What IF....????

View More Posts Ignore
What if someone ever told me I would get married, to have a divorce so I would lern to truly love myself? I would probably think they were nuts.

What if someone said they loved me and in the name of love they would erase who I am so I would get my ground shaken to slowly learn to revuild a solid ground from within? I would think they don't wish me well.

What if someone said that like a butterfly needs to emerge from a cocoom, that divorce would be the hardest and most wonderful transformation I could ever experience in my life? I would think life is too short for that.

What if someone said humans need to experience a great loss to be great people, fuller in essence than ever, and experience life in its fullest from a much deeper level? I would think they are not smelling enough flowers along their path.

Looking back, I would most certainly not want to go back to coccoon and wish I was eternally a butterfly. But we can't really know what it would feel like to be a butterfly if we had not been wishing for that from a suppressed place and made the choice to enjoy each baby step to get to really enjoy life in all accounts. Gotta have nothing to loose and no fears to truly enjoy life.

What are your WHAT IFs?

" Awwww, nice..that was NICE!!! Thanks

What if we were not raised to get married and fullfill society's profecy for girs, and instead we just had in mind enjoying every minute and every experience in our lives?

What if nobody owned anyone, and we just enjoyed each other company's for as long as it lasted?

What if having kids was som important to society that a mother would have the highest salary and prestige?

What if we understood the fact that we come alone into this world with nothing and go the same way, and that we are really meant to be alone and not in relationships? That relationships would be purely hanging out and wasting time having some good moments?

What if we understood HAPPINESS is within, and just a few HAPPY MOMENTS are external to us, but very precious just for what they are, not for what is gone? "
