Different Perspectives

It is human nature when you are hurt once by something you are more cautious the next time when doing that action or you don't take that action again at all.  Much like the saying goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me'.  While those of us who have been hurt by someone sometimes trudge through those waters again very cautiously to reunite with them, we still hold back a little.  When you are hurt you remember the pain even if you forgive.  There is very little truth to the saying 'forgive and forget'.  I find that saying only helpful for my 3 year old when she is working something out with a playmate over a toy.  But even a small child knows this saying to be not entirely true because when that playmate shoves them down out of the blue while they might forgive they still remember and approach the situation differently next time.  Even animals know this.  Pain is a great and yet horrible teacher all at the same time.  When you are hurt you remember and it is etched in your brain seldom forgotten.

Of course we all know I am talking about Jason and Sam here.  Jason hurt Sam years ago and she hurt him.  But I will have you know that in the break ups, I have always sided with Sam all the way and really didn't care for Jason during those periods. Honestly I am much more of a Sam fan always then a Jason fan.  Sam brings out Jason's softer side.  When Jason broke up with Sam for her own good in 06, I wanted to jump through my TV screen and beat him up.  Seriously, Dude your timing could not have been any worse if you had tried.  But that was classic Jason, just like it is classic Jason to want to be everyone's hero.  The guy has a major hero complex he really should focus on shaking.   

While Sam admitted she was a little insecure about him running off to rescue Brenda that insecurity didn't really come from where it appeared at first glance.  I think she was totally justified with having feelings of insecurity not because Jason has feelings for Brenda but because he is always running off to rescue someone. I think Sam was afraid to tell him she wanted him to say with her and held back her feelings.  Sam is so happy to have Jason out of prison and back home she is not very willing right now to rock the boat.  She is afraid and needs a little more special handling right now.  While her words said she was okay with it her actions spoke volumes. She practically ran out of the penthouse just to get a way from him.  She was hurt and did not know of a way to tell Jason this without possibly upsetting him so she kept quiet.  Sam told Jason when he went off to prison she would be strong up until he got release and then she was going to probably lose it a little when she was back in his arms.  Well right now that is what is happening with Sam.  She is still our ever-so-strong Sam but she is still desperate to just keep Jason with her because it hurt so bad for him to leave to prison.  She remembers the pain and doesn't want him to leave her again.  That is at least what her less logical, emotional side is saying to her.  Jason needs to remember that. 

At initially viewing of yesterday's show I did find Carly's comments very frustrating. But actually it was very sweet in a Carly flip-side of the coin way of looking at it.  While Carly went on about her and her kids being Jason's first priority and my blood pressure rose, look at it from Carly's perspective.  Carly has accepted Sam as Jason's true love that she felt comfortable with talking to Sam and treating her more like a friend.  Friend might be too much here at least they are "frienemies" for now.  Carly is selfish and self-centered but Sam has known this for ages.  But Carly used to attack Sam every chance she got and even cause trouble for Jason and Sam.  Carly felt no need to cause trouble for them because she knows Jason loves Sam and she wants him to be happy.  Just like Sam could have very well told Carly Jason was gone on business but she decided to tell Carly he was in Rome because she knew Carly would be honest with her about Brenda.  I didn't think Carly fed Sam's insecurity if anything she relieved some of it.  Sam is going to be insecure right now because she can't forget the pain of them being apart while he was in prison or the pain of their past.  So it is natural for her to be a little afraid and it is natural of Jason to be clueless of this.  

I have read the recent spoilers that say JaSam talk about ending their relationship.  While that thought makes my stomach turn in knots I don't entirely believe it.  It seems rather out of the blue and I think if anything the only thing that will come out of this pending 'discussion' is that they will be stronger and maybe Jason will remember to be a little bit more appreciative of Sam. 

Absolutely one of the best GH blog out there.  I always read it! She has a great view and perspective on JaSam and GH! Take a look at her perspective for JaSam
