Got some counter arguments today about my previous thoughts on Difficult People, well, felt that I should post it here so you guys can get a read. There are no arguments from me, because I refused to, ;)
Never argue with an idiot, people close by may not be able to tell you apart
Its a chance HE gave you to improve yourself, on how to deal with the idiot, if you succeed, you are a better person at the end of the day
Its a chance for you to show how forgiving, and loving you can be, by forgiving the idiot, and still love him
HE let you chance upon this idiot, because HE knows that there's no other person that can handle it better than you can
So, see it not as a curse to come across idiots in your life, but see it as a blessing, that you are given a chance to improve yourself.
Have you asked yourself what makes you happy? Is it relaxing, lying on a bed listening to your favorite music, is it singing your heart out in a karaoke session, or is it playing your favorite instrument? Is it going for a tour, is it dining at romantic and exquisite restaurants, is it buying new clothes?
Some people sought happiness from external factors, some people from within. The former will be forever playing a catch up game, as the external factors always changes, and people do get bored and tired of going to the same place for tour, dining at the same restaurant, and wearing the same clothes. When the excitement is over, more and more external factors are needed to make one happy.
Happiness should be sought within, how do you make yourself happy when you are alone, in your house? If you have an answer to that question, then you can almost be guaranteed of eternal happiness for yourself.
