    Yes it could be. We just need to feel good and keep telling ourselves these stories...

    That's the matter. We have similar things going around us but what and how someone pick that makes the difference.

    That's the point to think about. Do we have that much blessings or we can dig some more of it by not looking at others performance. Like your English is too good but I can feel that I am better than you as my laptop is more clean than yours. :blush:

    Yes that balance needs to be maintained.

    Your sense of humor is also better than mine! I like it. O! you superseded me in this act. I must look out for Amulet now and her rasam-styled bland sense of humor to make myself feel spirited again in comparison (sob! sob!)

    Agree ? Don't agree with people on social forums. They know that you want to close down the argument, and you know that as well. Just don't mention it.
    What is that law of physics ? Chaos theory ? Like some metastable equilibrium exists, until some nutty thing (not quite qualify as black swan) disrupts that ?

    Why? When I disagree with @rgz I mention that .
    Why not when I agree?

    Some forum rules I have written for myself and I'll follow that. :grin:

    Finding out the law is your homework . If you don't get it we will discuss. :yum:

    As I had already said, "agree" has the connotations of "enough of you",
    whereas "disagree" is being agreeable to further discussions with the same person.
    Disagree is an obvious, more friendly sentiment to a forum interlocutor, which offers the opening for additional dialogue.
    The occasional "agree to disagree" we see on forums, that go on to disarm a mexican stand-off, mean that the participants have a love-hate affair.

    There's a catch - you will feel good only if you are convinced.

    This topic is also relevant to the black magic thread: if one is overwhelmed with misfortunes, we tend to lose focus on everything- but to keep us going, we need to externalize the causes with a story - Dhristi, black magic, 7.5 year rule of Lord Shani..
