I was Changed.

I remember reading a chain email that says something about the kind of virtues women should find in their life partners (other than wondering if we have one of those ourselves); that he is not just kind to strangers but also to his own parents.

It is a long list, if you get someone who fits all, then you found an angel, you'd enjoy that if you are an angel yourself. If you get someone that fits fairly half of them, i think it is fair to say you've met someone as imperfect as you are --which is just perfect!

Long ago I thought these philosophical mumbo jumbos are made out by people who had sky high expectations. But now when I look at it without cynical thoughts, I think the meaning is quite simple and acceptable. It is easy to portray kindness to strangers. But to pretend to be kind to one's own parents?

It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognising that
their feelings towards other people are largely determined by their feelings
towards themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be
comfortable with others.

You, you make no mistake
You take everything I ever wanted into account
When you walk into the room
You give room breathing room
Talk and turn never too late or too soon

You are poetry in motion
You inspire power and devotion
You are the turning of the tide underneath
You are the potential in me

You are the first one that I wish to tell
Everything that matters, matters because you reflect it back so well,
You see understanding wherever you are standing
Between reason and passion - balance

You are my strongest link
You are everything I ever wanted to be

You are poetry in motion
You inspire power and devotion
You are the turning of the tide underneath
