  Powerful and true words. May I ask what brought this up?

• crybabylu said on Apr 11, 2009....

  very true

  How are you, gingersoul? Haven't talked to you in awhile.

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Woman......hello lady....:-)
  
  You sure can ask...and i would reply...... i can feel the desire flowing in and out of myself...through the desire of others projected on me, through the absence of their object of desire, through my desire of pulling someone closer like the moon pulls the tide..
  All and nothing brought this up tonight, as you can see...:-)
  
  I was listening to that beautiful song of the Banquet, that its all about desire....i read Eviltwin's post where he is longing full of desire for his Alyss  {hugs, my friends}.
  
  I miss one friend tonight...
  I desire one person tonight...
  
  It must be this soft rain, i guess...and the sound of my wind chimes outside my balcony......few nights ago it was full moon....and i was wondering...
  
  What or who do you desire, Woman?

  "Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." 

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Crybaby......you are back....:-)
  Hope life has been treating you nicely out there in the wild real world....
  
  Didn't expect any comments tonight...i was simply sharing that beautiful music..... and that vision of pure lust....lol...
  
  Mumbling, mostly....fishing for emotions...
  I like doing this.
  
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  BeyBey.....oh, Robert Frost, my friend.......great choice...great poet....:-)
  
  Do you agree? So...if we finally reach the love of our object and they finally desire us....its there that love dies, right there?
  Like a no more sustainable emotion?
  Like a job well done and completed?
  Sayonara, my love?
  
  What or who do you desire, BeyBey?

• woman said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Ah, you ask hard questions Ms Ginger.

  I have passion for many things. Most things. I feel things deeply. I used to wish I didn't but now on good days I feel it is a blessing. On bad days perhaps a curse.

  There is no one special I desire right now Ginger. There have been men and and whole gardens of desire, but not right now. There still remains the desire to be desired. Age does not change that.

• the_infernal_optimist said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Very true. :)

• beyondtheveil said on Apr 11, 2009....

  ginsoul- I think Frost is right. When we are alone and have no one we desire to be desired. But I don't think Anouk Aimee was right when she said "Its so much better to desire than to have." Its much better to have and grow with that person, place, or thing.
  
  Life is desire and desire grows with having. Desire going unnoticed creates melancholy. But desiring and getting the wrong things is worse than having none at all. We need to understand what it is we really are longing for.
  

• uniquely-ironic said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Desire is that ache deep in your soul that looks for it's answer in the soul of another.  Sadly all desire is not satisfied.

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Woman......for you a quote from one of my favorite writer...Anais Nin:
  
  "Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age".
  
  So yes, love will keep beating its own rhythm in your heart, maybe even more now that when you were younger....because now you know the boundaries of the time and the scarcity of it as well...
  
  I had always have a feeling, reading you, that you have been (and you are) a woman full of passion. Many men must have loved you deeply as well..

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Infie......very true indeed...:-)
  
  You don't fool me though....
  I know very well that often behind concise words hid the most of the words...are you agreeing with me?
  
  "The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say"......Anais Nin again.....
  
  What or who do you desire, Infernal?   
  

• woman said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Ginger. How did you become so wise at such a young age? I have said this many times before, and you echo it when you say, "now you know the boundaries of the time and the scarcity of it as well". You have read between the lines Ms. Ginger, I am however, content at the moment. I have so many projects going on that I really need to put my passion into those.

  Thanks for an interesting post.

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  
  BeyBey......Anouk Aimee...one of the most beautiful actress....i love this movie...
  
  The complete quote explains better her statement...
  
  "It`s so much better to desire than to have. . . . The moment of desire, when you know something is going to happen -- that`s the most exalting"
  
  
  The trick is all in this: trying to find perennial reasons in the other person that make us feel that moment of desire in the long run......some can do it....some stay at that constant level of exultation longer than others...why? Its all here...its all here...
  .
  And you are perfectly right when you say about being careful in not desiring the things that are wrong for us is......but...how can you control such a powerful and irrational emotion like desire?   

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  U-nee-k....but what about the opposite, instead?
  
  What about having a constant desire that never goes satisfied?
  Maybe is in this impossibility of completeness that lays the real purpose of desire, its energy as a force of continuous changing for us ...
  Once you have had what you desire, again......that desire dies.
  Are you left with what then?
  A desire-less life.
  Better to die.
  
  What or who do you desire, U-nee-K?
  
  And so, BeyBey....isn't it better desiring someone or something even if wrong for you than not desiring anything or anyone at all?
  
  Woman...my young age?.. LOL....i am 97 years old, lady....thought you knew it...:-D
  

• the_infernal_optimist said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Again well-spoken, ginger. :)
  
  Words are like rain, with times of flooding, times of drought...
  
  I desire for those who seek happiness to find it, and to find merit in the journey, though it may not always be an easy road.
  
  ~Infernal
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  
  Infie......but then i can't help wonder.......why do we have always to be so holy?
  Desire is also jealous and revengeful......  i know it very well....
  
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Infie....this is one poem of mine that i think you might appreciate tonight...
  
  
  When he is not writing you anymore
  is because he is trying to figure out
  a life without you
  while you were busy trying to apply
  news laws of attraction to yours.
  
  When the letters remain unopened
  is because he is living with a perplexed smile
  while you still try not to panic
  in the sad absence of his face
  
  When the screen is phosphorescent for nothing
  if not its own absence of meanings
  it might mean a friend is lost forever.
  A voice is softly whispering, yes, but too distant?
  
  The questions are destined to remain unheard
  because the only one able to give you answers
  is the one who is not here: the absent.

• Hegemone said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Very true words you speak here.  Desire is as delicate as it is powerful I believe.

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  
  I was desiring to listen to this cello piece by days...:-)
  Bach and Yo-Yo Ma...now i can go to sleep....
  
  Heggie.....yes, powerful and dangerous...but don't we always fall for the bad boys soon or later?....lol.. 
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 11, 2009....

  What or who do you desire, Hegemone?

• Hegemone said on Apr 11, 2009....

  Lol, yeah, I suppose we do fall for them eventually.  What do I desire?  Happiness and health.  Who do I desire?  My husband ... with perhaps a few improvements in the 'figuring out how to remove his foot from his mouth on his own' department, lol.

• beyondtheveil said on Apr 11, 2009....

  ginsoul- My wife would be the first to tell you I'm not like most people - or men should I say. I don't let my desires control my life, my rationality usually kicks in. I normally desire a satisfying status quo. I don't even understand a constant level of exaltation - nor does she. This doesn't mean we flounder in a rut, though good ruts have definite advantages. And it also doesn't mean ruts preclude spontaneity .
  
  And no, I don't think desiring and achieving the wrong thing is better than not desiring. I desire balance, to be held and hold dear, and have moments that are exalted which are interspersed into a comfortable life. Aimee is talking about anticipation (desire) being better than the living of it. I still can't hold to that. I consider the involvment to climax of anything more exalting than the anticipation - unless my desire turns out to be wrong for me.
  
  If anticipation turns out better than the act and culmination, it was a misplaced or fooling desire, one which will lead to disappointment. Also, remember that desire for a person is only a part of our life's desires and I am speaking of all desire. I've been fooled many times by desire, probably most have. Those are teaching experiences.
  
  High passion from desire is best had in doses.
  

• Me-Myself&I said on Apr 12, 2009....

  good morning Ginger. *smile* nice post. oh, Happy Easter to you and yours.
   
  hmmm....passion....i'm passionate about most things. but when i have a Desire for Passion, i am a hound dog on the hunt, cold trailing the scent. most of the time i just get to tree ....the Passion i Desire. ;~( lol.... i never get my hands on it!!!!
   
  have a wonderful day! take care ~see ya
   
   

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Heggie.....well...healthy desires are the portal to healthy happiness indeed.. ..:-)
  .
  Only remember that men should be changed that much...only refined, maybe...
  The way they were at the beginning is the reason we fell in love with them..so why to change the source of our bliss?
  
  I will never make that mistake again....learned my lesson...bitterly..
  
  M&M.......the desire for passion could by many be considered the portal to hell ...;-)
  
  Buddhism teaches that the desire is a dangerous emotions ...one should clean the soul from it in order to live a peaceful and right life....
  
  One of the many reasons why Western civilation hasn't been influenced by Eastern philosophies....the Western world has been shaped by desire....desire for conquers, land, success, money, power....
  
  Have a great day!
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  I can whip a dirty mean blueberry with sliced banana and strawberry any day of the week, you know....:-)
  
  Now, back to business...
  
  I like your comment.......you mix in a seemingly nice balance spontaneity and control, exaltation and routine....fruitful ruts and occasional destruction of your equilibrium.
  I think that is the key to your long and happy marriage, my friend..
  I am happy for you.
  
  Now......if you would nicely send me the manual....lol....
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Anon......thank you for your extremely positive criticism. I greatly appreciate.
  But....irrythmatic??  wha??
  
  See the result of my search on Dictionary.com:
  
  
  No results found for irrythmatic:
  Did you mean erythematic (in dictionary) or ARITH-MATIC (in reference)
  Would you like to search the encyclopedias, or search the Web for irrythmatic?
  
  UIhmmm.......wondering here...
  
  And fact is.....it has been done on purpose, silly goose.
  I don't like that "rythmatic" thingie at all......
  But hey.....that's me, honey. At best.

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Voltaire......i was actually wondering if you would have visited this post....after all...rationalism and passion fight a constant battle since the beginning of the time...;-)
  
  Great quote from Bradley.....thank you...
  
  And what or who do you desire, Voltaire?
   
  

• Hegemone said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Nah, I don't want to change much fundamental about him, its just that one thing he USED to do in the beginning that he stopped doing, so, as you said, its one of the things that made me fall for him in the beginning yes ... and I want him to go back to doing it, lol.

• Voltaire said on Apr 12, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  Actually the quote isn't from Bradley but rather Carl Sandburg.
  
  Rationalism vs passion; heh I have a wide range of interests.
   I am not only black and white but a wast wide range of colours and patterns.
  No thing is complete without the exact opposite, you can feel both happiness and sadness, this makes you complete.
  
  I know I might seem like extreme on one or the other side, however I do fine on both.*grins*
  
  As for what I desire, a ladies heart. More knowledge wouldn't hurt.
  Money is only bonus. But mostly I desire a ladies heart.
  
  And no I didn't notice the post until now.
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  
  
  
  To feed our dark side and our romantic side as well.....aren't they both faces of the same coin?
  
  Just to equally deliver......lol..
  
  
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Voltaire.....how curious....i went to double check about that quote..
  I remembered it as attributed to Bradley. Well...some sites link it to Sandburg, other to Bradley but the ones linked to Bradley has a longer quote...
  
  "The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring. And that is not happiness".
  F. H. Bradley
  
  Oh, well....they say the same thing...:-)
  
  What i found interesting is that while you were writing your comment i was posting my videos AND both you and I have expressed the presence of a duality.......rationalism and passion and within passion the presence of two opposite sides...
  
  Ah, to possess one's heart......who possesses both beauty and brain.....i hope you will find it soon...

  So...i see what you say.....in this case it shouldn't be that difficult to remind him of the way you were.....what about spicing up your daily routine with lots of desire and passion?....i bet he will have his memory back in a nanosecond....lol...
  
  I thought this video was perfect for you...plus, you gave me the occasion to listen this song again....lol..

• Voltaire said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Ginger,
  I didn't think of that to much, who made it up isn't as interesting as it's content.
  
  Well duality is a fact. I prefer to see myself as a realistic Romantic.
  
  I came to think of a old quote:
  
  "And so, to, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he who can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other."
  
  How true.
  
  I'm still waiting, however I am not in stress as I know I got plenty of time left.
  
  
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Voltaire.....ok, now on this one we will have no dispute....Eckart....lol..
  
  I agree....stressing would be take away the undeniable pleasure of being in the search of....
  I always liked this state of mind...its a sort of suspended anticipation...and since nothing is still happening, everything might happen..
  
  This waiting is not the part i hate....i hate this part of loving.... ;-)
  

• Voltaire said on Apr 12, 2009....

  Ginger,
  Meister Eckart it is.
  
  Suspended anticipation.. Good description.
  
  However if I meet a lady whom I like I am not the one likely to wait, I have made the experience that

  ...Time is the enemy. ;-)
  
  Waiting  will never result in anything, except possible desperation...lol

  Desire is passion entrapped

• gingersoul said on Apr 12, 2009....

  mOOn....entrapped....i like it....it evokes the feeling of restless pacing in the cage of your emotions....but when the finality overcomes the pain .....and the cage is open....then everything bad that your desire might have made you suffer or done....its gone......
  
  I think that no one better than a medieval mystic knows what desire really means. Weren't they already physically trapped in the confinement of those cells? In their corporal restrains?
  

• Voltaire said on Apr 13, 2009....

  Of course I am. ,:-)

• ellamae14 said on Apr 16, 2009....

  this is such a beautiful post. and the exchange of words full of wisdom leaves me humbled to my self. I have lived such a short life to give up on the department of desire already. I guess when you're hurt you just don't see what everyone elses see. I get by each day because I'm in control and know that love and or desire for it will not swept me off my feet again. such foolish notions.

• Voltaire said on Apr 16, 2009....

  
  
  
  EllaMae,
  
  How long you've lived here and the wisdom you have do not relate to each other.
  Some are wise, even in their early days.
  If you consider me to be wise, then I might just be a good example.
  
  As Gian Carlo Menotti said:
  A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the approximate depth of his ignorance.
  
  Confucius once said:
  By three methods we may learn wisdom: first by reflection, which is the noblest;
  Second by imitation, which is the easiest; third by experience, which is the bitterest.
  
  And to keep to topic I shall link to a old classic:
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 23, 2009....

  Voltaire.....you are the first one to have ever quoted Menotti here......:-)

  But Confucius is a good friend of mine and we had visited very often already...;-p

   

• Voltaire said on Apr 24, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  Menotti might not be so well known as Confucius.
  Guess that's why.
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 24, 2009....

  Voltaire.....oh, i am aware of that.....:-)

  For everybody else who might wonder who my fellow Italian Gian Carlo Menotti is ...this is a link to his biography... 

• Voltaire said on Apr 24, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  hehe I bet.
  
  It seems this has lingered over to wisdom slowly..
  I personally think humbleness before one's unawareness is the first step to wisdom, however that might be a separate topic of its own?
  
  Yet I find it hard to put my finger on it and say "this is wisdom", this is something that each individual has a separate definition for, I personally don't have a definition for it... I just know it when I see it.
  
  How about you? I'm curious.
  
  Best Wishes,
  Voltaire
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 24, 2009....

  Voltaire......well, like Socrates says...."I know that i don't know"...this is the very first step to philosophy and the inquiries of the human mind all start from the not knowing...the doubts and the questions...
  Wisdom, in this line of thought, comes indeed from humbleness ....you are right...
  
  The questioning minds don't stop at the surface.......they dig and from doing so they have to admit their original defeat.......they first have to admit they don't know anything...
  
  As you say, i definitely can tell you what is wisdom only when compared to what wisdom is not...
  
  The opposite of wisdom is not opening our mind and not questioning.....the people who are always full of answers are the scariest ones, don't you agree?...:-)

• Voltaire said on Apr 25, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  Yes, I must say Socrates must have been a quite smart man.
  At least a bright mind for sure.
  
  Questioning minds can stop any where they please, and often so do.
  I think few go the whole way in questioning.
  
  I don't really think we can know anything for sure, or take anything for granted, everything variable. On a situation to situation basis.
  Each event is more or less unique, in some way.
  
  I personally don't think people that are full of answers are scary, sometimes they are "stupid" (sometimes ignorant) but they can also be very skilled at what they do.
  
  I personally have a lot of answers for a wide range of topics, however they are mostly based on experience. Sometimes opinions... and so on.
  
  But my answers might not apply to you.
  Is that what is scary for you?
  
  Regards,
  Voltaire
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 25, 2009....

  Voltaire.....when i wrote that people who has always the answers are the scariest ones what i meant was that most of the time this is a sign of having pre-concept notions that are not (if ever) questioned...
  
  The soldiers don't question the orders and they kill.
  
  I prefer the questioning kind....
  
  When i was younger i used to divide the world in black and white...no grey areas for me...growing up maybe means understanding that there are more grey spots than we can even imagibe and act consequentially.....
  
  If you do have a lot of answers for a wide range of topics this doesn't scare me at all......actually it makes of you an interesting fella in my book.....even those answers might not apply to me...
  All is fair as long one has the flexibilty to intake new notions as well as doubt them when its due...
  
  I bet you can do this, am i correct?...:-)
   
  

• Voltaire said on Apr 26, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  Yes I see your point, and I agree.
  
  When I was young I also saw things black and white, then in my teens I saw a lot of grey; just as you say. However these days I don't really see either.
  
  For example is death a "black" event?
  It doesn't have to be, if the dyeing thing is in pain then it's a good thing.
  If it does without pain, that might be good to, then it doesn't have to feel pain.
  
  There is so much to take into account so it really is hard to "classify" everything into certain groups..  Hmm, I can't find the right words for this..
  Hope you understand what I mean.
  
  Black, White and grey are groups of events that we classify as bad, good or something in the middle.
  With so much to take account for, I personally don't think that works well in practice.
  We can group certain things, like animals but for example feelings can be rather hard to put into a specific group.
  
  If I can it or not.... I'll leave you to judge that yourself. ;-)
  
  Regards,
  Voltaire
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 26, 2009....

  Voltaire.....lets say that the approach to good and bad is an individual one.
  Actions that might horrify one can be easily accepted by another one.
  So, in this line of reasoning...yes, even death has a double side...everything is relative, after all.
  
  Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself. (T.S.Eliot)
  
  A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.
  (Socrates)
  
  The classification of our external reality is indeed easier than the one we have to operate in classifying our internal reality.
  So many factors enter in this equation: our position in the world, our perception of the world, our awareness of our connection with the world, our sensitiveness to the changes of the world and the implications of these changes in ourselves.....the list can go at infinitum...
  Only..i dont think i can be a fair judge of your ability to be flexible in intaking new notions and find the right (for you) place in the world.
  I think this is one aspect of getting to know people ...learning their classification method....
  
  Do you have alot of shelves? Are you an organizer freak? ....lol... 
  

• Voltaire said on Apr 27, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  Indeed, everything is relative.
  
  Such a list would be enormous, way beyond my spare time.
  
  I'm not asking you to judge, but rather to get you a opinion of your own, which I believe you already have; let that be your answer. Remember though the answer may change with time. I think you follow your first impression of a person; your gut I guess you could say.
  
  I personally follow the school of "situation ethics", I believe each situation is so unique it can't be judged upon previous events. To generalize a bit.
  
  I do have a few shelves, for books mainly.
  
  I have organized chaos, however.
  
  Regards,
  Voltaire
  
  
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 27, 2009....

  Voltaire..... right......i always follow my gut in taking in the first impressions from a new person.....and i keep following this rule during the rest of the relationship.....it rarely fails me...

  I could give you many examples of how right on target my gut feeling had helped me.......even in pretty amazing situations....

  About your ethical aproach to different situations, i agree with you even though i think we should take in consideration the whole when judging the particular...otherwise no action would be situated in the rigth perspective...no one would have a historical path.....and sometimes having the right perspective of an event is fundamental in its comprehension.....

  Btw...i am like you...i have a highly structured and organized chaos....;-)

   

   

• Voltaire said on Apr 28, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  Yep I know. I can' tell you how often I've heard that.
  I was into paranormal once, there the "gut" has a big importance.
  Let me ask you then, what was your first impression of me?
  
  otherwise no action would be situated in the right perspective.
  
  There is no "right" perspective, as you said above, it's individual.
  
  A historical path can never be erased, it is part of you, if your aware of it or not.
  Many years of hate, violence, love, passion...
  Everything is part of you, in your genes.
  If you believe in reincarnation then even part of your soul.
  
  I believe in reincarnation of some sort, and I to believe I have a old soul.
  
  My organized chaos builds upon good memory. ,:-)

  Voltaire...well, online impressions are a special kind ....maybe are the most accurate, because we receive only the vibes coming from words, without the distracting elements coming from the physical aspect...
  But words can also be extremely deceiving........creating a veil of lies and false images..
  
  Lets say that for a moment i had the impression you were an alt......now i think you are only Voltaire....-)
  
  I think you might be not that old...maybe in your late 20 or early 30...you have a curious mind that is trying new revenues to engage in  mental "battle". It seems you are also a practical person (you gave suggestion about lemons cleaning something somewhere...dont remember where ...lol..), and naturally you are logical and open minded.
  Still have to see example of your sense of humor...but maybe its because you are a shy person...you dont like to be the center of the attention, you like to observe people. You like to be "different".
  
  That's it for now......how did i score? ...lol....
  
  My organized chaos builds upon good memory......i like that...:-)
  

• Voltaire said on Apr 29, 2009....

  GingerSoul,
  I choose Voltaire, because it suits me well.
  I'm not old most certainly not. However your guesses are wrong.
  
  As for being practical, yes especially for inventing things, a dear passion of mine.
  As for the lemon, that was Me-Myself&I that got that suggestion.
  
  Mental battle? I am looking to spread my ideas and have some discussions in civilized manners.. If there is such a thing.
  I am a good writer, so why not use it?
  
  My humour is not very appropriate to my personality and for now it shall remain a un-opened chapter.
  
  I WAS shy, not any more. I do like to observe people, animals and such... I like to try to predict their behaviour.
  
  I don't care for being different, I just am.
  
  So I say you scored quite well. ;-)
  
  

• gingersoul said on Apr 29, 2009....

  Voltaire.......glad i scored well...
  
  Un-opened humor, eh?....:-)
  
  Now i wonder what you might have guessed of me.....:-)
  

• Voltaire said on Apr 29, 2009....

  Your a female around 30's to 40's. You enjoy poetry. You thrive when everything is in harmony.
  You are a outdoors person, loves to be outside in the sun shine.
  You are likely to live on the country side.
  You probably keep a garden with flowers and such, making sure it looks good fairly often, you enjoy beauty.
  You really don't have that many hobbies however those you have are done with a real passion.
  Wouldn't surprise me if you do grow herbs in a small garden, maybe even a few selected vegetables. Green fingers even.
  You don't have to go to vacation, your little house on the country side is your little heaven on earth, or at least you tried to make it so.
  You have 1 maybe 2 kids.
  I think you are interested in the paranormal a bit to, while the interest isn't huge it's a thing you just do every now and then.
  You are very humble and balanced in your approach.
  You have often been told if you wheren't so humble you could have gone far..However they don't realize that you enjoy where you are, you are at ease.
  
  lol this is getting a personality analysis.
  
  That's enough, breakfest time! Cheers!
  Voltaire
  

• gingersoul said on May 01, 2009....

  Voltaire......let's see....
  I do enjoy poetry, i would love to have a garden on my own, with herbs and all, so yes, i do love flowers.
  You are right about my hobbies: they are few but i am passionate about them (reading, writing, movies, music, news, photography, cooking and art in general).
  I am a sucker for beauty...i try to recognize her specially in the little things...its the detail that matters...
  
  I  have one daughter. Paranormal interests me but i am not a freak about it. I believe that we don't use our brain in the right amount and that some of our experiences could be greatly enhanced in case.
  Humble? I wouldn't go that far......lol....
  Let's say that i keep my proud self awareness at bay and i tend not to brag about my good qualities. I am a severe judge of my own flaws though. So i am expecting a lot from others. But i do like humble people. They are my kind.
  And you are right....i constantly hear that i should recognize more my skills and give them more credit.
  Another thing you guessed right: i don't need to go in vacation because i am rarely bored. But i love to travel.
  My dream house is indeed in the country side bu at a very short distance from the beach...i am a sea creature...:-)
  
  Pretty good yourself, i have to say..:-)
     
  

• Voltaire said on May 03, 2009....

  Good to hear, GingerSoul. I was expecting good results, to be honest.
  
  Catch you later,
  Voltaire
  

• gingersoul said on May 03, 2009....

  Any time....:-)
  
  And now its my time to say "Time for breakfast"
  
  Have a great Sunday time....;-p.

• Voltaire said on May 04, 2009....

  Monday here. ,:-)
  Had breakfast already.
  
  You to have a good one. ;-D
  

• gingersoul said on May 04, 2009....

  Oh , coincidence of the coincidences....LOL....it's Monday here too....

  Hey, we do live on the same planet you and I......;-P

• Voltaire said on May 05, 2009....

  Heck yeah, that's one heck of a coincidence, wonder how probable that is?! ;-)

• gingersoul said on May 06, 2009....

  LOL.....so.....this brings yet another twist to our conversation....
  
  Are the things that change us , or we are the ones changing the things?
  Is the world around us that is shaped based on our perspective, or we perceive the reality based only on its?
  
  And in this flow of thinking...what is a coincidence then?
  

• Voltaire said on May 08, 2009....

  Are the things that change us , or we are the ones changing the things?
  
  Both. We act -things react. Things act -We react.
  
  Is the world around us that is shaped based on our perspective, or we perceive the reality based only on its?
  
  I have treated the topic of reality already; here
  Our lives shape us, our "shape" makes out how we perceive reality.
  
  what is a coincidence then?
  Coincidence is a event that has a low probability to happen, but always happen when least expected. ;-P
  
  Regards,
  Voltaire
  

• gingersoul said on May 11, 2009....

  So...if i don't want to change anything, everything stays the same..,..but what if i do want to change and yet the reality doesn't allow me to change?
  Shouldn't simply be changed by my desire to change it?
  
  After all.... a car doesn't simply start because we want it..
  We might want to start the engine but the car is broke.
  .
  So......our reality is: want to go.
  The reality of the cars is: i am broke, can't go.
  
  Yet, you could argue.."Since you want the car to start, you will initiate the action that will eventually lead to fix it. So your action will make the car start soon or later".
  
  Sometimes i found it depressing and overly looming that everything had to start from me.
  Where is the bliss of blindly following directions?
  Because some days i don't have the motivation for doing anything, less than less fixing a broken car....:-)
  
  I like that definition of coincidence.....it does make sense....
  
  

• Voltaire said on May 12, 2009....

  Desiring something does not relate to any action except mental.
  Which has little to no effect really. The real world is not in your head.
  
  As for that everything has to start from you, be glad, it means you can effect your surroundings to some degree. ;-)
  Rather that then be a slave of something, if you ask me.
  
  But does that also mean that you are responsible for your actions?
  I say, yes.
  
  
  

• gingersoul said on May 13, 2009....

  Volt.........mas oui, of course yes...i say yes as well...
  
  And me asking some blindfolded walk in the wood...it was highly sarcastic, but yet...;-p
  
  Plus, i prefer being blindfolded for other more pleasurable purposes....lol...
  

• Voltaire said on May 13, 2009....

  Hehe, Volt, shocking.
  
  
  As for walking blindfolded in the woods, oh well better wear a helmet I guess.
  
  Plus, i prefer being blindfolded for other more pleasurable purposes....lol..
  
  You don't like seeing the guy? Ouch, bad critique if you'd ask me.
  
  
  
  Of course, you did not want me to interpret it that way, but just for fun I did. ;-P
  
  To conclude, this world is a interesting one, that's for sure. ,:-)
  

• gingersoul said on May 13, 2009....

  Well....actually....if i had to choose my fav ...my fantasy would be blidnfolding the guy.......i like to be invisible...;-)

  I wrote a post about this particular topic......go around and look for it...:-)

  I used to have recurrent dreams during which i was this invisible entity who could get in and get out of other people homes without being noticed....you know, i could walk around around, curious of everything and hop from a home to another one....

  I think Soulcast is giving me an outlet  for this kind of fantasy, in a way.....

  I consider each bloggers post their homes...they can invite me or i can invite them in.....or i can lock the door and don't let them go out anymore or get in...;-p

  My super hero is the Invisible Woman, did i tell you?

  This world is indeed wonderful, my dear Voltaire....just wonderful...too bad we are unable to really appreciate it at its best most of the time... ...

  Do you have any fantasy?

  
  

   

   

   

• Voltaire said on May 14, 2009....

  Hehe, I see.
  
  My fantasy, is quite common I guess, finding true love.
  A really old classic, don't you agree?
  
  SC is giving me a chance to bring out my ideas without dump founding my pals.
  They don't know this "side" of me.
  
  

• gingersoul said on May 14, 2009....

  Lol....typical man....lol...
   
  Hiding the true feelings even to your friends....
  Its amazing how you boys act pretty much all the same...;-D
   
  Nothing scare you guys more than the idea of spending one hour talking about what you really are and want and feel with a person of your same sex......
  I still found it so funny...
   
  I am glad you found this place because, believe me....if you want to dump..this is the perfect place ...to dump and being dumped....lol.....
  Its almost 3 years that i am here .....trust me ....
   
  So...this brings up another question.....if your pals dont see this side of you, which side of you they see?
   
  And.....has true love ever found you? 
   
  Oh, you are trapped....lol... 

• Voltaire said on May 15, 2009....

  Hehe, well I can't deny having in common traits with other guys, being human myself.
  
  Hiding my true feelings to my friends?
  No, think of me like a colour, I have many shades/nuances.
  And most of my friends are shallow friendships, temporary really.
  
  Your glad I found this place? How come?
  I'm not after dumping anything, nor anyone. lol
  
  Ah a veteran blogger eh?
  
  They see "the public" side of me, shallowness at it's best.
   Well, ok not really.
  They see "most" of me, just not all.
  
  Yeah trapped, you wish.
  The answer was in my previous post. ;-)
  It is my fantasy, not reality.
   I have loved a few times but never received anything back.
  
  How about you? Have you meet true love?
