		<description>Great post!  I couldn't help thinking, as I read, of a friend who recently divorced her husband of 16 years. He had begun using his fists on her during their first year of marriage. She believed his apologies and excuses because her commitment to the marriage was strong, and she believed that she could change him. She offered unconditional love, became sensitive to what seemed to provoke him, etc. Over the years, there would be periods when he did not use physical violence, but of course he had no need to. She reacted to the slightest glower or tensing of his muscles.  And he continued verbal abuse and harassment. 

She was very courageous, finally, in divorcing him and is only now discovering how he had "trained her like a dog", but in fact, of course, she had trained herself.

She 'failed' in her goal of a happy marriage  but in the secondary goals that developed -- of appeasing him, enduring his abuse and blocking in her own mind the horrors of the situation -- she was indeed so very 'successful'.

Sorry for the long comment but I think your post is so provocative and the principle could be applied to so many different life situations!</description>

		<description>I love the idea of shouting "Negativity Spam Filter -On"!! or words to that effect. I'll give it a go when I next get the opportunity. However, I must say that most of the people I connect with are very positive people - I've weeded out the negative ones over time.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the submission of your article to the beauty carnival.  I feel so guilty reading the article for the simple fact that I could probably try and fit some more time in for exercise. :-)</description>
