Mirror, and sudden new thrill

I just read a blogpost that was full of anger and many things foul, the writer hurling accusations at another person. The writer even made a list. I read that post several times, carefully decoding the emotions and intentions behind it. In the end, I felt sorry for the writer. There are two main reasons for that, and I would like to share them with you guys, since it is a big part of life, me think.

1. The more negative we are at others, the more negative we are to ourselves too.
--Simply put, nobody feels good when they are angry or disappointed or sad. The more flaws you see in others, the worse your world becomes. Negativity doesn't lead to improvement and good, and it certainly won't make us better people with better lives.

2. Accusing others of so many bad things, yet what about a list of your own?
--To be honest, for most part of the list the writer wrote, I could have mistaken it for a list targeted at the writer himself. I find it ironic how the writer fails to see more than a few similarities between his accused and himself. Therefore, always self-criticize first, always look into yourself first, before staring at others.

Actually, more importantly, don't just look at others' or your own shortcomings--look at the good, the strong, the positive points.


And now for something completely different, I am going on a trip today and suddenly I am washed by a new thrill of romance. No idea why. Suddenly. Looking forward to it. Letting my past go bit by bit.

Edited: Hahaha..in the end, we didn't make the trip. She wasn't feeling well and ended up resting at my place. Oh well, staying at home to plan for my mom's visit =).
