RE: Personal Quality

@Morgen
Everybody gets down sometimes. Life can be hard but the trick is to get back up and not stay down.

I refuse to let my friends/associates/family members etc. stay down. I can be tough but it's toughness borne out of love.

Yes Morgen people do complain to get sympathy but really what they are after is the knowledge that they matter and have value.
("Please pay attention to me",is what the're really saying).

I prefer to give people what they need as opposed to what they want.

Depressed people in my view ought to be given tools to get out of the depression and not encouraged to hide from it. Pills and therapy are not permanent solutions,but merely ways of coping for the moment. I believe that depressed people don't want to be that way.
I believe that life is good if you are strong and I tell people who are depressed this,and sometimes they agree and try to be strong. And guess what? Some of them succeed.

But we're going a bit off topic here,so my apologies to @inthemind.

We all knew that Australian beer makes you see double. But until now we didn't know that it would make you post double.

@inthemind
I went back and looked at my post where I discuss depression.
I need to add, that not everyone can be strong. But I do believe in the theory of tough love. I have helped people overcome transient/short term depression. Long term depression I know very little about.
But some people are too sensitive and get hurt easily. I do feel compassion for those who suffer from depression but I also believe in trying to get them to fight back.

I suppose not suffering from this has made me a bit hard on this subject. I do need to be more understanding,we all do.

So...I will take back the part where I mentioned self pity. That wasn't entirely fair,and it's more complicated than that.

RE: I am out of hiding

@nrodi
You and me both dear. I am here only for the blogs. My profile narrative is very clear on this.

I'll go with a few e-pals if they are sincere,nothing wrong with that. But I'm definatly "NOT" on the market.

I'm too busy to devote the time and energy needed to be with someone. Life is simpler and easier when alone,agree?

RE: Personal Quality

@inthemind
Honesty,I mean "REAL" honesty requires 2 things. Courage and arrogance.

You need to have the courage to be able to see the real you. And if you don't give a hoot what others perceive you as,then you'll be arrogant enough to state it.

There is a wonderful liberating freedom in not caring what others think of you. Also if you have good self esteem and truly have self respect,then being honest with yourself comes easy.

You've got plenty of good life skills,you can be an example here.(if you were so inclined)
I prefer leaders as opposed to followers.

You are a kinder heart than I,but even so I do feel like I can identify with you.

And yes you are right,I am feeling comfortable here.

RE: Personal Quality

@inthemind
Oh dear,you've done it now. You've changed the subject when you brought up clinical depression. I could write all day on this.(don't even get me started)

Depression starts with self pity and a feeling of hopelessness. Then docters add to the feeling of being hard done by and give you pills. Then you are dragged down into a medicinal vortex.

I say that life is good if you're strong. I do not allow myself the luxery of self pity. Life is tough and one needs to be tough in order to function in it.

That's all I'll say on the subject lest I be accused of being insensitive to the poor dears,who get depressed all the time.

I do help them,but can't seem to muster up respect for them. It's hard to be a tough angel...we are supposed to be compassionate I know.

This angel comes with black tipped wings.

@Morgen the Bloodthirsty
I understand that in the last 2 or 3(maybe 4)years that Norway has become quasi civilized,and that Viking raids are at an all time low.

So...I assume that you've hung your shield on the wall and that your spear and sword are standing in the corner of your hut?

How on earth are you now going to occupy yourself without burning villages and looting as a pastime?

@inthemind
It's downright scary how fast you've got me figured out. I'll have to be careful what I write from now on.

Anyway very interesting blog,and thanks for creating it. Blogs like this are precisely why I joined CS in the first place.

By the way,I won't be creating any blogs as I don't think I can commit to the time nessessary to answer the posts.

@Morgan the Bloodthirsty
Why dont you simply sail your ship(the one with the dragon carved in front)and burn down Marlene's village,then you can sling her over your shoulder. You'd have a 10 then.

P.S. Don't forget to grab the silverware and a few chickens and cows while your pillaging.

RE: Personal Quality

@Morgan the Bloodthirsty
Actually they came about 1,000 years ago at Meadows Aux Lans in Newfoundland.
They(the Vikings) referred to it as Vinland. It is now a historic park and the Viking bulidings have been completly restored.

Anyway now that I know about your anscestors,I'm not going to mess with you as you might come here and burn down my village!

RE: Personal Quality

Whoops I meant "sagas".

RE: Personal Quality

@"Morgan the Brave"
Now there is a good Viking name! That was very interesting about the bards.
Have you ever traced your ancestry,are you directly descended from Vikings?

RE: Personal Quality

@morgan
You are slowly becoming my favorite on here.

Just think,800 short years ago you Vikings were raping,looting,pillaging,and burning villages. Look how far you Berserkers have come!

Here you are trying to comfort me. Who would have thought that the Vikings would soften so much!

RE: Cinderella's Wishes

Well I'm of Irish descent so if you are anything like the Irishmen I've known and you were plastered at that wedding,methinks you might be Irish?

RE: Cinderella's Wishes

If I may be allowed to wander off topic a bit. Are you sticking out your tonque in that picture of yourself?

It certainly looks that way....A Scottish tradition right? Sticking your tonque out at strangers.

RE: Is adoption a good idea?

I believe that any couple that goes to all the trouble of going for interviews,signing all the papers,jumping through all the legal hoops,and commits to the expense of adopting,would be very motivated and dedicated parents.

And of course a child gains a home and a future.I believe adoption is a blessing for both.
