Originally posted by Harkoliar: damn lag im way behind the argument now Of course, that is obvious, Harkoliar. Doh, I know he's not meaning to say we should celebrate sad events, but accept them and deal with them. That is perfectly clear to me. My disagreement in this is that I don't think everybody can deal with every situation and emerge a better person. I don't think the foolproof way of living a happy life is to choose to live one (though a positive approach is certainly helpful) because of circumstances that we cannot imagine (because we haven't experienced them ourselves). i agree with you on that Melusine... while 250 says (on what i understood so far) that positive attitude about a certain event will help change yourself to a positive effect, you say that there is not full proof way you will act positively since in the first place you havent experienced the pain or the sadness of the event therefore you cant exactly CHOOSE to be positive in that event... right?? ps: off-topic, if your wasting precious seconds typing my full name, Hark or Har will do fine

Yes, that was exactly what I was trying to say, thanks for paraphrasing it better!
(I do agree that a positive stance can make all the difference, I didn't agree that you can always choose to find a way out, because sometimes there isn't one)

LOL - I was going to ask you about Hark - but in Dutch, it denotes a certain gardening tool...hehe, Har it is then
