You think they aren't?

Anyway, I think the sceptics of the 'power' perspective would do well to remember that with great power comes great responsibility... who would have thought Spiderman the movie would give us such a profound quote? The point being that power in itself is not a bad thing, it's what you do with it.

To put the negative aspect on this, have you ever trusted someone only for them to hurt or use you? I think most of us can associate with that experience...

We can either live in denial to this risk or we can accept it fully... risk getting hurt and continue loving in spite of it all. Never close off your heart. Take emotional beatings and get up and carry on loving, because that is real strength of character.

So, this coming Labor Day (also my birthday) I will wear my sexy makeup, clothes, and underwear and seduce him like I've never done before. I don't think seduction is a bad thing in itself, especially since I know my boyfriend wants to be seduced.
Hi five to the boyfriend!!!

Oh yeah, and I'm pleased for you
