"They are who they are. You are putting your expectations of how they "should" behave towards you and because they are not living up to your expectations, you are now in pain."
It's not only my own expectations. Those people shown worthy in one direction in one belife which they change in future according how much advantage they have gotten from you.
As for me, yes I can keep my emotions focused in one direction.
"You will experience, Peace within."
This is not a peace within. This is pure submission.
Life does not demand that you protect yourself - you are demanding that of yourself. All life does is allow us to experience. We can choose to experience life from a place of LOVE or FEAR.
If you honestly feel that you need to protect yourself - you may be coming from a place of fear. Protecting yourself from what?
Protecting yourself from filth and intolerable people whose only purpose is to destroy your life. I don't understand how that related to fears. Rather, I see this as inefficiency.
"Life does not demand that you protect yourself - you are demanding that of yourself. All life does is allow us to experience. We can choose to experience life from a place of LOVE or FEAR."
I do not agree with that statement. It's too simple put.
DC
We definetly will. I did that once. Now I will do it again. Some people simply keeps too low expectations on my abilities that's all.
Notso
I don't think you understand things necessary. Sometimes you have to pick niddle with your ass. This situations is one of them and not funny one.
I'm saying you are looking at it from too shallow point of view. Yes it may be looking irritating, but we have place for such things in our lives. Such a life...
".it can become counterproductive at some point."
It's not productive as it is right now either.
DC
I don't think I understand what you are saying. And I also don't think Tzu-Lao's soldiers were going to war laughting.
If there is discomfort, there is resistance which is coming from inside of you.
Watch and get curious about your resistance - observe it. Step back and acknowledge your resistance, then it will melt away.
Feel where the resistance is in your body....is resistance good for you?
Oh soooo random this bird is!
"Haffo, I think you are missing the point. Learning to take a step back from a situation...to let things be as they are...does not imply making light of it. "
It's actually you who are missing the point. While you blame me with making drama, I'm only answering the questions.
"as going/being "too deep"
May be true for some people .. but, I don't know if it's possible. When something hits really hard, the Fish has to delve further into the depths .. that's where we gain strength. Flapping around the surface only serves to make us undecisive, wishy-washy .. in the cool, deep waters is where we go to lick our wounds .. and down "there" is where we find the courage to rise and face another day.
You have no idea what it's like to be a Pisces .. if you did, you'd know that what you just said is the complete opposite as to how we have to operate in life in order for people and situations to become clearer.
No search is in vain .. no matter at what depth it is contemplated.
There is no such thing as "face value" to the Pisces, notso. Quite the opposite and that is what Haffo has been trying to say .. people who tell us that because they don't understand are the filthy intolerants, lol
This is how we work ..
It's the face value that we fight against, lol
Like I said .. perhaps it is right for others .. but, it's impossible for us, whether it's logical, practical, sensible, or any other .. we can't operate like that .. we have to chew on everything behind the face.
* not .. not posible
To tell us we can't do that is like telling the Scorpion they aren't allowed to have secrets, or tell the Virgo they aren't allowed to bathe.
It's not "that" the wind is blowing .. it's "what" the wind is blowing.
That is us .. like it or not.
lol
"Time that could have been spent concentrating on something productive, was wasted on irrational evaluative thoughts. I accomplished nothing."
You accomplished nothing because you aren't wired as a Pisces .. you are Scorpio.
"I will not sacrifice comfort for personal growth and transformation."
This isn't a sacrifice, notso .. this is who we are .. this is where we find personal growth and transformation. Only when we are a "broken vessel" can we see the light.
We find comfort in searching every avenue, even the ones that don't exist .. that IS our comfort zone .. that's why I said .. what you say is the complete opposite of how we need to operate. To you, it accomplishes nothing .. to us, it allows the light-bulb to go off in our heads.
It just is ..
Notso, when I say "you" .. I mean all you's who aren't Pisces.
"Or whichever sign can just 'see the answer straight away'. I don't know enough about astrology to know which sign that is.
I don't want to be exhausted all the time with unecessary thought."
Not sure if this will help DC however, instead of thinking...go within. Learn to trust your instincts - this is what us Rams do. Feelings do NOT lie - this is YOUR TRUTH...the problem with most people is, they do not trust themselves which in turn, they do not trust their feelings - they constantly question them causing much disturbance within.
When you learn to trust your inner compass you will flow through life 😉
Have fun with it!
What are we searching for...
Maybe I can help.🙂
Too many examples to name, for it's practically everything, lol
But, here's something .. because in our minds, half the avenues we venture down don't even exist .. if we just said, "Ok, this is right" and then go with it without hashing it over and over, in different angles, different light, with different people, a different time of day, or frame of mind ..
.. what if it was one the things that didn't exist in the first place and it's the one we chose?
See?
My car keys...
Oh Starfish...no two fish are the same...
No two snowflakes are the same....
😉
Ok, somebody has them hidden in their drawers .. DC?
What's that poking out? Give FB her car keys back, please.
"Being a Pisces I am surprised DC that you do not know how to do that..We are known for that.."
Do what, Starfish?
DC has my car keys——
Ah-karumba how did YOU get them?
P-Angel, since you are a fish, will you please "fish" them out for me?
Thanks Love 🙂
I trust my inner compass .. I think all Pisces do .. it's the only thing we really have. The problem is "where" it's taking us may change in two minutes.
Notice .. he swam away .. wuss, lol
And I just rolled my sleeves up, too.
When we are attached to outcomes....we will suffer.
DC .. I've even picked up on the dog before.
Insane !!
Oh....DC, not boring at all! Quite liberating and free 😉 Infact, it is a lot of fun....how can being happy be boring?
Want my left over bottle of bubbles?
Itchy .. I swore to my husband that something was bothering him .. he was edgy, like something under his skin. He was fine .. the dog was irritated with the "itchies".
Fuck .. the inner compass will lead you anywhere .. except the end .. there is no end.
Whatever changes is not real, whatever is real does not change.
Look at the nothingness that the somethingness is coming from.
For example....look at this background in which these words are written on
Most people neglect the empty paper and only focus on the words.
"Look at the nothingness that the somethingness is coming from."
My sentiments exactly .. something came from nothing, so that nothing had substance.
So, DC....do you still have my car keys?
P-Angel said you did 😉
Kinda neat that we can point at the moon but we cannot grasp it. Life can be just like this 😉
"I do not want a big house, a big car, or indeed any kind of material attatchments at all. I love walking, reading, the occasional coffee at a cafe .. that's enough for me."
Ahhh, the nothingness is better than the somethingness, sometimes.
Notso, it is change .. it's completely fluid .. nothing is solid.
"You can have them back when I say we're done, and not a MOMENT before."
*grabs bubbles, peanut M&M's, toilet paper and sits...with a smile* 🙂
If something does not serve you...it will fall away.
Bliss 😉

"Whatever changes is not real".
In which case, I like a woman with 'not real' underwear.
only in your reality...
DC, you may have ALL my peanut M&M's cuz I like you
*blows more bubbles in honour of DC*
Exactly .. MysticFish is all fish.
DC .. that is SO Pisces .. in fact, I'll bet you could think of some more. One would be unwise to think that just because we are comfortable over "there" doesn't mean we are in a constant state of chaos in the mind .. we think, therefore we are .. too.
Possibilities are like the universe ..
To some, they strive to think outside the box
Others, exercise control to maintain within the restrictions of the box.
To Pisces .. the box doesn't exist.
But, that IS my whole point .. nothing is solid .. any and all directions are optional. There's no limits of one way, or the other.

"The problem is that you "should" trust them more than to anyone else."
Yes, you would "think" so but, that is not the reality. They are who they are. You are putting your expectations of how they "should" behave towards you and because they are not living up to your expectations, you are now in pain. In order to be happy with yourself and othes, we must accept each person for who they are - none of us are perfect, we are humans. One of the most difficult things it appears for us humans is to ACCEPT others just the way they are. When we can do this, we become happy - there is no longer any attachment - it is what it is. You will experience, Peace within.
