Family & Relationships - 11 February 2007

Wealth, Success, and Love.



A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.




"No", she replied. "He's out."


"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in"


"We do not go into a House together," they replied.




"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"


Their daughter-in- law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"


"Let us heed our daughter-in- law's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."


Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"


The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!

I don't mean to sound too frustrated... Although women claim they want a nice guy, why do women fall for jerks and guys who take advantage of them and then keep going back for more?

I want to cuddle with him and talk to him the next day but he just wants to hook up. We were going to do it more often but I know I still like him.

"A woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt from woman, and it is confirmed only by other men. Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.

Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.

I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passe abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.

If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts."

-Camille Paglia

Do you think that modern relationships fail men in their need to maintain their masculinity? Changing diapers, coochooing kids, being wife's emotional depository, soccer dads... Don't you think this is all inauthentic? Don't you think our divorce rates show it? Why has marital equality become the emasculation of men?

I broke up with my boyfriend because I was scared. My friend told me he was going to dump me and so I dumped him first. Totally out of fear. And I wanted him back like hell the second after I dumped him. I still love him. Like adult love, not kid love.

Now a few weeks later my best friend and him love eachother. I'm crying my eyes out. Today I told him I still love him, and he started caring about me more.

He still loves my friend, and doesn't love me.

I'm crying and cant stop. What should I do?

The key is to learn how to be one of those guys. If you are handsome, charismatic, wealthy, self-confident, and funny with a good rap, you've got it made. Right or wrong?
