let's make an effort to see the positive side about anything that's considered bad/negative.
try to avoid the obvious one like "ignorance is bliss" and "what doesn't kill you make you stronger"

go!

-insomnia gives you all the time you need to think and reflect about your life and work on yourself.

your turn.

IMO balance is best.

constant optimism is not healthy nor realistic.

I disagree. while some aspect of our personality are deeply rooted and might never change, I think we are constantly "evolving" as new experiences and knowledge are integrated.

loneliness allows you to reach out to a higher source

the ending of relationships that weren't healthy might hurt like hell and give crazy withdrawals, but you are learning to be your own and better person, even though you don't feel like you're doing well with it and you suck because it's all in the practice, baby :wink:


thanks man, i needed this. good thread.

uninspired work is still work and feels more rewarding at the end of the day.

Yes its important to recognize the duality of nature in all its expressions. Then eventually embrace ultimate nondualism.

Little story to this one...

I was tripping at Lake Superior around a month ago with some friends. We were all on 3 tabs and we had all just peaked around 30 minutes prior to getting to the lake. We were having fun, jamming to tunes, and looking for some rocks. I found a rock extremely smooth and rounded on 3 of its 4 edges.. I passed off the rock to my friend Kat and she felt its single rough edge and said "if only.." I told her "The rock isn't messed up in not being round, but perfect in being partially jagged." She smiled after I said that and I smiled after contemplating what I said in the bigger picture...that everything is perfect in being exactly what it is.

e: I've carried the rock around with me every day since to remind me of that


--------------------
The happiness consists in realizing that it is all a great strange dream.

forms in the universe take shape from imperfection, hence, everything in the universe is perfected, in the bigger picture.

nice story.

Well 3 years ago someoneoffered to display a demonstration of optimism. They started an event dedicated to optimism, they were in the sts praising optimism as the true god, they would stop by churchs & offer a word of positive value. We began to look for positve people. Searching every back alley to find each and every last one of them. We raided the town in an effort to discover those that were interested in the campaign. We saw a man wearing a shirt with a happy face on it and instantly took him away & rushed him off to questioning. His interrogation began last Sunday and is still in the process of getting out whatever we can from him. He's going to confess and tell us everything he knows about it, I already know, he can't withstand our sick punishment for long without givingup.

We have canceled all his connections to the outside world. He cannot contac anyone without our permission, we have chosen the people he may and may not socialize with. We have created a list and sent it to him so he knows exactly who & who not to speak to. We have went on his private phone & deleted every person he used to have added into his phone, so if he goes to check them now the entire file will be erased with no record of them ever having being inputted into the phone. We are making sure to erase the memory of this man, we are slowly putting out propaganda messages to make other people forget that he ever existed. We have put up signs with the faces of new people so thatthey will remember the person on the sign but not the other person.
