In life... do u think its better to be...

[doug3fflux]

try to look at backstabbing as an experience. life is as it is.

 

[Bluecoral]

Cold & not get hit by flying arrows and backstabbing daggers den to be warm and suffer the consequences as a result of being too generous?

Either way, will be stabbed if others have the intention to do so.

Just be ourselves and make sure we don't "lose" ourselves in the process, we can't stop others from doing anything but we know what kind of person we want to be.

Confucius said,
"The best people live in the center of harmony.
The worst people act contrary to the center of harmony.
The best people live harmoniously,
because they always maintain the center.
The worst people act contrary to harmony,
because they are not aware of the center."

for me, i think falling in love cannot choose one leh. when seeing someone I love, it is naturally falling into love. i think i emotional type, love is not something logical which I can choose. why i have chemistry with gal 1 and not gal 2 is something I cannot explain.

heheh if you believe in that..then you have to believe that you can fall OUT OF LOVE too. heheh

How true, how true!

People will always fail us not matter how hard we try. Even mothers may fail their children. After all, are there perfect parents? But does that mean we should emotionally protect ourselves by putting on a cold barrier to detach ourselves from reality?

We are all social beings. We need to love and be loved. Alas, if only we can show this kind of love:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"

May the emotion of Love spreads more sincerely among mankind.
There is true love too which states:

"When the individual realizes Truth and fulfills God's purpose for
his life, he comes to embody universal love. He delights in the
well-being of others and selflessly works for their benefit. Love
or Compassion, being the core of Ultimate Reality, is expressed in
the love of the saint who can rise above self-centered attachments
and desires. It is true love, love that is totally committed to the
welfare of the other. It is love that is universal, overcoming the
ordinary tendency to self-centeredness or favoritism for one's own."
- World Scripture

Can man find the ideal of love?
Most probably not because such love requires
the foundation of integrity, truthfulness, and
unity with the Ultimate.
