again perception arives. everyone is against something and all cannot be accomodated. reality is a fact, exists and is NOT perceived. it is.
people need to (must) man up and don't sweat the small shit.
As I said to Carlos, having information from multiple points of view informs decisions about how to proceed better. "man up and don't sweat the small shit" does two things - (a) dismisses those who actually are affected as having an 'invalid' view of the world, reinforcing the idea that yours is the only one that matters, and (b) perpetuates things that are actively harmful through ignorance of the fact that things are harmful.
definitely not. it means that you take care of that which you have control and do not worry about that which you do not. and then perception enters and screws up everything. by definition, perception != reality. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
