twist88,
The last time I replied to one of your posts it turned into a debacle. (The viewpoints I gave you in that response was a result of my living here in Singapore for over 26 years now. It was a measured response not intended to provoke or anger. Hopefully, you will look at my response this time in the right frame of mind.
Race and Religion I would have to agree, shouldn't be an obstacle. Unfortunately is it and always will be. Not much we can do about that. It's human nature, especially between two people who will have to spend a large chunk of their life on earth shackled to another (those little rings are sure strong).
I would have to ask you though, are you married? Are you married to someone outside of your race or religion? The only reason I ask is that often reality steps in and you have to make adjustments in the name of love. I recently celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary this past September. I have to say that communication is a main aspect that keeps a marriage going. But I don't think it's the way you think.
A good measure of that communication is actually the lack of it. You see, while two people CAN love each other, if their race or religion is different, we cannot ask the other one to change to be like us (religion) and, unless you're Michael Jackson, you ain't gonna change your coloration either. So often it is non-communication that will save the marriage by just not responding to the one trying to "convert" the other one.
These things I speak of I speak from the heart. This is why I asked you earlier if you were married to someone outside of your race or religion. You see, I've walked that road. My wife is of a different race and religion than myself. After 25 years of travel down that road, I've learned a couple of things. (And yes, we are still of different race AND religion).
