Failure is the ladder to success, but one should clean up the mess, or you can slip and break your neck!

    As a woman who has never known her father- he disappeared while I was still to young to have any memories of him- this one makes my heart wistfully sad.

    This also reminds me a lot of the issues families have to deal with when faced with a family member having an eating disorder. The ramifications it has on such close relationships and how it can tear them apart so easily.

    Good thing that a divorce is no more a taboo in many countries. No one forces you to live in a relationship that you don't like anymore.

    There was actually a Greek myth about this, though slightly different. A sculpture wanted a woman that was perfect for him, and disliked all the women he knew, so he sculpted his ideal woman, with the wish she would come alive. The goddess of love, Aphrodite, granted his wish.

    Love the idea! Knowing people in everyday life really is like sailing around tips of icebergs.
