Omissions
Love never dies a natural death.... It dies of abandonment, of neglect, of blindness, of indifference, of having taken it for granted, of inanity, of not having been cultured..

Omissions are more deadly than mistakes made..

 Everything in life can change in ways we never imagined would be pissible. Cherish what you have. While you have.

 Sometimes it wasn't really love.

Sometimes, it really wasn't. We only wanted so much that it was.

 You are not the sort of person who would do such. I hope you are nit feeling abandoned and so forth. You are one to be cherished.

DD, you are very kind. Thank you. I got past that feeling of being abandoned. Only first time it felt as I have been abandoned.
Every next time it was like deja vu

This is such a true quote and Nin was so wise!

Like DD, I hope you are not feeling abandoned!!

I loved the quote, too, Jenny, so pleased that you find it worth reading and wise as well
All good at this end, Jenny and hopefully the same is at yours too.

 I loved the thought of love being cultured.......


ExNameForUse replies on 2/23/2023 10:20 am:
Being cultured should be, and it was, a norm, a minimum of minimums... but something has changed... or people changed... values changed... things are not the same...

 sad but true least forget the hope & dreams squashed w the sadness & pain they caused & left behind in their wake!

It is all life, BDD. We are not all the same, people do different things, sometimes without obvious reasons, sometimes not knowing why, sometimes they are simply careless...

 These omissions listed are honest because they are not done with intent. They seem the result of taking things obliviously. When omissions are intentional those are called lies. Even though the results are devastating in either case, you can take some comfort in knowing the omissions were not intentional.

I am not sure I agree with Anais Nin. I would say that those omissions listed are indeed mistakes in behavior and how one interacts with another.


ExNameForUse replies on 2/23/2023 10:32 am:
I am not sure, Ryder... is it possible that an adult, who is supposedly committed and devoted to relationship with you/me, anyone... can be oblivious about omissions... not aware of consequences that they may cause... I am not sure about that, Ryder.
We can all be careless at times, for various reasons, but not that long to make love and trust slowly to fade until they die.
If it comes to that point, it was a conscious decision.

 Cherish what you have

I have little doubt you do this with everything in your life, not just the people.

This blog will make people reflect on what they have and how they treat it.

I try to show to those important to me how important they are to me.
It brings peace to me, and hopefully to them as well, to know they are cherished and appreciated, accepted, and loved.
I guess it is the utmost we can do for another person.

 I heard once that lying by omission is still a betrayal. Some of the worst lies are by omission, the passive act of misleading by failing to disclose relevant information.
Either way, a lie is a lie.

"the passive act of misleading" - manipulation at its finest. Can't be any worse with disastrous mental and emotional long term consequences.

I wrote a post once about "lies and omissions" quite a while ago, but I can't locate my original draft.
