Super User A-Jay Posted July 28, 2015 Super User Posted July 28, 2015 Today was the worst day ever And don’t try to convince me that There’s something good in every day Because, when you take a closer look, This world is a pretty evil place. Even if some goodness does shine through once in a while Satisfaction and Happiness do not last. And it’s not true that It’s all in the mind and heart Because True happiness can be obtained Only if one’s surroundings are good It’s not true that good exists I’m sure you can agree that The reality Creates My attitude It’s all beyond my control And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that Today was a good day. Now read it from the bottom to the top. A-Jay 8 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 Well done A-Jay! When read correctly (from bottom up) it reminds us that attitude is the key. Your attitude inspires me. Thanks man. Edit: After reading it again, it reminds that attitude is key whether read from the top or the bottom! 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 Very nice.....I've learned this much more and am more thankful since the loss of our daughter to cancer. Helps me to be more grateful and also understand better what others have gone or are going through. Today is a gift and a chance for many things. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted July 29, 2015 Super User Posted July 29, 2015 Being a negative Nellie makes for an unhappy life all the time; however, history is proof that a naively positive attitude is not key either. People and children have been murdered and raped, countries and people have destroyed each other over differences in religion and creed, native peoples and races have been subjugated, etc. Good attitudes don't make these things positive. To me, a realistic attitude with the discipline to keep trudging on even when things are bleak is what makes for a happy life. Happiness is acceptance of the bad things, while making sure to keep an eye out for everything that is good. Trying to turn every bad thing into a positive minimizes the pain that this life has dished out to some groups of people. Having said that, A-Jay's post is still really cool. 1 Quote
