Take 2</title><description><![CDATA[ I would love it if someone was confident in my love for them that they could take it for granted that I&#39;m always there ONLY if I can do the same. I know this to be beautiful because I had a relationship like this for over six years. I could assume he was there and wasn&#39;t going to hurt me and he could assume the same from me. Why is it over, it just is. Doesn&#39;t mean the &#34;taking for  ]]></description><link>http://blog.sweetestmemories.com/default.asp?Display=277#C28285</link><comments>http://blog.sweetestmemories.com/default.asp?Display=277#comments</comments><dc:creator>by Liz</dc:creator><guid>http://blog.sweetestmemories.com/default.asp?Display=277#C28285</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:59:48 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>Qwaider on Take people for granted....

Take 2</title><description><![CDATA[ You just conveniently generalized the whole matter and aligned it with your point of view. Which I see as inaccurate. First of all, when talking about human relations, work example is not really relevant. It doesn&#39;t work like that. You work for a price, and you&#39;re expected to do your job AND have your managers like you.

Take 2</title><description><![CDATA[ Thanks Tamara, apparently, there is no agreement on this matter, some people like it. Some people hate it.. It also depends if you&#39;re on the receiving end of things. But most of the time those words are uttered by women. Not men. Maybe we expect to be taken for granted! Maybe we&#39;re way too practical to be flattering.

Take 2</title><description><![CDATA[ Qwaider,I guess what I&#39;m saying is that when you take people for granted you automatically introduce the element of assumption into the ambiance, for instance, you can&#39;t take it for granted that I&#39;m a nice guy unless you have known me for a very long period of time, and you gained your knowledge about me through arduous experience, you can&#39;t assume that since I&#39;m an ]]></description><link>http://blog.sweetestmemories.com/default.asp?Display=277#C4667</link><comments>http://blog.sweetestmemories.com/default.asp?Display=277#comments</comments><dc:creator>by Hatem Abunimeh</dc:creator><guid>http://blog.sweetestmemories.com/default.asp?Display=277#C4667</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Sep 2006 20:52:32 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>Qwaider on Take people for granted....
