Indeed, I bet you never thought I'd be this capable of having such profound thoughts But I did tell you a while back that I'm a deep thinker

1) I totally agree there has to be some physical connection but in what aspect of physical are you talking about? Facial, figure, or both? Being someone who's not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye figure-wise, I'm always interested to know what goes on in the mind of someone of the opposite sex. I've had the smiles and eye catches from people when I've been in the car and then see the drop in expression when they've seen me outside of the car. It angers and saddens me more than feeling hurt, that someone can judge by what someone else looks like without even wanting to acknowledge what that person has been through first. By the way, this isn't geared towards a fight with you, it's not meant to anger, before I dig myself a big hole They say that first impressions count and don't judge a book by its cover. True, but which is the first impression? The looks or the ability to communicate? And I agree with the book/cover aspect. A beautiful cover may hold nothing but blank pages whereas a torn, ripped and well used cover may hold a deeper more beautiful meaning inside.

You also say love is forever, but I would have to say that it depends on the sort of love. Unconditional to a partner/child, or the love of a friend. Personally, the only true love I have any more is reserved solely for my children, it's unconditional and no matter what they do in their lives as they develop, my love for them will always remain. The love I had for my partner however, well that isn't forever, I thought it was in the very beginning but things change, people change and love can die and not be forever in those instances. Maybe, reading that, I never truly found the love of my life despite thinking I had all those years ago as a naive teenager.

Sheesh, I do get myself into some complicated situations!

2) As children we are more open to suggestion simply because we know no different, and by growing up we do lose that innocence, mainly because we live in such a fucked up world now but also because we're almost programmed through the early years of the education system to fit in with the crowd and follow the leader, rather than following our own instincts and making our mark on society right from the beginning. Even at a very early age we have our own thoughts about whether we like something or not, it's what happens in our lives from then on in as to how those though thoughts progress into actions. It will be interesting to see whether my opinion on this matter changes once my own children start the long route of the education system this year

WoW! I think this has to be the longest journal reply I've ever done! Are you impressed considering it's after 11pm

Love and kisses
