Got that right darlin'!

Therein lies the difficulty i believe Scott. Truth is probably one thing, and each persons perception of it is different.
That is what makes communication so difficult...We all perceive as Annie said, according to our own life and history....and then
make our own endings accordingly...again paraphrasing.

I don't know if I agree completely with that. I honestly believe that we all know the universal truths already, but we color them with our own desires as opposed to perceptions.
Truman and I disagree on this point often: We place expectations on those in our lives, and when they aren't met, we get hurt. I'm not sure than any human being has the right to place expectations on anyone else. If we accept people into our lives how they arrived without thought to what they bring to our lives then maybe we stand a better chance of learning and growing more from the experience.

Well if you mean that by not placing any expectations on others nor try and make them into our vision, of how
we wish them to be. That to me is good and bad..I dont believe we should try to make people into our own
ideal of them. But on the other hand..If we do make a connection with people I do believe there are natural expectations
as to care and respectful behaviors. It just depends on what you are looking for.
I dont think however we should be hurt if they dont see us, as we see ourself.. Or fulfill any expectation we may
have. As I said before. We always see everything according to our own experiences in life. Its how the human animal
works. We learn from our failures, more often unfortunately than from our successes. Makes life a tougher road, but
there you are.
