Lessons learned and a friend revered
I have been a woman of a certain age and on my own for years. And for years I've considered myself a strong person, one who can cope with anything life throws at me, a survivor. To be sure, several recent personal experiences have not displaced these long-prized attributes. But these male-female encounters have forced me to acknowledge a definite fragile emotionality,
They've also served to reinforce and indeed add several items to one special list.
I HATE:
- Anger
- Argument
- Backed into corners
- Being baited
- Bullying
- Criticism
- Deception
- Deceit
- Distrust
- Glibness
- Lies
- Pretended understanding
- Taking without giving back
Still, I remain positive. And I am thankful and eternally grateful for one very special man who I've known for 30 years and who's never taken advantage, always been supportive and now proven yet again to be a for-real friend, the kind we all need in our life.
Positively,
Carolan

That is quite a list, especially when one considers how foolish men can be in their relationships with women.
The very people that the creator has placed on earth for us to be each others help mate(s), and to enjoy in a mutual way. Where no one up on your partner is the order of the day.
I have learned this lesson for myself through my school of hard knocks and broken heart as a result of my folly. Moreover, the carnage left behind is no less damaging then the dropping of a bomb in the middle of a crowed street in Manhattan.
Yes, respect to the best of ones ability should be our mantra when dealing with our precious women, ladies, and young girls that share the planet with us.
Men should also remember that we are human and mistakes may be made, when this happens, with all possible speed, "man up" and tell your opposite that you are sorry and ask for forgiveness and try to not let the behavior become a staple in dealings with the opposite sex. By the way ladies, "what is good for goose is also good for the gander"
In this regard, we should all be able to get along.
Agape,
