I can do 5/10 now. You?
I'm not sure, which 5 are you talking about? ;)
I used to believe in all of that, too -- but when I gave up hope I felt better. Now I'm delighted if things turn out better than I expected. Does that make me a cynic?
No, it shows you willing to look at the truth behind your beliefs. If what we believe does not match reality we become mired in emotional pain. You didn't give up hope, you just stopped fighting the reality of the fact that there are no absolute truths and doing so does make you a cynic.
Great posts, Colleen. I'm really enjoying them.
Thank you, mystery guest. :)
Just 2/10 for me!
