I won't argue now, who was crankier ; )

The people who touched me most in my life were those who blew it & then fell in remorse over their blunders...I am surrounded in "real life" by people, who trample on others feet & don't even say sorry...may be I am wrong or becoming senile, but I think people became more rude?!

Well, sometimes I get heated up for nothing, because I misinterpret the other side, often it's better to ask, to clarify things.

envy childlike faith? I had greater envy once in my life too...out of admiration grew also envy for not having something similar...however certain things can't be it seems & I shouldn't pretend everything is there for my asking...at least not for now it seems to me

However, quite a few things are there for the asking...you & I call it faith...it happens to be a gift...I am convinced, that it grows under good circumstance, which we also influence, it seems...like flowers in the garden.

My flowers on my balconey are simply a shameful, dreadful sight...I couldn't cope with all the duties, so they withered..poor things...I love flowers & hope next season to invest more time, to do it right...anyway, just to say, where there is a will, there is a solution...I for one know, that I'd be completely lost in this egomanic world, if I wouldn't have words, which point me to the alternative...although it's hard, I know it's harder without it...may be sheep need greener pastures than the goats & cows I saw in India...ain't a "farmer" ; )

Anyway, that's what loneliness can do to you, a looking for comfort & love & as far as I am concerned, I stopped expecting that of human beings, even if it's nice to get it from them, but men are unreliable & so it's better to have a working link with what I call the constructor of little self/me...I'd say faith grows out of a needy situation...someone who thinks to have it all doesn't need any "extras"

So please have all you really need, ok?!!
(And if there happens to be any mix up/misunderstanding about it, I'd try my best to
clarify it, the way I see it)
To sum it up for now: there shouldn't be any envy for things you can have yourself, right?
