Welcome to the cellar Old Bunyip!

Old Bunyip · 08-03-2013, 06:07 PM

Thank you Big V.
I think I have lurked long enough.
I like your Marcus Aurelius signature, too.

BigV · 08-03-2013, 08:17 PM

:-)

Thanks for your kind words about my signature, I try to live up to it each day; I confess I am confused a bit about your signature. I find trust to be a necessary part of love. I don't think I can love anyone I don't trust. The converse is true of course, there are many I trust but do not love.

Lastly, I am happy to have you paddle while I steer.

Old Bunyip · 08-03-2013, 09:23 PM

Now you are getting tricky, Big V!
I have had a pretty rugged life where many people who loved me (and I loved) let me down. Proved not worthy of my trust but I loved them for what they were. They did what they thought was best.
Now I try to love or have compassion for "many" but am aware that only "few" are really trustworthy in regard to me.
Hence the "paddling of my own canoe" = I go my own way, not someone else's.
Which means, kind Sir, if you came aboard,you would paddle while I would steer

I'm with Bunyip--there are plenty of people whom I love and accept as flawed individuals, but that doesn't mean that they have my own best interests at heart as well. I don't trust them to do the right thing in certain situations, or maybe even any situation, but I love them nonetheless.

Love many. Trust few.
Always paddle your own canoe

I couldn't agree more, and couldn't have said it better.

Quote:

The Great Society asks not how much, but how good;
not only how to create wealth but how to use it;
not only how fast we are going but where we are headed.

--Texas Native, Lyndon Baines Johnson, "LBJ"

He is one of only four people who served in all four elected federal offices of the United States: Representative, Senator, Vice President, and President.

Live their lives looking behind

Nothing is over, until you choose to give up.

~Richard Phillips, Capt. of the Maersk Alabama, which was hijacked by Somali pirates April 2009 - in Sept. 22 issue of Parade magazine

ETA: Here's a link to the Parade Magazine mini-interview w/Richard Phillips & Tom Hanks, who plays Phillips in the film "Captain Phillips".

It's a decent read.
