    It depends on how you look at it.  A little balance would be good but never dwell in pain.  You have the power to change that existence.

    Well sometimes on the weekends I  like to take a break from reality and live in blissful ignorance but  come Monday morning I give my head a shake and get ready to face the painful reality that it is a wild World and it's hard to get by with just a smile. Stole that last bit from Cat Steven's. Cheers!

  • I like your response. I tried to spend my weekend blissfully ignorant as well.

  • I don't know who Alex is but I don't appreciate him selling alternative options on my questions.

    Can we play teams?  We'd be blissful!

    Thank you; sometimes it's fun posting an answer that includes a (semi-)subtle reference to see who gets it.

  • I do the same all the time...I'm a huge fan of music and movies.  When someone gets it you get that "I've found my people" feeling.
