If you compare yourself to others you will become vain and bitter because always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself
What do you do when you love two things, but it just so happens that those two things are incompatible? And there is nothing to blame or necessarily fix, just the need to accommodate those two things as best as you possibly can.....because you probably love them both for the very things that make them completely incompatible. I guess you just accommodate the two of them as best you can....
The quote is plucked out of Desiderata, that my Bursary English teacher who thought the sun shone out of my ass and was very sensitive about whole plucked chickens because they reminded her of small naked babies quoted at the end of my final year at highschool. It is also reminscent of a speech i listened to tonight on some philosophical principle, the Eastern- something principle or theory, about how the increasing wealth of whole nations or populations doesn't necessarily result in a corresponding increase in their level of happiness, because we all compare ourselves to others and basically are ungrateful shits. Pause for reflection.
If you were to rate your current level of happiness right now on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being deliriously happy and 1 being utterly miserable, what would your rating be?
On that note, the following picture is by request. Feel free to keep them coming in......

You have forgotten to mention what these two things are. You must be referring to something specific, no?

Are you honestly saying that someone requested a picture of a bloke kissing a fish?
If so, then I request a picture of a person standing on one leg while holding a wok. And it better be a good looking person!

I'm on about 7 or 8 too, when I'm not drowning in a pool of mania.
