Connection I ask you, what’s more, important than true connection? With it, we have the ability to cultivate a life with weight and girth. A beautifully robust life. Foster healthy relationships built upon trust, respect, kindness, and honesty, but only when we allow the most vulnerable selves to be seen. Open ourselves completely to the energy of another and give and receive without judgment. Trust and feel safe. Connection can be that which gets you through the rough patches, and the difficult conversations, and lifts you up on days you feel less than yourself. Connection strengthens us. It makes us feel valued. Heard. Connection can also heal. Remind us we aren’t alone; there is nothing more powerful than when someone hears the song inside you. “When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do.” It is a modern irony that we live in a society that has so many ways to connect, so many ways to reach out, and yet we rarely put forth the effort to build connections. We talk, post, blog, and say nothing. Unfortunately, we’ve become increasingly more insular and cut off. Cyber recluses. Connections take effort. They take time. Connections are investments and need to be nurtured. “Real relationships are the product of time spent, which is why so many of us have so few of them.” Many things, you’ll discover in time, can be short-lived. Physical attraction, money and success, and the boxes and boxes of stuff we buy to fill our misunderstood needs. Connection can transcend all that. If you find someone that gets you; listens to your heart, your fears, your everything. Someone you can drop your armor with. Be you with. Sees your worth. Someone who shares with you a mental and even spiritual connection. Someone who stirs your soul and inspires you. That is when you will see the greatness of connection. That is when you’ll know true intimacy.  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

I fear I have difficulty with this myself. I don't get along with most people in real life. I'm.... Crotchey?

I'm a great believer in connection. It's so amazing when it happens. Even the remote connections here can be uplifting and rewarding. People can tell when you really care.

Im doubtful you'll be able to cultivate a relationship of any meaning here considering most are shallow and self-absorbed. I'm sure you've already discovered all that for yourself. Get a dog, nothing will be more loyal and loving, but who knows. Perhaps you will find someone that meets your requirements for compatibility. Personally I've always put intelligence and education at the top of the list, but considering my past experience. I'd place sanity at the top, and settle for just enough intelligence and education to form words and construct sentences. I have been able to form relationships here that were very meaningful. I have found friends here where I thought I would never find them. It was a pleasant surprise. If you spend your whole time casting dispersions on things and people, you never find the beauty and magic right before you. And I don't need a dog. I have an awesome Cat. "Men need to hunt.

It is so important to go beneath the surface! "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

“Real relationships are the product of time spent, which is why so many of us have so few of them.” that is why even though we are more "connected" then ever many are so lonely so true "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

I agree with you, Jaded. I have observed, as you would expect in a diverse community, that some folks prefer unattached play and engagement. But I think most of us like to experience that connection. I do believe that our experiences become stronger and more wholesome when we create that connection. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey.

The path to knowing the difference between attachment and connection is not linear . . It is a tangled web.

Alovely piece of wisdom. I love it. This was what i was writing about, too. in give and recieve.... Like what manni_pr, says, too. Wthout the connection, is what i see, very much in the Dutch scene, they change faster from partner then from their undies..... a very big rush, to just "experience"/ buckit list activity... this, that and the other.. Not for me. Great, if that makes them happy...

“Real relationships are the product of time spent, which is why so many of us have so few of them.” Building strong and meaningful relationships is essential for leading a fulfilling life. It is through these connections with others that we find joy, support, and a sense of belonging. Whether it's with family, or friends, investing time and effort into these relationships can have a profound impact on our overall well-being. By sharing experiences, offering each other encouragement, and simply being there for one another, we create a sense of community that is so valuable in today's often disconnected world. Therefore, we should make it a priority to cultivate and nurture these relationships, for they are truly the most valuable thing we have in this existence. "Men need to hunt.
