Remember the best of it and forget the rest of it.
God pity them both and pity us all
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall
Of all sad words of tongue and pen
The saddest are these " what might have been"
Maud Muller
John Greenleaf Whittier
I've never mourned the one who got away [as they say] because I have never met him. I had a lot of faith that it would happen one day but I think my destiny has twisted a few too many times. Without going into detail it is my belief that we live a karmic circle of the zodiac. We have to do it right in all the twelve lifetimes or we are compelled to go around again until we do. I am a Pisces which makes me an old soul. This is the twelfth life for me and I did not find my soul mate or make my contribution required to pass on. I am starting to resign myself to the fact that it may not be the time for me. After a while even if you did find them there may not be time to do anything about it.
Linda Goodman's Sun Signs explains some of this theory but it a combination of different philosophies that I base this on.
I don't believe in organized religion, priest , rabbi , minister they are just men , nothing more. Some of the most so called religious people I knew were pieces of filth who hid behind their religious affiliations while they practiced abhorrent behaviour.
At least with my beliefs everyone gets another chance to do it right. They just have to keep doing it until they do. That is hell to me. But the higher power I believe in doesn't judge you by how much you put into the collection plate but in how much you contribute to the greater good. What God has no mercy ? Not mine, my God doesn't want to be feared. My God loves me and forgives my sins and gives me as many chances as it takes. The same goes for you too. All you need to do is keep trying till you get it right.
Cheers, Amelie
