Can't discuss things in the moment...causing problems..

Hi SueNami,

Oh, yeah... we are up against Language again -- I took "fear" to mean dread of bodily harm or death, which was quite reasonable, but as in another sense, as you intended, the word 'fear' inferred a sense of Anxiety, dread, or loothing for a situation.

Yeah, I should have caught that..

But I think, in the end that Fear is Fear. if you do not Fear Death, then, really, Do the Little things really matter?

the Problem with your Anxieties is that that they disturb and trouble you. But, being FEARLESS, above Death and anything else beneath it, would release you from Emotional Connection to these causes of Anxiety.

You would simply see it as a Chess Move.

Now, yes, there are give and takes in all of this. Now, your boyfriend gets to see you frothing at the mouth in rage and with tears in the corner of your eyes. But, Without Fear... basically and all the way... you would be steely eyed and cold and calm -- with whatever your Boyfriend said or did, you would simply make a counter-move... and not even necessarily to Win... you might chose to Lose for his sake... but you would do it with the same solid serious ice cold and calm glare in your eyes.... Your Boyfriend would realize that you Are not somebody to just screw around with...that you have a 'Quantity' that he really needs to reckon with... and Thank God for... there is no greater asset in the World, for a man, than a Woman with a solid foundation in Reality, and the Will to assert it. She would be a True Compass for Direction in every ordinary decision, and a True Philosopher's Stone in those hazy ethical decisions that come to ordinary people every now and then.

Wow Leo you are full of wisdom. Yes...wisdom that's the word I was looking for. You blow my mind. I see your post all about the anger and angry feelings.

How often do you write? I would buy your book because it would be full of useful information....yes useful and insightful information from a man full of it...full of wisdom that is.

Hey have a good day Leo, you ol' king of words you. now get out of here and write that book so we mere mortals could learn.

Thanks.

Hi Captain....

yes, modesty beside, I read that thing I wrote, and, well, it was quite good. I guess Practice Makes Perfect, and I am an Old Man... and if I had any more 'Practice', I would probably have to be 'dead'. I guess I am proving the point that "with age comes Wisdom" ... and enough familiarity with Fine Literature to express it compellingly.

anyway, Captain, thank you very much. but, really, it is difficult to Take Credit for stuff like that. it was My Thinking at the Moment. I have no idea whether I would have thought the same thing NOW.

But I guess it is only polite to acknowledge a Compliment extended to the ME from last week...

thanks again. and yes, reading that Passage again with fresh eyes, well... it does give me Confidence in Myself.... what I can Write on the Fly, so to speak. It WAS rather good....
