U Can Run…But U Can’t Hide…(from yourself)
on June 4th, 2008 at 12:30 amSome people spend their whole lives running away, in a futile attempt to find something better. But you can never run away from yourself.
Husbands and wives leave their spouses and families behind, because of “differences”. Employees move to another company or another city, instead of working through the problems where they are.
But throwing away what you already have, does not necessarily get you something better. Changing the situation, often does not solve the problem. You are stronger than any situation. You can overcome tremendous obstacles, if you really want to. For things to be better, you must work to make them better.
Sure, its great to move on and try new things. But don’t run away from the good things you already have, in search of a quick fix. Sooner or later, you will have to confront life. The sooner, the better. Because that is where fulfillment begins.
Well said, however, I think you are selling yourself short as a sacred vow cannot be a cause, as it is the agreement that two people spiritually come together over. The decision to stay in neglect is based on choice not the essence of the vow. The paradigm in terms of the quantity of time two people spend with one another equating to closeness or lack thereof has not shifted as far as you think. If this were true, I am certain that couples surviving the military and those whose professions are based on travel and distance (ie,…truck drivers, recruiters, etc) would indeed beg to differ. The Date Nights are inspirational and encouraging mental get aways. It is a wonderful view into how nice it would be to have that experience, or to simply look at the possibility through Chuckie’s eyes with a lit candle, closed eyes and soothing relaxation, until it’s time wake up, back to life, back to reality.
