 To all those who think I'm crazy, or have told me I'm crazy:
I'm really happy in my crazy world, with my crazy friends, with whom I love sharing crazy times!

 Photo by Flickr / Mystic Muse Nyx I was having an intimate conversation with a psychologist friend one day, and it came as quite a shock to me when she suggested that, often times, our acts of kindness are motivated by a subconscious desire to be needed, liked and loved … because of our own lack of self-acceptance and self-love. She added that this is evident if we feel resentful when our acts of kindness are not appreciated.
I had always thought of myself as being a caring and loving person, yet I did feel resentful when people appeared ungrateful. Did she have a point?  Like most of us, I grew up in a goal-oriented society. I went to school in order to get good grades, in order to get a good job, in order to get a good pay, in order to have plenty of money, in order to buy all the things I want, in order to secure my future, in order to be able to do the things I really enjoy doing, in order to be happy.
I was taught that one day, when I have achieved all these things, I would be happy. There was only one snag: I wanted to be happy NOW! Isn’t that what we all really want? |
