    kaylar wrote a new post, Some Marriages are Doomed from Start 7 years, 9 months ago

    A friend of mine was very important in politics.  Whatever her past, I don’t know.  But she was in her late forties and had never been married.

    She was active in politics and hadn’t that much education, (which w […]

    • This is what actually happens in life. Marriages are taking place not between the persons but power/finance. If we eliminate these two factors, the real meaning of marriage will arise which is impossible to be found in most of the cases.

      It does not mean that both the bride and groom should have a glow on their faces. We cannot draw any conclusion if the glow is absent one for there may be many reasons.

      But, what actually springs up after a marriage is important. How they live, how they adjust themselves, the understand, give and take policy, mutual respect,..everything determines the bond between the couple.

      The glow, happiness, thrill, appearing on both the faces of bride and groom are all the days of past in the marriages where the elders were participating along with their families consisting of kids playing here and there, shouting loud, singing songs, etc. everything was making the atmosphere giving it totally a different look. The receiving of guest with respect, friends cutting jokes, somebody making some comments on bride and groom, some mischief by bride’s side and also from groom’s side were all bringing a life even into a dead silent atmosphere. They actually make things happen even if one does not want and finally those who do not like to participate in the event programs with enthusiasm will take some pleasure at least by viewing them. The whole atmosphere brings some change in the mental set up and activity.
      These are all totally absent.
      This clearly shows that it is not the money and status that actually binds two persons but only the feeling of ‘OUR BUT NOT YOUR AND MINE’.
      Any marriage should sow the seed of ‘OUR’ for a happy married life. How many are the marriages planting this seed?`

      • I think there are a lot of marriages for money and property and not love, and the families are either unaware or part of the scam.

    • I’ve been to weddings where the look on that Bride’s face was anything but happy… both ended in divorce.

    • I could understand the feelings. We can not take a solitary example to draw conclusions. This can be a tool to ventilate our grievance and express our hatred against a Ruler whose decision is affecting millions.

      He has been making this promise along with some more from the start of his election campaign. No one has paid any heed to them Those who believed and reposed trust in him had voted for him as they had not seen anything special in the promises of Mrs Hillary.

      Even after his victory, people took a very light of his promises as casual and routine dialogues made by every candidate during elections to gain votes.

      But, Mr. Trump turned out to be quite a different President, unlike his predecessors.

      So, the whole problem now.

    • The point is, you don’t have an secrets to the extent they erase who you are. In the example, what value is it for Carly to hear the truth? She probably knows it… and covers up. What use is it for Lisa?

    The American programme “Lost” was one of those unique shows which people talk and think about.  I don’t know what it was really about, as so much is surreal that I can’t be sure if this ‘really’ happened on the […]

    • I have tried to watch this series so many times, and I can’t seem to get past episode 5 in the first season. I’ve been told by so many friends and family that the series ends very strange, but luckily no one has spoiled it for me by telling me the ending.

      I keep telling myself that I’m going to start watching Season 1 from the beginning again, because it’s definitely a series where you can’t get up and go do something in the kitchen, or fix yourself a quick bite to eat while watching it, and be able to keep up on what’s going on. I think that’s what I did when I watched it the first few times.

      Maybe I’ll try watching it again soon, because I heard it was a good series, but just the ending was bad.

      • When you watch online, you can start, stop, and rewind. So you can see something… ‘what?’ and go back, see it again, stop, think, ‘get it’ then go on. It is a specifically puzzling series made to be puzzling….made to force you to think.

    I’ve already dealt with moderation.

    In fact, I might have dealt it too hard a blow because we have gone from intense to none; and that has caused a bit of decline as various people publish very low quality items, […]

    • I absolutely agree. Having that enticement to be on the front page, motivates each one to write better so their article will be on the front page.

      I used to be on the front page on the famous defunct site. The more that I am there, the more that I am motivated to write substantially and something that many can relate so they can give their insights on the topic therein.

      Hopefully, admin will have this implemented too in the near future.

      • It is time to change the front page. There is nothing there to catch the eye. They can shrink what is there now, move it down, and put the best items on the front page to catch the eye. This would attract more readers, and members.

    • Oh..these are people who are psychologically weak. They need the company but of people who they like whether or not they like her. If others do not like them they interfere, they break the conversations between the people opening a new topic which will be sometimes totally irrelevant. By interfering in the middle of the conversation when two people are speaking with other they do break the conversation successfully but can never achieve anything important either for them or for others.
