I belonged to the Hispano culture and its ways of thinking. I thought I would be eternally rooted to it and its traditions, but I'm doing my best to change, and I know it's too late at the age 50; but holy wisdom is backing me up to leave some things behind, and I want to print my square toe on the sand of these passing sheets.

I believed like you and I cannot deny the being of my humanity. I had my dreams and I decided to be contend with those I have at bedtime or daydreaming, and these notes are those dreams bringing me chances I have to daydream: May my words SERVE one to help (and I know two people thanked my writings, and I expected nothing in turn).

My life, like everyone else, has been a quest. I tried to live the best way and, in many aspects, I failed, and I'm happy I forgave myself (If you plan to be a Christian, do you that favor). God keeps on forgiving me when I repent, when I try to change and amend, so why do I have to be the one who wants to cut my life off, when trying to be better?

Life is a long term lesson. I've seen how we can learn from others and these people are giving us free college lessons. Your life also keeps on teaching someone, up to the last day in this human body.

Yesterday I enjoyed a “naive” thread at CC. Someone came giving shouts to find out his “missing piece” (as I said). I lied when I told him I would keep an eye over him, up to the moment he finds that woman he tries to get... Is he the one on that quest?

Recently I told my friend MS that she was wrong. She still prays to find her Mr Right and insists on asking God for the man who has what she lacks, same way Adam acknowledged Eve to be his “missing part”.
Do we really lack a rib, or a bone easy to bite?

I asked her is she had problems with her ADN molecules. I used to think all men had their Eve to be found, but that idea is wrongly taken from the Bible: Adam was directly made by Gods hands, and I came to be “a body” because of my parents. I'll be born again when God gives me from His Spirit, same way Jesus told Nicodemus (John 3: 5-7). So the real missing part is His Spirit, because I used to live on the human flesh.
I tried to tell MS that Eve was a reverse creative process, half a clone, where Adam “really” lost anything within him (the missing rib).
I'd say “reverse” because God worked from an opposite extreme, from a missing spare part, the rest of the world was not heard of; so women is an invention above the invention, and that's why I cannot say: “Flesh of my flesh...” as Adam did. (He was lucky! He had no inlaws) He! He!
Perhaps -that very day- he saw a perfect mirror of what any man (or woman) looked at, while stepping into the uncertain grass of body fitness or beauty; but we were not told how she was mentally and what she would feel she lacked (same way as him).
Both tried to find out the appropriate information to build up that relationship. We are not told the time when God set apart that couple, so they started to walk alone out of Paradise, and here is where we ended up to meet and learn, same way they did, while we try to look deep in our minds what is the correct answer to give.

Jesus told two important things:
a) Love your God... and
b) Love your neighbor.

Somewhere else He taught about FAITH, Justice and Mercy.
Do these mental attitudes really matter in mate selection?
How are they connected as bonding things?
Experience tells me I would not marry godless people (I know who I was and who I could be: That's why I avoid those who acted like me).

I do not marry those who shows little respect or consideration for people. A very demanding man (or woman) shows more respect for his or her own concerns and things. The more we ask, the less we give.

Perhaps my kids won't pay attention to what I wrote today, to what I said anyday, but they will learn the hard way.
I don't care being heard and don't need being thanked, but I owe many who brought me here (specially GOD and life). :p
I invite the reader to learn from others, I like to share what I got from wikipedia these last days, and it is connected to your Mr or Mrs Right (once you find her, call me back) :D

From the standpoint of anthropology and sociology, dating is linked with other institutions such as marriage and the family which have also been changing rapidly...

From the standpoint of Adam, was he concerned of a family or a relationship with himself and his fe-male (his missing part)?

From God's side, was He concerned on the development of a society or in those hum@n's needs? (No doubt He thought of both missing parts).

Wikipedia, on its good article of Dating keeps on saying:

...there have been substantial changes in the relationship between men and women, with perhaps the only biological constant being that both adult women and men must have sexual intercourse for human procreation to happen.[SUP][3][/SUP]

In my book of life, since I was a child, I wasn't thinking of sex. I believed my functioning program was not having such an intercourse before being a teen; but at that time came a new thing that wasn't a rib, and it changed my known drives and gave my life an additional task that gave me new troubles.

I knew it was a nice looking face what helped me to cling easily to some little girls. I was fat, so I seldom looked to those like me; no matter how beautiful they were outside, because I knew who I wanted to be and what I dislike from me.

When being a teenager, I never dated those who reminded me whom I was. I wasn't handsome, so I never got a lovely poem for me. Let's say I tried! But poetry looks after itself. And life gives you much more interesting things to read on...

Wikipedia says:

Humans have been compared to other species in terms of sexual behavior. Neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky constructed a reproductive spectrum with opposite poles being tournament species, in which males compete fiercely for reproductive privileges with females, and pair bond arrangements, in which a male and female will bond for life.[SUP][4][/SUP]

Does a simple Christian compete for REAL LOVE or sex?

I agree that that drive took much of my life to be changed. I “knew” a good nice looking face was related to a body and its beauty, but it took me years to understand that beauty wasn't well associated with companionship, deep love and loyal concern: Beauty makes some men to compete, but it doesn't match long-term companionship but rivalry. Beauty may draw many, but seldom keeps deep bonds of love (for it tends to be selfish, both male and female sides).

Christians are learning to deal above the externals and its appearance. Long-term relationships last more that external beauty and its “fitness”, but I must admit what I'm dealing with, what I thought it was important and what I believed those days moved my loyal feelings: The Bible is a good guide for the subject. Look a Samson's life! Delilah wasn't the best choice he chose. He looked at the outside, and he failed same way I am...
Christians -sooner or later- will change other things beneath our human nature, but our character tends to last at last.
There are many secular writers who have given you the information of their witnessing; but you are the better book to read on your likes, your needs, and those dreams you try to find out “the missing piece”.
