VOLUNTEERING
Violet only loved unspoiled, natural terrain...every evening roaming in nature's GARDEN.
Well, I consider myself somewhat of a social scientist too - in that I do love to observe and find trends sort of interesting. But I also have to admit I can be sort of an iconclast (out of it) by choice. I used to be aware of every little thing that went on - sort of like a newshound - some days I kid you not I would read four or five newspapers cover to cover - even the frigging sports. But it all gets to be too much sometimes-depressing.
Now the only piece of news I feel that I've missed out on that I care about knowing is what Halle Berry named her baby - did she go weird or traditional? (just kidding).
You assume wrongly - I'm not enamored of too easy divorce. I take commitment to something or someone very seriously. That's why I've only ever been married once.
In terms of women acting like men - I think people should be free to be who they are. I do believe in manners - and I was raised to act like a lady by my mother - I'm teaching my daughter the same things - but I have no say or control over what other people teach their children.
When I say that the whole thing seems kind of sad and desperate sometimes - I'm just looking at trends too. As emotional commitment and connection seem to have fallen by the wayside- it seems that the incidence of depression in our society has skyrocketed.
I can only assume there might be a correlation in people who can't make emotional connections (as well as physical/sexual) and so are sad - and maybe even desperate for sensation of some sort with anyone.
I don't talk about God with people who don't have respect for the idea. That's something I won't share or put out there for ridicule. I was going to write something about why I like to go to church on that specific thread though.
