In the last week and half, I learnt something new about myself.
One: that I have very little patience with a totally different value system. I will switch off scorching dislike. But you will never know.
Two: that I can let myself be upset terribly by misfortune and mishaps that happen to others. This is stupid.
Must learn to disassociate.
And manage time better.
Must.

Where would we be as humans if we did not feel the pain of others?

Must definitely learn to disassociate. I must too. Fast and forever.

Frankly,Austy,I think,in today's world,you have to be sensitive enough to be insensitive sometimes.Sensitive to yourself,I mean,and insensitive to the world's troubles when you know you can't sovle them.:)Good luck.

Ahh, to "manage time better."

Should you find the elsuive X and Y values to solving that formula, do let me know!

My rare but occasional "scorching dislike" comes with an evil eye that makes even the biggest men crumble.

I've always been in short supply of patience. My neurotic cat has taught me a lot about patience though. She knows by those occasional above mentioned glares that she's been a whisker away from a snapped neck a time or two.

Any future child of mine should worship that damn cat. Must have been some mutual domestication taking place these last fifteen years. With that in mind, the hubby should then honor the cat as well.

Loup- I think there has to be a limit to it.
And God- or evolution- gave humans brains so that they may think.
If behavior is cyclical, one must know how much to take.


Norrbu- keep me posted. :)

amit- agree with you there. putting that into practice is the big question.

shooting -absolutely. or new levels to what we will or will not take.

mago da magician :) danke schon!

nimh luv- I can "see" that, flashing eyes and magic spell and all.
perhaps this is Nefertiti cat?
Child, spouse, both ought to be grateful. A fish or two might work as token payment in kind.
You sound softy softy, and sweet.

we are upset when misfortune happens to others because we are human. at times, we need to disassociate but it is human.

Arunima- I'm so bad it messes up my day. Bigtime.
