Myths - to rid yourself from

When we grow up, we’re being taught many lessons. Some of the ideas and notions we’re being given are wrong. In the course of our life, we run into multiple situations where we are given a chance to realize it is wrong and an opportunity to adjust.

Soulmate – the 2nd half of your soul

We all heard that story about souls having been split into two, mixed around, and spread all over the planet, and now we all are looking for the second half of our incomplete soul. MYTH!

Definition of “Committed”

The definition of “committed” in general terms is quite different from “Committed” when it comes to a personal relationship. MYTH!

The Concept of “Cheating”

Similar to “committed” the traditional definition of “cheating” is… weird. It’s sole focus is on sex, even though sex is only a very, very small part of a life-partnership or even romantic relationship. 

You Are Capable of Loving Only One Person

You find your “Prince Charming” or “Sleeping Beauty” and then you spend the rest of your life loving this one person. If you were to try to love somebody else too, it would take away from the love you have for your prince/ss. Love is seen as a limited resource.MYTH!

Loneliness - Connection - Closeness

 Paolo Coelho, in his book Adultery, has the main character pondering that people, deep inside, have a loneliness that each of us is trying to deal with in the best way possible. I can not relate to much at all about this character, but this one aspect really triggered my thoughts. I am used to describe my "condition" as "wanting to experience always another deeper connection". But, looked at it from a different perspective, it is nothing but an existential loneliness, which is there, even when I am among loved ones, or among many people. No matter where I go, what I do, there is always this longing for linking up with another person, turning another stranger into a familiar person, getting to know somebody else, connecting to another soul.  I am convinced that all the spiritual ideas floating around the world have resulted from an experience of discomfort, followed by pondering, maybe even actions whose consequences are evaluated.  My choice of belief around "

Family of the Future

History Originally, humans organized in tribes, where members took care of each other. They hunted together, gathered together, and looked out for each other.   Later, the tribe “shrunk” to a group. Up until and through the dark ages, for example, farms in Europe where autarkic - that means, they produced everything they needed, and they existed mostly independently from outside.   Towards the beginning of the 20th century, it was the extended family, who was living together and looking out for each other. Then, that social construct was replaced with the nuclear family. Instead of great-grandparents, grandparents and siblings, parents, uncles and aunts, siblings and cousins, it now was only the parents and their children, who formed the basic social unit. In the second half of the 20th century, as divorce rates started to rise, very often it was just the mother (sometimes the father) with the children. the other parent had left the unit as well. Today, there are more sing

Absolute tolerance and absolute firmness at the same time

 This, I think, is the most important lesson I learned from my parents!  My dad hates the catholic church - they have caused so much pain and suffering all through history, and misled people with their doctrines, he just despises them. My mom is a member of the catholic church. She doesn't focus on the failings, but on the good they have done. How can the two of them be in a loving, mutually supportive and respectful relationship? They somehow figured out how to be able to let the other person believe and do what they want to believe and do, and not allow the other to prevent them from doing what they want to do. They are (at least trying as good as they can) absolutely tolerant towards the other. Each allows the other to make their own choices, to have their own believes, to choose for themselves what to do and what not.  And, at the same time, they are totally firm about making their own choices. Absolute tolerance and absolute firmness at the same time! I'm trying to impleme
