I should also say, I think you were right in your post in that, unlike me, you focused your anger on situations rather than individuals. In general, I too prefer that approach. more…

...I'd rather be more careful with my spelling!..

Anger is understandable in many cases, and, unless you let it out properly, it can be very frustrating, and, in the long run, self-defeating.

I try to understand in distributing my anger.

As a rule, I reserve rather more of it for those I consider most responsi more…

I believe that, through experiences, our soul learns how to respond to anything. That does not mean that we become heartless.

Anyway, you do not sound like that at all...

...but I might be completely wrong and your Birthday is nowhere near. Most websites have some time lag in updating their information.

Anyway, one's date of birth is a piece of personal information that had rather not be released online these days, even indirectly (although people still do it a lot).
So it might be better if you d more…

The age in your profile just changed (from 26 to 27).
This perhaps means that today or yesterday, you had your Birthday.
If it was yesterday, I hope it was Happy.
If it is today, Happy Birthday!

I don't mean to sound dogmatic, but that's the way I see it.

The concept I described above is also referred to as `nihilism'.

Another contemporary meaning of `cynicism' - closer to the original - is that people are motivated purely by self-interest. I don't think that is true either.

But I can sympathise (up t more…

There are various ways to understand `cynicism'.

The way I understand the word, in contemporary talk, it means that everything is pretty much the same, and nothing really matters more than something else, and whether we do this or that, it makes no real difference, despite appearances.

So understood, cynicism is simply not more…

Good to hear you dynamic!

Is intelligence a gift or a curse? This is an ancient question. Accumulated experience seems to suggest that it is a gift.

The problem of balancing and combining things becomes unsolvable when people do not understand. It is very different when they do.

So I agree that reality can be more…

I am sorry that you feel that way.
I don’t think you are weak, but all of us – even the strongest ones – feel weak occasionally.

About “Destiny”, I think that it may exist and still be compatible with “effort”.

“Destiny” means that SOME things are predetermined. It does not follow that EVERYTHING is predetermined dow more…

Another thing.
There are many things you could take from the West, but personally I would not recommend the cynicism and consequent pessimism of some western authors who proclaim `the end of this' and `the end of that' (although I have not read the ones you mentioned in previous posts).
I think that when it comes to human possibilities more…

The question is: Do you really want to do it?
If Yes, then you should do it.
If No, if you are to do it with sadness instead of joy in your heart, then I think you should not do it just because you are expected to do it. You should say: Sorry, No! (or: I need to think about it!)
It's your life after all, and you are still very you more…
