Book of Mirrors

Hay, Michelle here. I know this is your thing and I'm not knocking you, but that story there is the most ridiculous mess I've ever heard. I get the point of the story and can follow it's meaning-even coming down to the witch being God's law or my God even. I don't see any basis for it though. We can freely love people without having sex. I can get all the "warm fuzzies" I want in different manners. By the way, is life supposed to be good and "fuzzy" all the time. We must have a balance of some sort. I could make up a story like this that could argue the fact not to throw your fuzzies out to everyone in the world. In my wedding vows I said "forsaking all others". I'm sure that yours said something different and that's where it is a choice that is your own, of course, to live this way. I only see this story as a rebellion to do something that others in the mainstream are not doing. I would really not want to go that way for that reason. Here's my example that I was talking about in one of your other posts about teenage sex. I had sex then because it was a way to receive love that I didn't know how to get any other way. I did it (sex) because I thought the person wouldn't like me anymore if I didn't, and I needed to have someone to like me and be around me. I know now that I will not give of myself like that again except to the one whom I'm committed to and who is committed to me. I don't need this other sex or relationships like that because I know if it's not there from me to begin with that sex is not going to give it to me. You find this love inside yourself and you feel so much better. I was a slave to sex and relationships before, but not anymore. If I want something of the heart and physical- I know where to go and I know that it's there for me. I have no need to find it in someone else. This is MY marriage and it's meant for us and NO-ONE else. Yes, you give of yourself to others and you make friends, but to give away something that is meant for your marriage is beyond me. I know, I know -the story, but I say the story is hogwash and has no basis whatsoever. I say the story is conceiving and is THE BIG LIE.
