Do Words We Use Really Matter
I was thinking the other day (No cracks from my friends please.) about the subtle differences between words that are commonly used, sometimes not used or mis-used.
Let me give you an example.
I'm sorry. This simple two word sentence can be interpreted so many ways and have so many different meanings for both the person who speaks them and the person who they are directed toward.

What On Earth Was That?
Have you ever been minding your own business when suddenly, out of nowhere someone contacts you and unexpectedly bursts into a fit, demanding that you do something you have no idea what is and then, because you can't give them this one thing, this person starts calling you names among doing other nasty things?

Relationship: Realistic Expectations
Most of us are fascinated by the love affairs of others. We expect a relationship to be filled with love and passion. All of us have some faults and defects in us. We should learn to accept people with their faults and respect for what they are. Never ignore the reality and come out from your world of dreams.

Are You REALLY Happy In Your Relationship Or Have You Just Settled?
I recently read a study that indicated that 91% of all people in relationships were not happy. Now I can't tell you if this percentage is true, if it is an accurate portrayal of the average relationship or an exaggeration to get people’s attention. I don't know the details or particulars of the study as they were not given in very much depth. But the fact remains, that if 91% of the people surveyed felt this way, can we assume that many other people in general who were not surveyed are not happy as well? I don’t like to make assumptions but this number is really scary.
