- Yup! I love it!

-
- Considerable -- many people have not the strength or courage to achieve it.

- You *nailed* it! People who are emotionally insecure cannot handle someone
- who is not. It would force them to face their own insecurities, and
- that takes a lot of courage. Why do you think some people become so
- attracted to people that are so screwed up?!! Makes them feel healthy in
- comparison, and they never have to face their own shortcomings.
- (How many people do you know who watch all those *wonderful* talk shows
- about people who have no clue what it means to be emotionally healthy?!)
-
- Finding an emotionally secure person attractive is not difficult.
- Finding an emotionally secure person that's *uninvolved* is the difficult
- part! 8-( <snif> 8-)
-
- Life *is* great, isn't it?!!!
