how am I supposed to understand people if they do not let me understand? Please help me understand so I can take corrective action.
I am not good at these people business. i have absolutely no tact and skill in reading people. to understand people, i have to hear what they think from their very mouths. does this make me gullible? maybe. stupid? yes. but i have no other way.

the more you hate the more you love, the more you love the more you hate.
you know the first half. but the second part is harder to imagine. but my source says that its simply the frustration of watching someone you love do something bad despite all of your efforts to correct them. cant relate!

love is not just a feeling, it is a choice.
love is a combination of attraction and commitment. attractio in all of its aspects, bound together by a commitment to keep the attraction alive. i think so, but i don't really know! i wish i did.

how can you save others if you cant save yourself?
true. but it is often easier to see how to save a drowning man than to realize that your drowning yourself. picture this, you see a man fall off a boat in deep water, what would your reaction be? i believe mine would be to jump off after him and try to save him. but picture this? what if i dont know how to swim? or more likely, we drift too far from the ship to return? what would happen to us? its that kind of situation that could happen. often, we dont realize till its too late our mistakes. waht can i do?

know thyself. how?

(sic) why am i asked to make decisions when labaw na ko nga...
dont know who said this. well i think i do but anyway, why cant people just tell me what they think? i can adapt, if i know what i have to adapt to. what i cant cope is trying to understand people. i never could do that. will you just tell me what you think about me, my actions so i can figure out a possible action? please. dont be too afraid, kind, shy to tell me. i will not bite! please

if you dont try to please them and they are pleased with you, then they deserve your time.
how would you know if they are pleased with you. and what if i aim to please? i do what i do without asking for anything in return.
