Nonetheless, that is the reason why I never seek "divine" intervention like fengshui or fortune telling etc.<br /><br />My wife was a bit pissed with my stubbornness ...<br /><br />I explained: I totally believe in the art of fengshui or fortune telling. But I told her 2 things <br /><br />1) future is dynamic and not static, it might be good now and then bad later, and vice versa, what good is piecemeal info<br /><br />2) fortune telling might tell me what "misfortune" might befall, but never how I react to them. Just like what you say about mental images <br /><br />She told me can reduce impact through chanting ... I told her I dun believe in it, so no point chanting. But will not stop her from doing so. I do notice her temper better after all the chanting Sillyinvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228581533460899084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011194091106156925.post-25808937649761399642015-11-21T00:29:39.544-08:002015-11-21T00:29:39.544-08:00yes mike

I know what you mean. Being contented and ...Hi SI,<br /><br />I know what you mean. Being contented and at peace doesn't mean no ambition and not striving for the best. It's hard to explain. Perhaps it's about striving for more but at peace with the results? I'm not sure, because it doesn't quite capture what it feels like. Also doesn't matter, we don't have to understand. Sometimes we just have to feel.<br /><br />As for myself, I've never worked so hard in my life before. Getting my well deserved break now. Trying not to start the next cycle of work even though parents are asking for the kids to start. Wah, really so kiasu ah? lolla papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011194091106156925.post-38617549140842737762015-11-20T17:56:39.596-08:002015-11-20T17:56:39.596-08:00hi Mike

Oh no. I seriously didn't meant this p...Hi LP,<br /><br />Oh no. I seriously didn't meant this post to be a whiny or letting off steam post. <br /><br />Guess it seem "depressing"?<br /><br />The toughest part is behind me, in terms of hectic schedule etc. <br /><br />What really got me writing is really what I see ... I had a colleague with one misfortune after another ( parents and in laws unwell, then dad pass away, then in law conditions worsen, then she need to go surgery) she still smile at me, but I can feel "沧桑” in her smile as the tired eyes betray her. <br /><br />I have been hearing about "sick/ injured" people in my school very frequently, and I usually ask and chat ... Cancers, Parkinson's, a bad fall that required work to be stopped, <br /><br /><br />Choice is no longer that important other than that in the mind to accept? Isn't it?<br /><br />Sickness ... <br /><br />My mum is with my sis and her sis at Taiwan the last week, I saw radiant smile in the photigraphs taken. I think it has been decades she went out with her sister. I know despite all the flaws she has little expectations FROM Ms Life. Small indulugences gave her so much joy.<br /><br />Lively colleague (personally do not know her) bond to the bed and asking when she will recover when the truth is she is just waiting to die and she knows it. She is getting awake to meet friends. <br /><br />Actually, now when something happens, I get less irritated. I quarrel with wife, in law unhappy with maid, conflict with colleagues, etc<br /><br />The duration of "unhappiness" is now shorter and intensity lower.<br /><br />过眼云烟<br /><br />Expectations of others and even myself has dropped 3-4 notches <br /><br />Maybe SMOL will have something to say about aim low and achieve low. <br /><br />More at peace than usual actually. But at peace (equilibrium point) is lower than in the past where I think I can have the world on my palm.<br /><br />Lower point of peace does not mean I stop striving higher. But that I do go higher and fall lower is no longer that important <br /><br />Better acceptance of myself. Whether u call it denial is up to others ... <br /><br />My lens my life Sillyinvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228581533460899084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011194091106156925.post-42725324432124975652015-11-20T17:23:05.061-08:002015-11-20T17:23:05.061-08:00Thanks SMOL,
