Brought to mind by another thread, but didn't want to intrude on anyone's grief..

"When I was 20 I worried about what people thought about me. When I was 40 I couldn't care what they thought of me. Now I am 60 and I realize they were not thinking about me at all." Just a joke, but has its own wisdom

Thank you Big V.
I think I have lurked long enough. I like your Marcus Aurelius signature, too.

Thanks for your kind words about my signature, I try to live up to it each day; I confess I am confused a bit about your signature. I find trust to be a necessary part of love. I don't think I can love anyone I don't trust. The converse is true of course, there are many I trust but do not love. Lastly, I am happy to have you paddle while I steer.

Now you are getting tricky, Big V!
I have had a pretty rugged life where many people who loved me (and I loved) let me down. Proved not worthy of my trust but I loved them for what they were. They did what they thought was best. Now I try to love or have compassion for "many" but am aware that only "few" are really trustworthy in regard to me. Hence the "paddling of my own canoe" = I go my own way, not someone else's. Which means, kind Sir, if you came aboard,you would paddle while I would steer

I'm with Bunyip--there are plenty of people whom I love and accept as flawed individuals, but that doesn't mean that they have my own best interests at heart as well. I don't trust them to do the right thing in certain situations, or maybe even any situation, but I love them nonetheless.
