I agree the lack of love for ourselves keeps us from being the best we can be.

So true! You are very courageous to walk away from someone that would probably not be of much help to you in your life.

Sounds like it's a great place to explore the sites and to try new food. Thanks for sharing.

In response to "And I would have gotten away"

Very moving. I have no answers but I face similar questions. Was it worth it?

I moved away and never went back...

In response to "Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn & caldron bubble"

I admire you for your honesty and attitude on this subject. It's so true how the victims/survivors have been treated as the one's who have done the wrong and blamed unjustly.
Very few have had compassion towards the woman.

I was 19 , when it was over given the gun that was held on me. The police wanted to charge me for having it. They treated me like dirt and I left before the rape kit came. I went back to work and didn't talk about for decades except to my best friend.
Thanks for understanding...

In response to "“There’s a little witch in all of us.” "

"[...] over-protected children are more likely to struggle in relationships and
with challenges." This is what happened to me. My mom died when I was 8 and my dad was WAY over-protective and strict. I never experienced being independent. I know my dad loved me, but he never allowed me to fly. Perhaps that is why I love writing!

I'm glad I decided to read this!

Thanks for sharing.

Very clever 😁! What really is a horse of another color anyway?! I enjoyed this post, it's unique and not the usual thing. Nice to see another take on expressing one's self.
Write ✍️ on indeed!

In response to "Fly little butterfly. It is time"

Beautiful reminder that we change and grow though experiences both bad and good, pleasant and unpleasant.

Who is a sage?

A MINISTER OF THE KINGDOM of Shang came to visit Confucius. Never one to beat around the bush, the minister always asked questions in a blunt and straightforward way. So the moment he saw Confucius he asked, “Are you a sage?”
Confucius replied, “I do not dare to claim to be one. I’m only someone who has studied much and read widely.”
“Then were the Three Kings sages?”
“The Three Kings knew how to use their courage and intelligence. Whether they were sages I would not know.”
“What about the Five Emperors?”
“The Five Emperors knew how to rule with virtue. Were they sages? I do not know.”
“How about the Three Lords? Were they sages?”
“The Three Lords knew how to use the right people at the right time. It’s not for me to say whether they were sages or not.”
The minister was beginning to get impatient. “Then who do you think is a sage?”
Confucius would not be hurried, so he waited until the minister calmed down again and replied, “Maybe far away in the West is a person who doesn’t talk about the art of government and yet his country is orderly and peaceful. He rarely speaks about promises but he is trusted by all. He does not use force, so everything runs smoothly. His heart is open and his actions are spontaneous. His subjects don t even know what to call him. I suspect he is a sage, but that he is truly a sage I would not know.”
When the minister of Shang heard this, he was not pleased. He went away thinking to himself, “It doesn’t make sense. This fellow Confucius must be fooling me.”
Does it really matter if someone is recognized as a sage or not? If you are truly honest, sincere, and upright in everything you do, do you need others to acknowledge your virtues to make you virtuous?
