Stuff

Stuff, stuff, love the stuff, 

but who do you love??

Stuff is easy to love because; 

stuff is yours, 

stuff rarely changes,

stuff does not talk back, 

stuff does not have feelings 

that can be hurt,

stuff can be discarded, 

and you can change your stuff without asking.

Loving another person is not like loving stuff.

You do not own another person.

You may have an invested interest in a mate or

an obligation to a child or parent, but not ownership.

People are going to grow and change and you must learn to accept the changes

and grow with them or detach and move on with life.

People have thoughts and feelings and to love another is to allow them to think and feel

and to want to have them honestly share their ideas and emotions with you.

You do not discard a love like you would an old pair of shoes.

You can only ask for another person to change, you cannot make them change.

To love another person is to love their quirks, their habits,

their way of thinking and their way of feeling.

Treat sensitive , insecure, paranoid people with kindness.

Stay away from mean people.

Treat old friends, the ones who know you well, the same way you want to be treated.

"No object is so beautiful that,
under certain conditions,
it will not look ugly."  ~ Oscar Wilde

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Stuff or people, love what you love.

Do not be envious of other peoples stuff or of their loves.

Do not allow gluttony or obsessive behaviors make

you become over stuffed with your own stuff.

"Jealousy would be far less torturous
if we understood that love is a passion
entirely unrelated to our merits.”  ~ Paul Eldridge

Love a balanced life; love self, love others, love stuff,

and love your Higher Power, who gave you everything.

You need to know why you love something,

you do not need to know why somebody loves you.

You must love the stuff that makes you happy.

Love those people and the stuff that makes you a better person,

the person God wants you to be.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
