Are you happy?

Here’s another one of those “Manual to my life” posts. This entry in particular explains (in part) why I have a generally “positive” disposition – despite having the same (or probably even more difficult) challenges in life just like any other person.

It doesn’t have anything to do with being “happy” or “positive” – but the simple fact that I refuse to be “negative.” What do I mean when I say that? Read on…

I don’t like people who complain. Well that’s not really true; I embrace everyone’s mystery 🙂

But if you want to test my patience, then the quickest way to get me going is to complain – bonus points if you try to spin it in such a way that you’re kawawa – if you’re lucky enough; I might just decide to step in and beat you with a stick – and I think people will agree that you don’t want to be at the business end of that stick (oh wait, depends what “stick” we’re talking about hehehe).

Relationship relativity

I don’t tell people what they want to hear, but what they need to hear. If you want someone to stroke your ego and make you feel better, then you have your other friends for that. I can’t be that kind of friend because I’m not that kind of person.

Sometimes people wonder what my “secret” is. How I can be the way I “am” 1 and it’s not something positive from what I heard but still somehow have everything in order. If you take a random group sample of anyone, and put me in that lineup… chances are, I would be the one with the most positive disposition of the lot. I would probably have just the same amount of “issues” as the next guy, but I’m quite confident that I’m one of those who are better equipped to handle the emotional stress. Why is that?

I actually wanted to make a post entitled “A manual to my life” – where I break-down all the subsystems of how I discern, etc. What weights do I use to decide if I should be practical or idealistic. Stuff like that. But just like any human being, apparently it would take forever to cover everything 2 considering how thorough I tend to be So I guess for this post, I’ll just focus on some relationship stuff. Here’s my take on some questions that people have asked me – as well as some other concepts. And you should pay attention to how I treat the issues when I discuss them… it should give you a glimpse of how I “rationalize” things… and perhaps make you decide that should I give my opinion on the matter, if it’s worth any salt or not.
