Two way streets, not tar and cement but metaphorical.

  I love balance. Star Wars is all about balance, the fight between the good and bad side of the force. Being ok is about balance in my mind... because it's ok to not be ok all the time. Ok? Peachy

  I've learnt to survive. I've taken some pretty serious knocks in the last year, it seemed like I was losing the fight, but I refused to give up. Financially I'm talking about, which has a knock on effect, and experienced some unforgiveable acts, it seems when you're that poor, there are some who take advantage and gleefully bury you further, not having any understanding of what they are actually doing, which was taking food out of my mouth and my son's. So the balance wasn't there, they had control. However, through sheer determination and blind faith, one step forward, two steps backward, has now become two steps forward and one step bavkwards. I have kept the roof over my head, still a struggle but not nearly as desperate as it was. The balance has now returned. I'm not as vulnerable to being burned, so have regained some control. I agree also regarding love, respect, whether in a relationship or a casual fb thing, respect and a healthy little dose of love still have to be there for me. Coming from one, no it will never work

  A two way street and the balance, as mentioned above are not exactly what I was getting at.Take respect for example. Respect can be given but but not demanded, paradoxically it can be "commanded".If we like each other then a mutual respect can grow and exist, nothing new there.Moving along then maybe you're part of some organisation, exactly what doesn't matter here but the point is that, being an organisation, it has a hierarchy and those at the top of the pecking order have a higher profile. Also those at the top are better known by their subordinates than vice versa, as a result the seniors are better known than the rest. If the seniors are any good then they will, for want of a better word "command" respect from the rest of the group. So respect can be earned, commanded and in some lesser circumstance it can be " demanded" so respect has a distinct "flow" from the respector to the respectee, if it is not not mutual then there will be no balance...So if you consider the above examples you see that potentially respect can flow one way or the other or flow flow both ways in a variable proportionAh fuck now I've gone and confused myself...Does anybody else see the point I'm struggling to make?

  Unrequited LOVE... unconditional love..call you what you wish. BUT.. I still call it a disease.. "Co-dependency"respect and loyalty in a relationship of any kind? like any OTHER cliché..A disease.(AND.. for your information.. there are people who HATE my guts.. but I respect them.. and vice Versa..)BUT.. you go on believing what you say, and hoping some confused woman will believe you too.I will still call your post BS..

  I wasn't entirely sure what you meant in your first post Phil but balance is always fun. I've been thinking about this post during the day (I have a disgustingly busy mind). Trust is what was hammering away at me but wasn't sure how to say it. All the stuff that makes a relationship work would surely come under that. Conversation. Sharing. I think you gave an actual example there Cavey (sorry mate! :-D) because the visa versa made it a two way street. Cheers, Peachy

  Giving provides reward in and of itself. Some people don't have the capacity for reciprocal returns and besides, I'm more of a pay it forward kind of guy. Share the love, baby. In a world so full of mean, irritated, angry and selfish people, those of us who can, must change it. HugsGaz

  Along with conversation and sharing. I pulled them out of the successful relationship handbook. Guess I hit the nail on the head with that one. I tried But you seem disaffected, so I'll leave you to it. 🚙💨🚦🚗🚕🚓 🍑

  Some like driving the wrong way down one way streets, and then they wonder why they keep bashing into everyone head on. 🚧 🍑
