"Certainly, but then, no human have the same personlities and
characters, not even our parents and us, therefore, it is subject
to each individual the willingness to change to suit each
other in the best way we can."
Just this to add...personality, generally, refers to our
inner self, ie our soul or spirit or emotions or high consciousness
etc while character, generally refers to our psychological
buiding blocks, ie the way we are brought up, eg pamper,
stingy.....
Hard to gauge if humans have the same personality
(although psychologist can, through series of test) but
from their point of views, a person's character can be gauged
or compared.
"And when a person is able to change for the good of frenship,
he/she is sure to make a lots of frens. That is why some people are
damn lonely and some are so happy in life."
True but happiness and loneliness is also a state of
mind.
Tell you a story of a Vietnam war veteran. He was kept POW for
around 20 years in Vietnam - long after the Vietnam war. The
Vietcon treated him like pig - living around a pig sty and his
living condition no better than the pigs.
He kept his sanity by imagining/creating his happiness in his
mind - really. How? For example, during Christmas he kept himself
happy by imagining himself home at christmas - make a cake out of
mud and sharing it with his imaginary family members. While, in
reality, his family are miles and miles away and they thought
him dead in war.
He saved himself from insanity this way by
1) keeping himself busy and occupied
2) detaching his spirit from his surrounding condition, ie
his living hell.
Such is the power of a human spirit - when adversity comes
knocking.......and that is also what some ppl, who have gone
through severe hardship, means when they said sanity and
insanity is only one fine line.
Wha! very good post, indeed very enlightening. I have learn alot
from you. Thanks.
Just like my grandma, got maid, still wanted to wash cloth,
every morning sweep the floor, go market, i told her to relax, but
she said, for nearly 3/4 of my 70++ years of life, i have been
doing it, not as what you are, spoil, sleeping and playing
only. And if u ask me to stop it, i may leave this world for
good.
Wha lau, habits are hard to change lor. Better dun bother her,
if not later i have to wash plates too.
