Further to my recent posts about acceptance of my lot in life, I really feel for this lady, however foolish others may think she has been. By focussing on her own loneliness and dreams of a perfect life, including the right man (she even rented a flat for a short-term boyfriend who might have left his present relationship for her - guess what? He didnt!), she now finds herself about to lose her home. I personally have learned the hard way not to be too generous to those who may not stay in my life. I have much less disposable income than this lady, so my gifts tend to be small and thoughtfully chosen, kept on one side until the right occasion. Ironically these ill-fated gifts for the objects of my affections have saved me some money - my uncles and male friends have received high quality birthday and christmas cards, and the gifts I have bought have been given to friends, given to christmas charities and items I have knitted for the aforesaid individuals have been unravelled, the wool being knitted into blanket squares or scarves for homeless people. Im not intending to be cynical about men in any way, or about this ladys fall from grace, but the poor are always with us - if this lady had used her considerable resources to support charities or to give other service to the community, she might have felt less need to buy into her fantasy of the perfect life, as she would have been aware of the very real needs around her.
