hmmm.
had sixteen English sentences to translate into 漢語 and i managed to do some. some had weird technical terms which i have no wish to go googling for
yet.just advised my vvnice or innocent or pure friend to be selfish. oh i won't sell you out=p, unless you choose to tag on my tagboard innocently lol. as i grew older, i started tweaking the meaning of selfish, and i started to view things with a more emotionally detached mindset. i'm still the emotional kind, and the ever blind optimist. perhaps the optimist thing is more of a facade i'm hiding behind. or maybe like the selfishness, the optimist scale varies in from situation to situation. for example, towards some people, the optimistic vibes never die. you just keep on believing in them, keeping a tight hold on the enormous amount of faith you have on these people, based on the emotional relationships you share with them. whether or not the feelings are reciprocated, although these vibes remain for a longer time when they are reciprocated, and when support always flows in a two-way direction. towards some other people, the initial optimism used to burn brightly, but as you become older and wiser, and more sensitive (though it might be hypersensitive on your part) to the inconsistency of emotional exchange, the optimism flow will start to ebb, and either completely erode away or be reduced to the average. and to the rest of people, the optimism level is kept at bare minimal. close to zero expectations may reap higher unexpected returns.
okay i was originally talking about selfishness but i digressed.
anyway, yes, i advised the friend to be selfish cos a certain amount of selfishness benefits ourselves in the long run. i'm not advertising selfishness. or rather, imo, i'm stating facts. although it may be due to human's selfish nature that mankind created the environmental disasters with melting icebergs and rising sea levels, i don't think man will stop being selfish.i thought i was starting to talk gibberish.
