Gwyneth Paltrow has just been quoted as saying: "I still ‘respect and admire’ those who have cheated on their husbands and wives." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2034511/Gwyneth-Paltow-admires-love-cheat-friends.html

More Human Strangeness
We make rules that are virtually impossible to abide by, then feel guilty/get punished when we allow ourselves to do what is natural. Masochistic? A religious thing?

Many studies have shown that people getting married – brides especially – know at the time it is not the right thing for them. Security?
Clever thing we men have tried to set up – make it difficult for women to be equally
self-reliant - so we can be in control. Or so we thought!

I have mentioned this before. What is this thing about marriage, and sex?
Have you really, really thought about it? What it is about?

One argument is that it is for the children. Read the news lately? Oh boy – that argument does not have much support does it – more youth violence than ever.

---------------------------------------------

It has been mentioned that I do not answer ‘personal’ things so much. True.
One thing is – I couldn’t possibly answer everything even if I wanted to.
(I do often incorporate references in some of the more general things I write.)

Second thing – I have almost certainly answered it before.
(There is the possibility of someone getting what I have written collated into subjects.
A book may evolve as well.)

Third thing. The way I am seeing things, it is no longer appropriate to focus on the personal. Something very big is taking place on the planet, and it needs our energy.

All a matter of perspective? I recently watched a documentary of interviews with people who survived being in the destruction of the Twin Towers. Amazing stories of what went on in their minds when they thought they were going to die. One man who worked in an office there, debris falling around him all the time, he went back into the building many times - and brought out one hundred injured people.
Bigger perspective than the personal?

It happens so often – we are focussed on some little incident – that seems huge in our minds – until something bigger happens to shake us up and put things more into perspective. Spend even just a little time in one of the ravaged countries and you will very soon realise this.
