people will wipe their feet on you”

Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

They sure will..no one can take advantage of you uinless you allow them to..!
I'm still groaning at your Catch Up comment..! LOL
Sad but again true!!
Someone once said to me that if a married couple claim that they have never had an argument, one of them must be a doormat! I think there's a lot of truth in that!
I knew a couple who said that once and a few days later they got into a "big" one over a card game! lol
I have heard a similar comment to Lilymariene, only the version I know says one of them must be telling a lie!
I must say we dont often argue, but when we do I always know I am cthe one who is in the right!
LOL!
What a great quote this is!! Hope you are having a lovely day :o) {{{HUGS}}} xx
lol...unlike mrsnesbitt, I adopt the stance with my beloved that I may not always be right,but Im never wrong...Lol. It gets a smile from him if nothing else. Great quote Ruth (( hugs ))
