Surrender

Of course, surrender is individual – some accepting of confinement for war – while others, for love willing to relinquish all freedoms – men and women often confounding the two: love-making a too and fro battle of sorts, of who will hold out the longest. So much of man's nature satisfied less by our endless competitions Best no substitute for happiness

And you’re right…it is a competition…why do we do this to each other? Good one!

Ego: keeps us from higher knowledge, starts us on the road to higher knowledge. Keeps us from God, leads us back to a path toward God. Keeps us from love...and eventually leads us to surrender.

Thank you, Vie; too much emphasis on performance these days. I like my slightly overweight friends, who know how to cook, over all my thin fashion plates.... Just me. What can I say....

It's a wonder to me, why folks, more often than not, choose the destructive uncaring way. Oh well...it is what it is. Blessings my friend.
