I agree completely. But if life were that simple, everyone would be happy. Wouldn't that just be fab?!
I do have to say tho, while you were eating your lunch, did you ever give a thought to why people are struggling? And why people stay with these people? It's because people get caught up in the drama of the highs and lows. They can't see the wood for the trees as have been mucked around so much. I won't even say really that its love for most people, its more like an addiction, or that the self-esteem has been beaten so much that there is little of the sparky person left. This happens, its real. I've always been such a strong person, until I met someone who did this to me. I thought I could make him happy and be a better person. Ha. I learned the hard way (though not as hard as some poor souls) that this is not possible. But with hindsight it made me understand why others do what I did, and put up with the rubbish. Until then I never understood why my friends stayed with the wrong people. Its strange behaviour from seemingly altogether people for sure, but it really can creep up on you. I will never condemn a person for being in a bad relationship again, all I will do is try and get them to see what's really happening, as kindly as I can because I've been there too. Which I think to be honest, most people realise anyway, but don't like to admit it. Otherwise why would they be here?

Sometimes it just takes a friend, even an internet friend to listen, not judge and to help when can. That's why this place is so nice.
