Why are adult love relationships so hard?




Why are adult love relationships so hard?

I think they are hard because they are dependent
on virtue to have a long-lasting and fulfilling one.
Aristotle himself believed that only when two virtuous
people meet can they have a successful and happy
relationship, this is true of love and friendship.

What then follows from this finding is that virtue although
in off itself a great good, also delivers a pivotal end being 
long-lasting and happy relationships for human beings.
This in many ways accounts for why the virtuous flourish
and achieve eudiamonia, while others don’t.

If Aristotle is correct the core reason for having a relationship
will be not to enjoy anothers wealth or good looks but to share
in each others virtues and increase our virtue and our partner theirs
from our shared contact and connection.

So it seems like flowers that never flourish and bloom in isolation, 
humanity also needs friends and lovers of a virtuous nature to share life
and experience with and only through long-lasting relationships 
can the good life be achieved by virtuous people and not persons.

In defence of Aaron Smith and Why we Shouldn't be so quick to Judge Others


When someone makes a mistake don't jump on them
understand why they did it and what thinking process lead to the action. Then see if there is a way to help them not make the same mistake again and again. Always try and show compassion to those who screw up within limits because you will one day find yourself with the roles reversed.You have be warned! Trial by public opinion is a brutal reality enabled by mass media and it's crooked lens. Nothing sells more newspapers than a glamourized individual caught in a scandal regardless of circumstance. When you are looking at something or someone else's personal failure you would be surprised to know how much relevant information you are missing on which you form your prejudiced conclusion on. Be slow to cast a stone at another but when you do give it a good throw haha

Broken computer people

the greatest pain is seeing someone you love
hurt by someone they think loves them back

when they don't, they couldn't, they never learnt how to do it properly
aka like a fully functioning human being
Most of these broken computer people go mad or end up alone
They never change cause they can't reflect on the errors of their ways
blinded by false bravado and narcissistic flowers
lost in maternal disarray is no excuse for never being held as a child
some people would turn and run choose to save themselves
but others stay (like me)
after fright or flight dissipates
the drive to banish evil festers great
like a rock that is only slightly worn by waterways
hope springs eternal like a red summers day
some people will never see the errors of their ways
For the real world is beautiful or cloaked in grey
