Real Understanding

I gave and still give.... As I understand what it is to have nothing. I request people to consider many aspects of life's hardships and disasters. I find that the ones who know what it is like to have nothing, gives the most. Do the most. Respects the most.
 
When you see the statistic and percentages of giving.
Wealthy, give only 1% or 10% for tax reasons.
Those who give most give 30 -60 % who have been poor and know what it is like to have nothing.
% and statistics , which I have been informed ... don't lie.

People In Need

 There are people who are in hospital, on the streets, in wars, in disasters and people are dying, all around the world. N0t only in 3rd world countries but in national, world countries, Australia, New Zealand, America, United Kingdom, Africa, Pacific. This is every day, every minuet and every second. It is also not only the human beings which are leaving t...his earth it is also the animals.

 There is one thing which is common in it all, the ones who have nothing, give everything. Some wealthy people sit at the table and just read about it and then move on to their ten dollar coffee. It is not nice to be called a statistic. Yet,  is what people place us in. We are beings of life. We have feelings, we have minds and if we had a dollar to give we will, as we know what it is to live with nothing and know about death personally.

 Illness touches us, we give: disasters happen we give: sometimes we give more away than we have, to assist those in need, more greater than our own wants and needs. Yet we are called a statistic. We get no thanks but we give anyway. While most of the wealthy read and not support us, that  we give more than we have to others in greater need. Just a thought for all the critics and hooo haa's.

 Even when we have no money, we give out time. Our time is valuable too. This is my request(from Sonia F Stevens) to all... Who will read my note and share it. If you do, you are an extraordinary being in life's world. A that is courageous, for standing.
 
I found that who I am is unimportant. What I do is more important. Inspire creative passions which you were born to achieve and be, is!

My Commitment

Within my heart there is a struggle

within my life the intimacy revelling knowledge of you

Within my heart lies bare and cherished of primal attachment.



Deepest truths when we are together

Widening our lives with each other in twining

Sustaining us knowledge of trust, love and passion



This is the choice of maturity

Being supported every way while we live our lives together

Living our close lives intertwined each day



Within my heart there is a struggle

Within my life the intimacy revelling knowledge of you

Within my heart lies bare and cherished of primal attachment.



With our all and imperfections

Giving all to each other

The love which joins us amidst the moods of other's rejections.



The deepest struggles of our hearts

Of life and imperfections being heard and known

Calm amidst the life of moods and within love us



With maturity and our commitment

Responsibility, integrity of this commitment

Learning and expanding as we love and understand

Overwhelm all that there is and will be.


To experience and left unexperienced the sharing

There is a place where I for you and you for I

Have chosen together to all that we have


All the yearnings of needs wants and desires

The hearts which beat as one

Knowing of peace excitement as we get even closer

One lover for each other

So it is now and forever

You will be my lover

Traits

Now that I have identified the personality trait that predisposes her/him to that unusual quirk, I ask myself what benefits I personally receive because of those personality traits she/he has.  Here’s a quick list that comes to my mind now as I think about it:
  1. I can trust her/him.  I know who she/he is and who she/he is not.  There’s no anxiety about how she/he secretly feels about a relationship with me or anyone else.
  2. She/He doesn’t care that my face is peeling from a sunburn when we go to meet her/his parents.
  3. She/He gives me matter of fact advice with no awkwardness or hesitation when I ask her opinion about things.

I could go on and on, but you get the point.  I mentally frame the annoying behaviour in the context of things I like about her/him, and voila!  Suddenly I find myself easily dismissing the angst that was building inside me just a moment earlier.

And now a warning:

Quirks reveal things about your partner’s personality.  Most of those quirks are harmless, annoying features of their behaviour.  However, there are a few quirks that speak to an underlying incompatibility you should seriously consider.

The nature of quirks is that the person who does them is generally unaware that they are doing them, or unaware that other people find those behaviours odd or annoying.  As a result, they often reveal things about a person’s personality that they might otherwise choose to hide from you during the early stages of a dating relationship.

If she/he chooses to hide the fact that her/his car is always messy, it probably is not a really big deal.  If you are a very conscientious person, maybe it would be a big deal to you, but probably something most people could live with.  However, if she/he is trying to hide a cynical, sarcastic personality trait that reveals itself in the quirk of occasionally berating a waitress with unnecessarily harsh criticisms, consider how that same trait may transfer to the way he treats you, or your children at some point in the future.

He/She may laugh, smile, and go back to his pleasant interaction pattern just thirty seconds after tearing the waitress a part.  If he does this, don’t be fooled.  That kind of little quirk signals the presence of a monster lurking beneath the surface.  That monster could be an anger monster, a manipulator monster, or the monster of untamed narcissism.

I don’t mean to scare you.  I’m only pointing out the obvious, trying to raise your awareness of a simple tool that can improve your relationships.  Here’s the recap.  No one is perfect, so when you find a pretty good man/woman, learn to appreciate the personality traits that cause her/ him to have a few quirks.  Quirks are also unconscious signals of personality traits (much of the time).  As such, they are useful tools for recognizing personality traits the person may suppress when in your presence.
