`I feel you are due an apology. I posted in haste, too brief, so to make it right I will explain my words.
During sex, much information is exchanged subliminally. Sometimes I found that a woman to whom I was initially attracted lacked the depth, the capacity to hold my interest. And the only ethical thing to do was to clear out and move on.
You are a pretty girl with bright ambitions. So, if men are not sticking around, there are basically 2 possible explanations : one is that you are inexperienced or careless in assessing people’s character. The other is that you have yet to develop the character attributes that men want to be with.
Offhand, I’d reckon both reasons are in play.
Modern women have a strange idea of their own worth, and the entitlements that go with it, thinking that those expectations are their spiritual birthright. And they look to men to support their self-image of an enlightened enchantress.
Now men are usually not quite as dumb as they look, and they can recognise when a woman’s expectations is gonna cost more than they can afford. Not just in money, but in energy, too.
Fact is, developing spiritual strength is hard work. Endless hard work. Having grown up in a society which is based on christian values, people naturally get the idea that their spiritual growth is as easy as sucking a wafer and sending off a prayer.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It takes years of putting the Truth above the comfortable lies that we are told about ourselves and our place in the world, before we can put together a realistic understanding of our situation.
New age ideas are essentially christian, because they assume that SOMEBODY ELSE will save us. Many people tell themselves that acting nice is the answer to everything, that niceness is spirituality in action.
That pipe dream is based on the idea that somebody else will do the dirty work to protect us from evil, from those dark things that feed unseen on mankind. Somebody elses who, incidentally, we do not pay for defending mankind.
Thus we hear these lazy people telling each other how spiritual we all are, but making very little effort to do anything more than keep their job and mind their manners. So, when they recognise that their niceness is not bringing what they expected, they flounder in bewilderment and self-pity. There is nothing spiritual about laziness. Laziness is an invitation to disaster. Always was.
Those people I stay away from. Socially and spiritually they are a bad investment. When someone starts talking of what they want in a partner as if they were ordering a special pizza, I head back into the trees. I’m gone.
Forrest Carter’s books give il----rations of how we can be real with each other. Live out a courageous contribution with a man of decency, and he will treasure you.
In the meantime, an intelligent dog will give you the loyalty and affection that is so hard to find amongst modern humans. Not something so over-bred that it is witless and looks like something from a fashion magazine or like a cartoon character. My companion is from working breeds, half eskimo dog, half sheep dog, and she is a tremendous comfort. A friendlier, more joyous person you could not hope to meet.
