LONG JOURNEY

OUR NATURE

We are all equal in that we have received life, yet we all differ in our outlook. We all have or should have equal rights to live freely and enjoy the life given to us, yet we all differ in our abilities and skills.  We are all equal in that we need food, shelter and air to breathe, yet we differ in nature. This 'nature' we have that makes us all different, is something we are born with  - could it be our DNA structure, it does not change through the years. Some people have a deep inborn love for nature and animals and a love of the outdoors. For others this is a terrible strain because they are more structured and enjoy the luxury of a bed, house, ablution facilities.. As this nature of ours will travel with us throughout our lives, we should learn to be true to ourselves at all times. When choosing a life partner this is extremely important to have similar natures, otherwise what one loves and needs to keep balanced and happy, the other abhors and hates, forcing themselves to go along because that is what is expected of them in a relationship, leading to feelings of resentment, anger and unhappiness, which cannot be hidden very well and spoils the adventure and experience of the other, because they're continually complaining and bitching about all the discomfort and cannot see the beauty around them through the frustrations they have to endure. Either they have to endure this or enjoy their lives in separate ways, which puts a terrible strain on a relationship, especially a marriage, even pulling children apart in the choosing of sides. This is when people drift apart and start living past each other, where they start meeting other people more like themselves with who they are more compatible, this is where temptations have a field day. When peoples 'natures' are so different, their hearts are in another place, their outlook on everything is opposite causing endless arguments over the smallest things. It becomes a very strained relationship invariably ending badly. Our hobbies change all the time, our likes and dislikes change, our interests change, but NOT OUR NATURE....IT IS WHO WE ARE.  When embarking on a life long relationship, don't be attracted to outer beauty which fades, or money which can run dry, or position and power which can change overnight, find the nature and soul of the other person so you are able to travel on the same level and not waste precious years of investing time and effort into something that is going to fail and don't pretend you like something when you hate it in your heart, you won't be able to hide it for a long time.. Especially not a life time...when the first passion wears off it will start irritating the hell out of you which causes major problems.....choose wisely.......©
