It seems to me entirely appropriate that my [still theoretical] wife will not like “me” in a pure world-of-forms sense, but only for that which I am and do for her. <br>In other words, what is the essence of “Me” but a sum of the parts—some of which serve the children/wife/community/self/God, some of which do not. <br>A ridiculous example, what could it possibly mean to love a girlfriend if she’s chosen obesity, cruelty, verbal abuse; to sterilize herself from ever procreating; and to obstruct everything good about me? Of course this would never happen, but how can one separate loving “her” from all that which she is choosing? <br>The same, how can she love “‘me” irrespective of what I seem am and do? <br>Isn’t the threat of losing the other’s affections a great incentive to stay good oneself? <br>My position: I am a man (early 20’s) excited to be “me plus” because without the plus, there is no “‘me” to be valued. What am I missing? <br> <br> <br>long time subscriber here, I have trouble not getting down with things out of my control. <br>My truck i just paid off got totalled by some uninsured guy and the payout was quite unfair (70% value of $21,000 vehicle) from my insurance company. I had full coverage. <br>This was out of my hands but I still got depressed for a couple months because I felt cheated by the situation. <br>Any advice from you/philosophy on how to prevent this from happening? <br>Thank you for everything you do. My life has been 1000% improved since I started listening to you 10 years ago.
