- James,
-
- prudence dictates that you back off on this one.
-
- I will skip past my usual posting method and point
- out that there is a lot of unintended irony in your
- kivetch about 'religion.' You might take the time to
- pause and check that you have not gored any of your
- own sacred cows.
-
- When it comes to Core Values, it is prudent NOT to
- go wandering a field in pursuit of 'romance.'
-
- That someone else may have come to a position that they
- hold a set of core values very distinct from your own
- is no reason to go deriding them for advancing that
- they have those core values, and that they are looking
- for those core values in someone they wish to be most
- deeply and intimately involved with.
-
- I may chide my lady friend from time to time, in private
- and on the net, about her failure to understand some
- specific point from my "well just EVERYONE knows" list
- of details. But I would feel safe to say, that when we
- get down to real core values, rather than implementation
- specific details, we do NOT compromise. [1]
-
- May you be so fortunate, that you are able to come to
- understand YOUR OWN core values, as well as to be able
- to share them with someone special in your life.
-
- ciao

-
- [1] I will leave to my lady friend her 'bragging rights' as
- to why I consider her within my core value group. Suffice it
- to say that when we all went off to her mother's birthday
- party, and her brother showed up in Black BSU's with
- the sniper patch on the shoulder.... I knew I was home.
