The Tenderness only Belongs to You

The Tenderness only Belongs to You

On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a “Reggie Jackson jersey”. This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving or a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity. Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has “come between” oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of Jackson jersey, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.

But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the Mariano Rivera jersey. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any “Mussina jersey” has appeared on the scene. We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children “belonging” to their parents. But nobody “belongs” to anyone else.

But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed Lou Gehrig jersey. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets, laugh more, Gehrig jersey Life must be lived as we go along. Of course, I didn't suggest we go there, and so we didn't, and the relationship came to its natural end. Looking back I don't think the place could have breathed new life into anything at the time, anyway, but what's striking to me is that, for a moment, I was certain that a place had the power to do so. Such is the power of a Mike Mussina jersey, private space.
