Dear Wisdom:

My thoughts following reading your short thread:

About reading books: not everything published is true. The concept of Critical Reading as in Critical Thinking is to evaluate what you read, hear others say, and decide for yourself, over time, if it takes time, what is accurate and what is not.

Regarding attracting love: if a person is closed to love, is very angry or very fearful (or both), then other than calming that person again and again… when they are fearful and angry, there is nothing you can do so to extract the love inside them…

When you are calm and not so worried about what people think of you, then you are less focused on yourself and can focus on others, see them for who they are. That will encourage others to get close to you because everyone (?) likes to be seen, likes attention for who they are.

I don’t think there is a god that assigns people to people. If there is, he is doing a bad job at it because there are more couples that suffer together than couples that comfort each other consistently, is my experience.
