Maybe that's why it ended up as anonymous. <br /><br />I had forgetten that January is ad hominem month.Evgeniihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787950777870804904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938111942632962223.post-67034031422714899992011-01-26T08:52:04.430-06:002011-01-26T08:52:04.430-06:00Wow, Anonymous, I realize that I am by no means pe...Wow, Anonymous, I realize that I am by no means perfect, but I have never been characterized as the coldest person anyone has ever met. That's quite an accusation.<br /><br />I'm really not sure how to respond to that... <br /><br />And thank-you for posting anonymously so now I have to look at everyone I know and wonder if that person has some deep-seated trust issues with me. That's going to make my month go well.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268015210205721725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938111942632962223.post-60968895784568130122011-01-25T15:27:51.159-06:002011-01-25T15:27:51.159-06:00Ironic, coming from the coldest person I ever met....Ironic, coming from the coldest person I ever met.

I think spending an inordinate time on anything that isolates us, this is only two examples, there are more. In order to overcome this we must spend time with our children serving those in our neighborhoods, cities and communities. Service is the cure in my opinion.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774146427318731877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938111942632962223.post-41810485686021610332010-10-11T10:16:45.740-05:002010-10-11T10:16:45.740-05:00Sometimes I wonder if our love is waxing cold from...Sometimes I wonder if our love is waxing cold from generation to generation...i.e. not as much that we personally gain a certain amount and then lose it.<br /><br />If that is the case it would be hard to ever know if it is happening and to what extent (outside of viewing statistical analysis about marriages, etc.). I can't say how 40-year olds loved their fellow man in the 1900's.<br /><br />Love is interesting on many levels. It can't really be taught, and it doesn't automatically come. Once you have it, it grows and you realize what you had before wasn't anything compared to what you have now. From this, you can see that love comes in degrees. Would we notice if we were at a low degree when we haven't contemplated a higher one?<br /><br />I have a coherent thought somewhere, but can't express it. Oh well.
