Why can't we all just get along?

I've had this thought for a while now and I figure I should put it somewhere. Why do people who break up in a relationship hate eachother? Honestly, you've realized you don't get along, get over it, act like adults and treat each other like separate individuals. My parents have been divorced for 20 years and they refuse to be in the same room together. Now they were only married for 10 years. Let's do the math... what could someone do in 10 years (and probably not the whole 10 years) that would make you hate them for twice as long as you were married? I don't know and I don't want to ask my parents.

Now I have been in bad relationships. My last relationship left me with a 1 year old daughter and a cheating ex-fiance. I've forgiven him because I realize that I am in a better place now that he and I are apart. Forget the fact that he cheated on me to get me to this point, I'm at this point because he cheated on me. Yay for me! I've met a wonderful man on Eharmony.com. (I'll write about how eharmony and my now fiance are wonderful in another blog). I would never have been able to do that if I was stuck in a dead end relationship with a loser. So it all turned out good. My mother is now married (it took her a couple of tries) to a wonderful man that she loves. She just can't see how the bad relationship she had with my father helped her to grow. Maybe if people look at the good effects of things instead of just what originally happened then things would be more tolerant and friendly in the world.

It seems like people dwell on the bad so much that the good gets lost in translation. It's just like the news. I don't know about you but I hate watching the news. It's depressing and constantly focuses on the negative. That's why I watch the Daily Show. It gets the major world news stories to me but keeps me laughing. It helps me realize that, yeah, "shit happens." It's ok to laugh about it though.

I think I've made my point for the night. I hope this makes some people think about some of the good that's happened because of the bad. Next one I will try to make less serious... maybe I'll write about "The Flavor of Love." It's a great show if you haven't watched it. It shows all the emotional extremes that people can go through in one hour. Kind of like "The Bachelor" on crack... or cocaine... Whitney says "Crack is Wack."
