Being healthy and having enough cash to cover the basics is honestly a massive win from fate.
Everything else? Just whatever you decide to make of it.
Gregory Ruiz65 said:I have to agree; neither would be preferable, though if you're in a marriage that's simply not working, I suppose it's best to just divorce and move on with whoever you choose.
If I spoke with the tongues of men and of angels,
but had not love,
I would merely be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
Even if I possessed the gift of prophecy,
understanding all mysteries and all knowledge,
and held a faith strong enough to move mountains,
without love—I am nothing.
If I gave away everything I owned,
or even surrendered my body to sacrifice,
yet lacked love, it serves me no purpose at all.
Love is patient; love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs;
it does not delight in injustice, but rejoices with the truth;
it always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, and always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Prophecies? They will cease.
Tongues? They will be stilled.
Knowledge? It will pass away.
For we now see in part, just as we prophesy in part.
But when perfection comes, these partial things will vanish.
When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
But when I became a man,
I put away childish ways.
For now we see through a glass, darkly,
but then, we shall see face to face!
Now I know in part,
but then I shall know fully,
just as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love,
these three,
but the greatest of these is love.
Joseph Rivera75 said:Just wanted to clarify—cheating doesn't mean much to me since I wasn't the victim or the cheater. To the person who actually got played, though? It probably means everything.
Being right on paper is one thing, but living it is another story entirely.
There's a massive difference between dumping some girl you've seen for a couple of months versus a wife deciding she's done with you—or vice versa.
Brandon Foster7 said:And the question basically boils down to this: would you rather be loaded or broke?
Joseph Rivera75 said:The question itself is kind of pointless. Because saying something "shows who someone is"...
In reality, it shows nothing.
Theory is one thing; real life is another.
Life isn't black and white, and neither are decisions or people—nobody is just purely good or purely evil.
At the end of the day, one situation doesn't rule out the other.
Plus, there's a massive gap between actually living through something and just talking about it from the sidelines.
A real question would be: which is harder, being left behind or doing the leaving?
Is it tougher when the person you love doesn't love you back, or when you realize you've stopped loving someone you're supposed to?
And even then, there wouldn't be an answer, because both options suck.
