  • Oh of course. The most annoying thing life teaches is that no matter how hard I try, there will always be someone who dislikes me, disapproves, or is very negative. That's why I have determined that I don't really care what other people think. This me and it's up to you whether you like me or not. :)

  • It definitely makes life easier not caring. Although, I must say I'm glad you like me :)

  • Occasionally. Those are the signposts, the times I realise that it ain't always the way I want it to be. Maybe the world can't (or won't) adjust but I can.

    Yes.  Life can be brutally harsh and unfair at times.  It stinks if being "tough" don't come so natural to you either.

  • For whatever it is worth, I don't think there's anything wrong with not being tough.  I think this mentality that exalts toughness and competition and being first, is nothing but a media construct to make us buy things. Just saying.

    It all depends on how one chooses to respond.  Certainly there are discouraging moments for us all, but we can choose to wallow in our discouragement or use it as inspiration.

    Older and wiser perhaps, but still doing what makes you happy.

  • "Yes" ... that "Justice" and "The Law" aren't always the same thing.
