Feels so good to be an optimist, sometimes.

Cheers.

It feels good sometimes, but it feels better always :)

I like to visualise it with the ying-yang symbol... if you focus on the light (white), even in the darkest moments there will be a small light shining for you...

But if you focus on the dark (black) there's always a flaw that will ruin even the brightest of moments for you...

good vibes to all who are seeing the cup as half filled :)
 
Schopenhauer said we should judge our lives not by how much happiness we think we have, but by how much suffering we think we avoid. He thought that the only times we really sit down to consider how happy we are is when we're sad. When you're truly happy, you don't bother trying to measure your happiness, you just go with it. Without sounding too depressing, the point I'm trying to make is that if you're telling yourself you've made the other side, or wondering if you've made the other side, then doesn't that sort of suggest that you haven't?

I'm not knocking this thread, I like the idea, but I just thought it was a little ironic to post a thread about making it to the Other Side in the Dark Side section. Does that mean people who post here have made it to the other side or not? .....


Dark Side ----- Other Side


...and how do you know?
 
i am on my way to the other side from a dark, damaging home and relationship... which was intimately connected to illegal prescription drug abuse. im in a safe place now and on med management unfer a doctor.
so for me, i am on my way up. it may have been ironic to post this here but i felt compelled bc of a thread i started entitled calling all experienced xanax users. so if u read that youll unferstand a bit more thoroughly. if u care to. i like the quotation you cited. im on a phone so there are typing limitations.

pain and pleasure are 2 sides of the same coin.
