... i have come to look at things a little differently as opposed to some others line of thinking..sure there are those people out there that we feel "take too much time" getting past their bad experiences,and may carry a negative attitude a little longer than we feel is necessary,but then who am i to make such a judgement call as far as how long one persons need to cycle through what it is thats making them feel this way..
..everyone is different and what may take less time for me to get over isn't necessarily the same for the next guy..and maybe i should be a little more open minded..and understanding
..but what really seems to be at issue is just how long i will tolerate it...smokin

Happiness is an internal state of being.

Either you are happy or you are not.

Outside influences do make the degree of happiness fluctuate but the fact of happiness exists before outside influences can change it.

So if life hands you lemons and you are a happy person, you will make lemon aid and share it will your friends happily. If you are an unhappy person you will sit around with a sour face over your lemons and try to get others to join your misery.


This is so true. I'll have some lemon pie please. bigsmile :tongue:

I do know some people who are chronic. They are always, needy, depressed, etc. They seem to never get over it.
