*** KISSS (Kommunicators in Search of a Special Someone):
Every so often I review the events of my life to see what I've
learned. My way of measuring “accomplishments” is pretty
idiosyncratic, and I'd like to give you an example of what I mean. I
was a coin dealer early in my career, and made good money at it. But
after a while I needed to explore life a little more, and see if
there was more to it than satisfying the needs of collectors and
speculators. When I was a social worker at a homeless shelter, much
later on, and saw how frugally some people had to live, I learned
that money and things are good only as they make life better. I
learned to appreciate what I had. To me, gaining that sort of
perspective was an accomplishment. When my marriage broke up, and I
began to reflect on it, I began to see that I was to blame for a lot
that went wrong. I had to own up to doing certain things I wasn't
very proud of. That was a tough one, I have to admit.
I've usually gone for what some new experience could teach me, even
when unsure of the outcome, rather than choose the path of least
resistance. As a result of that, when I think of the kind of woman I
want to get involved with, I don't think much about your material
accomplishments, your possessions, the status you've attained to, the
letters after your name. I just don't measure the worth of another
human being that way. I like to give you the room you need to be who
you are. You're not applying for a job, and neither am I. What I do
care about is the effort you put into giving whatever it is that you
have to give, and the degree to which you leave yourself open and
vulnerable to the joy and pain that's part of getting involved. Just be real.
