It Takes Loving Deeply to Hate Deeply!

I read an interesting blog today. It spoke of a woman who has been married for 12 years. She, coincidentally, is from Texas. She wrote a letter to a book author. This letter was titled "I HATE MY HUSBAND!" The author explained that she gets letters like these all of the time. She continued an e-mail exchange trying to find out why this woman would say such a thing.

Turns out that her lusting for others, anger, uncomfortability and want to escape all stemmed from BOREDOM! Why do women get so bored, and do men equally get bored in this way? It turns out, YES! Everyone gets bored, but this feeling of hate comes because you love so much.

If you are hurt or upset by someone you don't care about, it is much easier to move on and not hold any hostility whatsoever. I find this very true. When people I barely know, or expect very little from me disappoint me, I may be angry for a short period of time, but tend to let it go quite quickly. Conversely, I get the most irritated when someone I love lets me down, hurts me or causes some sort of disruption in my life.

I am a person of passion and with immense love, comes immense ire. We are drawn to our "opposites" so to speak, but in reality it is the things you have in common that steer you toward success.

My husband and I grew up in a similar way; we each have 3 siblings, are from the DFW area, support our military and have separated parents. These things remind us of our dedication to family, and how important it is to be with your support system, and become a support system. We are however vastly different. He is an avid hunter and fisherman, love working outdoors, is great at cooking, already has one child and has a very volatile past. I on the other hand had a relatively simple past, don't hunt or fish very well or often, love working in doors, can't cook for crap and am scared to death of having children.

So how do we make these things work? We love, we fight, we string our life together with caution. Sometimes you have to look at everything in a different light, try and see things through other people's eyes.

I hope to never become bored. I hope to be in a life of constant change and growth. I know we all have our problems, but sometimes they can just be solved with love and compassion.

Leave a positive impact on those you encounter. You will make a difference!
