What kind of mate are you looking for? And where are you looking?

We keep hoping that one day we will find the man who really understands our experiences, the woman who will bring peace to our restless life, the job where we can fulfill our potential, the book which will explain everything, and the place where we can feel at home. Such false hope leads us to exhausting demands and prepares us for bitterness and dangerous hostility when we start discovering that nobody, and nothing, can live up to our absolutistic expectations. Henri Nouwen

Proverbs 17:9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
