Eating boogers at age 31

A common thread in mass shooters... grievances... leading to resentments. They become consumed in their negative emotions and plan and punish anyone and everyone. Makes them "feel good". What I wonder is why some people overcome grievances and others give into them.

"Grievance is not an emotion itself, but rather a feeling of resentment or complaint about a perceived wrong or hardship. It often involves emotions like anger, frustration, or sadness related to that perceived injustice."

I've felt that long ago and overcame it. Getting a good world view helps to see things clearly.

If you have wrong expectations of this world, feel powerless, leads to big problems in relating to the world.

I suspect grievance can turn into other social, subvertive ills as well...

I have recently discovered the 5 C's of a relationship, though I'm sure we already use them without knowing about the rule.

How to use the 5 C's.

As a Checklist. Evaluate potential or current partners by seeing if they embody these traits.

As a Growth Tool. Intentionally practice these elements to strengthen your existing relationships.

Commonly Cited 5 C's.

Communication/Closeness: The ability to talk openly, listen actively, resolve misunderstandings, and revealing your true self.

Chemistry: The spark, attraction, and the emotional pull that makes you exited about the person.

Compatibility/Commonality: Shared values, goals, and a sense of fitting well together long term.

Commitment: A conscious decision to stick together through challenges, and build a future.

Compassion/Courtesy/Constructive Conflict: Showing care, and understanding, respect, kindness, appreciation, and managing inevitable issues.

The 777 Rule is a relationship guideline for couples.

How it works.

Every 7 days (Date Night) A dedicated, uninterrupted time to connect, which can be simply a movie at home, or a dinner out.

Every 7 weeks (Night Away) A short escape, like a staycation or a night in a new town, to break the routine, and focus solely on each other.

Every 7 months (Romantic Getaway) A longer vacation or trip to create lasting memories, and fully disconnect from daily stressors.
