Feeling good - that's something we all like. The nice and warmth that brings to our hearts when we feel good, about ourselves and about our environment.

Uhh, but now as I'm writing this entry, I'm not exactly feeling good. Stressed is the word I would use. But well, I would say that there are many ways to feel good. Often, its after something really terrible (or maybe I shouldn't use the word terrible, more like taxing and demanding) that we will feel good. Different people feel good in different ways.

Chatting about something often tells people what makes you feel good / bad. Its that thing that you talk about, the way you talk about it, and the tone you attach to the thing that tells people how you feel. There is a friend, he often love to talk happily about who has more freedom, who has less work to do. Basically - who is more slack. And he enjoys himself in that world. That shows what he really enjoys, and what he really feels good about isn't it?

He feels good about slacking. Ok, some of you may find that very queasy, but well thats alright! ITs very common! Everyone loves to slack! Who doesn't want to have nothing to do, nothing pressing on you, and you can enjoy whatever you like to? That's great life isn't it? But the problem is, You shouldn't indulge yourself in slacking. It is a good thing, you feel good about it. But think, is there something out there that will make you feel even better?

Peace comes after a storm, Sweetness comes after bitterness. You may have realised that often, we feel really good about something if we really put in hard work into it. Its that sense of achievement, that feeling that you had played an important and integral role in something great and successful. Its that respect people give you for doing something, its that image that you have crafted for yourself in others - the way people look at you differently (in a positive way of course). But often before we could reach that sweetness, the bitterness have already kicked us off the edge of the earth.

People tend to avoid bitterness, in other words hardship or something difficult. ITs ok. Naturally people want to enjoy more than work. Of course there are some people who work what they enjoy, but that's besides the point. People fear work, fear the trouble and the sacrifices that we have to make. The try to avoid it. Its just like the Berlin Wall. Sighting from the Eastern Bloc to the Western Bloc, one sees great future and prosperity. But, for fear of death, they avoid crossing it totally. They rather remain on the watching side of the Eastern Block. YET, they love the feeling of accomplishment. That's hard to achieve isn't it.

Many people tried to use unscrupulous means. Thats tantamount to tunnelling under the wall. Ok, the tunnels did succeed in bringing capable people over, but thats not the main point of arguement. Maybe it wasn't that good an example to use afterall. But the point is that many people want to try to wade their way past without the courage to face the obstacle. Thats a wrong mentality to face. You need that bitterness to fully enjoy the sweetness of success.

I don't like people who feel good in a negative way. Feeling good is something that you gain from achievement, and that I feel that is the greatest feeling - the feeling of success.
