Feeling a bit down today, but it is fine. I keep thinking: If we take hardship in physical training as an unavoidable progress we need to go through in order to be better in Kung Fu, then why do we see sadness as a weakness in the individual? Why do we not talk about it, but instead keep saying "I am fine", when people ask you how you are?
So, let me tell you: I feel shitty today. I took time to let my emotion go pass while observing it with an objective mind (if an objective mind excist). I told myself: it is ok to have a less good time, I had already a good time before. This too, will not stay.
However, humor is still a great way to bring a smile on my face even when the weather is cloudy and rainy (as it is today). I came across this list with famous last words from famous people. Some of it just got me cracking... I have a lot of respect for the dead, as death is what bind us together. So what would you say?
Here are some of my favorites:
Am I dying or is this my birthday?
