Do you happen to have a doctorate it psychology ? You certainly come off trying to sound that way. You follow me around to all, every single one, of my posts and you make some snippy, snide remark. Hmm ? I wonder who has the problem ?
Do I need your approval ? My answer is, simple.
You just went on my ignore list. From now on, as far as I'm concerned, you don't even exist. So, post away. I'll not see a word of it.

Do you believe in fate ?
I don't believe in Tarot cards, astrology, beings from other planets watching us, fortune tellers, voodoo, ghosts, or the alternate universe of liberalism, but I am beginning to wonder about fate.
The classic Greek Tragedies deal with some fatal flaw in the main protagonist, such as pride, which eventually, inevitably brings about his final downfall. The difference between tragedy and tragic is--- inevitability. Take, for example, the common habitual drunk driver. He may get away with it for many years but eventually, inevitably he will either kill himself or some innocent person.
Thus, we can say that the life of a drunk driver was fated to end in tragedy. Pure fate, however, is quite different. Take, for example, the case of a lonely person. He or she would love to find "Mr. or Miss Right" and for several years they attempt to find that right person, without success. And then one fine summer day, as if by magic, that right person is suddenly standing before them and it all happened by freak accident.
Once, many years ago, I wanted. ever so much to find my soul mate. Oh, yes, I dated, but that certain "specialness" was always missing. Then one Saturday afternoon I decided, on the spur of the moment, to stop by and say hello to a friend. I pulled up to the curb, parked my car, and was walking toward my friends home. As I neared his walkway, I saw a vision of loveliness leaving his house. Our eyes locked for a moment and I thought I detected
the faintest of smiles. The way I remember it, my heart stopped beating, my jaw dropped and I could not breathe. An exaggeration ? Perhaps.
At that precise moment my friend rounded the corner of his house and spotted me. I quickly moved to him, grabbed his arm and said. "Who is THAT ? My God, she is stunning". He replied, "Oh, just a friend of the family". Now my heart was racing and I excitedly said, "Please, please introduce me to her. The rest as they say, is history. We married less than a year later.
Was that fate ? What if I had missed the green traffic light and I had been delayed by one single minute. She and I would never have met. Fate ? I can't say with 100% certainty, but I feel, in my heart, it was.

I find your opening post a little 'manufactured', clinical even! There is no lightness, just heaviness and just too perfect!!

Baker man I love your story .

How lovely you both found each other x

Bakerman, l think the reason you may be getting the disappointing reaction is because, most of us are realists and believe in, 'if it's too good to be true, then it usually is!'

Annie, I hope you take this in the friendly spirit which I intend. I too believe in the laws of science however
in this case I say, poo on science.

Once thousands a years ago my wife and I were a single spirit streaking across the heavens. Somehow, we split apart and fell to earth as two widely separated half souls. Generation after generation we drifted, always wondering but never knowing where our other half was. Finally, on one warm summer day, we met again, and joined together in unbounded joy.

Ok. You win. I give up. It seems I don't measure up to your high standards.

Your first post was very touching and i was about to put so in a post , but then you put the second post up about flying through the heaven thousands of years ago then landing on plant earth ,
Well you must know that what you wrote seemed a bit silly , and to be truthful i did think you had taken some substance and was high as a kite .

bakerman: Sorry you felt that way. I was merely telling how I felt. NOT that flying thru the heavens actually happened. I promise to not tell any more of my life. EVER AGAIN. It never occurred to me that anyone could possibly believe that it actually happened (that bit about the heavens)
