find it, make sure you don’t let it go.
The same goes for the saying “money isn’t everything”. Well have you ever tried living without it? We are forced as humans living how and where we do to rely on money to some degree. Why is it that relatives always fight over money or belongings of a person who has passed away? Is it because they want a part of that person or is it more along the lines of human greed. If nothing was setup like a will when someone passes away there are always scavengers looking to get whatever they can. Families break up over deaths but not because the person is gone, more because the fighting that starts over the deceased person’s belongings. People are killed every day over minimal amounts of money. Is it really easier to live without it? Desperate people do desperate things as the saying goes.
Love isn’t everything either and it can be a very harsh and cold existence out there without it. Whoever came up with the saying “follow your heart” has never had it broken before. It can be one of the most disgusting feelings in the entire world. Those dark and empty feelings that eat away at your soul don’t normally just go away. Repeated heartache will in the end kill you due to the depression that comes along with it. The best way to deal with it is not to embrace the cold, but rather look for the light. Try not to dwell on the pain. Try instead to filter out the pain by doing something else and putting your head someplace else for a little while. It’s not something you should do for a long time, but rather something that should help deal with the short term chaos. The faster you get the pain out of your head, the faster you should heal. Why is it that people put up with abuse? Is it because they’ve come to learn to accept it? There is so much better out there for many people who will never know because they feel like they are trapped. You are only trapped in your head. There is always a way out one way or another.
