Hanky, how many times have I adviced you, "Dont drink so much in the morning"

It was actually evening here... ;-) But the fact remains (at least by my book) that mapping oneself and one's negative thoughts and behavioural patterns can be a road to improving as a human being.

One clue here is the abilty to FORGIVE! Man, it can be SO painful to let go and to forgive. Forgive some one who really screwed your ass (in the bad way) and really couldn't care less whether you forgive them or not... now THAT's a challenge that I admittedly have not yet proved man enough to overcome...

Hank, you are looking Charismatic! Keep this avatar.

Ah, live and let live is my policy.

My idea of action:
Let others do what they must, I have no control over their lives. All I can do is control myself. So my platform of action is my own life. For me doing the right thing is all that matters. Whether I succeed or fail in any endeavour is unimportant. Why? Again, I have no control over the results of actions. So I try to act with the right mood and force. And I am more or less satisfied, rejoicing on the fact that I did the right thing.

This way, my mind is also in equilibrium, because it depends not on the outer world (what others do, or the results... these factors always fluctuate), but the inner spirit of action. If I get influenced by the vacillating external world, I will never be in peace.
