I couldn’t agree more. The best and safest opponent for anyone is the one in the mirror.

@Tebogo ,Thanks and you are right, the owner self matters most in his quest for life.

Very inspiring words. Those who are restless with their present lives should learn from it. Contentment is the word; to love the life you have, no matter if you are rich or poor. Sometimes the poor are happier with their lives than the rich who could not sleep well thinking of how to earn more and more; or they could not sleep because of fear that some burglars could barge into his home and steal his wealth! His happiness lies on his money alone.

I agree with you one hundred per cent. We cannot change our birth. We cannot change our status, family, nativity etc. Hence accept them as they are and find out the positive points in them and live a happy life.

I know it is easily said than practised. I repeatedly tell myself that what God has given me is more then what I deserve.

This thinking has come only after crossing 65=. GOOD DAY.

i for sure have to say yes people live how they feel, if you wake up feeling bad then you are will feel bad in the things around youu, you are going to see bad things even at a standing trees, that if you gave up o that feeling and the opposite right also. so do chnage yout life the turn you like it to take

@SAMBASIVAN.S, Hi thank you for dropping by and share your very valuable comment. Your thoughts about this is essential to life and those who may happen to read your opinion may have a change of mind not to dream so high beyond the each of a vulnerable self for it is true that we are destined to what we are unless find some points to elevate somehow life we like to happen to us. There is a guarantee for a better life should we only aspire and work out what we want to happen for the better

@dealio , Life is what we make it if we want prosperous life, it could be if we want miserable life, then it could be for there are so many bad elements that roam around the planet this time. What is important to a person is work hard for a better life for God does not like to see us in vain of sufferings of hunger and pains.

We can no longer change the present unless started the change in the past so when tomorrow comes as the reason of your hard work, there will be less struggles at all financially That alone is best image for a new life. It is hard to make life profitable if already old i deciding for the best possible ways to achieve a better life. All you have to do is acceptance and just make your health okay all the time and make everything happen while still alive and energetic.

This is a very interesting piece of writing. No going around the bushes in manner of speaking but very straight forward or direct to the point. Yes, the message really hit the mark.

I found the title “The Basics of Being Ugly” a bit amusing and at the same time quite absorbing. Who wants to be ugly in the first place? Everyone wants to be beautiful am I right?

The title reminds me of our college class back in the old days in the Art Appreciation/Humanities especially in Aesthetics. I vividly recall that our professor once told us that in Aesthetics “there is no such thing as ugly, only less beautiful”.

As I understand the writings the word ugly covers both the “physical ugliness” and the “ugliness of character”.

Whether or not there is such a thing as “Martha’s House” or it is a mere fictionalized representation, it is quite intriguing that a group of girls with physical and character ugliness are tied together in one place.

I believed that the development of any person character is always dependent upon the “nature-nurture” thing (genetics and environmental factors).

If and when I’m going to meet those girls in the near future (who knows?) I’m going to be just my old self: just be myself and to carry myself as gentleman.

that was nice and you make ppl now hungery just reading the title, i prefer sweets not pies, pies are hard little bit , so cheese cake or donuts are better and easy to eat for those who like also to eat with soft drinks, thanks
