Message from a fortune cookie. In love you could shine like a brilliant star.
Dr Zees LoveLine explores: how to get good loving, how to do good caring,
how to have less anger and more love?
Keeping the Love Light Burning
by lessening the stockpile of anger
Solution - easier said than done.
Maybe a good starting point
is doing our best to keep the baddies out,
and get rid of the baddies that have crept in.
One of the biggest baddies is a storehouse of anger
on both sides.
That's great for getting quite some fire going
- but the opposite of a love light.
START ALL
When Anger Comes At Us
flight, fight, or
what?
My first impulse - avoid the anger,
ignore it, and maybe give in to it,
usually without spelling out that
I've done this. It can be easier to shrug,
"It just isn't worth it."
Next impulse - get angry back, frustrated, furious, irate, resentful.
Often that's not very successful in resolving the issue, reaching the
other, or getting out of my own anger.
What might work?
START ALL
On Caring
love, empathy, compassion,
anxiety, worry, dread, fear, plus
Caring - at least for some of us, it's a core part of a life
that has meaning for us. I care -
and I have something to get up
for in the morning. I care - and life is full, overfull,
with passion,
curiosity, initiative, pleasure. I don't care - life is dull, boring,
a drag.
So what, I don't care - I'm sullen, numb, angry, unless there
are also things I care for.
I care - I warm up.
Caring connects me. To someone I know - partner,
child, friend, family, student.
To someone in an novel, film, news
report. To something - an interest, a concern, a passion.
Caring also
connects me to myself - I care about my health, future, life, well-being,
choices.

RIGHT NOW I AM INCLINED TO THINK
THAT THIS

AT THE VERY LEAST, IT IS CRUCIAL. click

What Do We Really Want? Need?
lots of technology, lots of dissatisfaction
We have more things than ever, but that leaves many of us empty.
So what do we really want, need?
START ALL
Shamed Half to Death
from a wall of shame to letting go of shame
1 major source of shame, 1 major inner resource to combat it,
and 1 vital external resource.
START ALL
Love Problems
sinking relationships, no one-step solutions
Help, love relationship problem! One of the most common cries for help in our society.
Common problem, no easy common solution.
But an approach to problems.

Dr
Zees LoveLine
(correctly written Dr. Zee's Love Line)
Dr Zees LoveLine - maybe a lifeline, a hopeline.
Maybe a lifeboat, a raft, a lifebuoy when the going
is a bit rough.
Dr Zees LoveLine - we all can use a helping hand sometime,
and just maybeDr Zees LoveLine can give a helping hand,
rather than a kick in the pants -
though sometimes a good swift kick in the pants
can also be useful
if we're not doing our best,
not trying over and over -
instead maybe hiding our heads and eyes and ears from loads of evidence.
But back to Dr Zees LoveLine -
"in love you could shine like a brilliant star" -
well, maybe you could and maybe you couldn't,
but most, there are no guarantees here, no promises,
just suggestions at best.
Easier to get ideas through to people, for me at least,
than to get more love going.
Dr Zees LoveLine - a try to get more warmth, compassion,
loving feeling going.
"We've lost that loving feeling," goes one song.
Too bad when that happens.
How to get more loving feeling, good loving feeling not
with angry hate stripes running through it,
or so much fear that it hardly gets out, fear of seeming foolish, fear
of reaching out -
big questions.
Maybe love isn't all you need, but
love is a good part of it.
Dr Zees LoveLine - maybe there's something in it for
you.
My big hope - that there's something in it for me.
So much of my life I have longed for more love, most
of all for more loving feeling in me,
for things like falling in love, heart melting open wide, heart breaking
open wide -
not easy for many of us -
not easy for my mother, abandoned by her mother,
not easy for her mother, who lost her own mother to death at seven months,
not easy for me, though I have felt it,
and have felt loss,
and have always felt -
the love was worth it.
Love, such an amazing feeling.
The LoveLine -
recipes for that loving feeling -
but no promises, no guarantees.
Dr Zees LoveLine - part of my own life line.
