What I have learned:
It is better to know than to believe.
It is better to be loved, than to know.
It is better to be alive, than to be loved.
To be alive, is to believe. So....
Scientists found a fossil of sex that is a billion years old -- a kind of fungal algae symbiont actually in the act of "doing it" with separate male and female parts. I often have misunderstandings with Rebecca, and this morning I even got "angry" because she was vacuuming and it was early and I did not have the chance to escape out of the house which I can do when she is running that screaming device which strips my brain cells. I feel this is the one thing I ask -- to not have to listen to a screaming vacuum cleaning machine. So, she is ready, and she says, well she is not too happy to have to do the vacuuming. So I got angry. I felt she had deliberately PLANNED to challenge the one thing I asked of her, and it may be trouble, it may even be stupid, but it is important to me. She does it anyway. Of course, my anger was rubbed in my face the rest of the day. In ironic ways. Every event that raises up anger, really seems trivial when you look at it, think about it. Of COURSE men and women look at things differently.
PLAYING TRUMPET. It has to be hard to understand that when your husband picks up a trumpet and blasts away for 5" on acoustic intervals that may in some way sound heroic, he is trying to be encouraging, although in fact what he is is irritating and nerve-wracking when you need him to help prepare for the dinner party you are putting on practically single-handedly....
VACCUMING. It has to be difficult to grasp the importance of vaccuming the house BEFORE the guests arrive. Not after, when the place is really dirty. Certainly not during, when the effort might be seen but not appreciated.
