Interesting question, I'��ll bite. I'll start with red flags so I end on a positive note. Generally speaking some of my red flags are related to ethics of character, the things I mentioned in my profile. Lack of honesty is the number one red flag for me. It'��s one of the easiest to spot. By use of the Socratic Method I can ask a question I already know the answer to followed by other questions which lead to truth or revelation of information. This will expose and make clear a person's level of dishonesty and deceit, sometimes without them even knowing how much they showed their true colours. On a positive note green flags for me are things that are opposite to red flag items. Such as, a person's willingness to share information without me having to ask about it. A major green flag item for me is when someone shows use of the golden rule. E.g. If you want me to make a big sacrifice for you, how about considering first making a major sacrifice for me. (do unto others as you want done to you).

When I was younger I believed the humorous phrase that ��Life is a bit** and then you die. After some experience I've come to understand that this phrase is sooooo untruthful. LIFE IS GREAT AND SO WONDERFUL!!! So I'��ve coined a new phrase. Life is great, but in life you meet some shitty people who will try to shi* on your life, and then you die. Basically what I am trying to say is we should not take the difficulties of others and try to simplify them, no matter where they fall on our own totem pole. Living in a pretentious bubble may have its place at difficult times in life, but you can'��t go through life pretending that bad things are good. That simply is not real living but rather existing. One of my iconic heroes was said to have sweat blood as he agonized over a difficult task he had to go through in his life. This taught me that we should all embrace our difficulties with honesty, we should even agonize over them at times and call them what they are. I believe by doing this we will all have a greater respect for the difficult times of others.
