It’s how you look at certain things, whether you want to look at the good or bad side of it.. And I think it’s best to try too hard to appear good and turn out to be hypocrite..

And I think the parent in the elevator was just trying their best to help their daughter to forget about the incident, but it was counter-productive.

You’re much appreciated for your comments. I agree very much parenthood these days lack an open platform for children to have a voice of their own and I’m seeing the effects of that with the youths that I work with.

Of course there are times when a parent really needs to ‘enforce the law’ in order to get a justified point across. Kids can be a handful. However, I still see that the root issue lies in a parent’s belief system about how “I” should raise “My” child. IMHO, to have open communication between parent and child. Parents could exercise a little more self awareness cos ultimately, the child BECOMES the parent by relation.

My hope for parent-child communication in modern society is for both sides to put down that “I need to be right” mindset and work toward a resolution, therefore opening up the possibility of future positive communication. Guess that goes for couples too huh! A little idealistic but at least it’s a start.

Off topic, bluehost has been serving me well. It is fantastico enabled and pricing is reasonable. US$6.95/mth for a 2 year sign up and US$7.95/mth for 1 year. They give me a free domain and I can host unlimited add on domains up to 300GB. Support is fast too. The thing that made my decision was the fact that they registered the free domain under my name rather than theirs. I’ve heard of others hosting companies that register free domains under the host’s name and there is much dispute when the registrant wants to transfer hosting companies. Please do check that with the companies you are thinking of about this.

Have a great week.

The thing about desirable and undesirable, is subjective to our preferences. I would assume that there isn’t any specific guideline to indicate strictly what is desirable and vice versa. Given that in reality, there could be situations that we need to “break the rules” to get a justified point across. For instance, the much talk-about incident of 2LT recently about not following the chain of command. Assuming, the entire saga would have been swept under the carpet and covered up if he had followed the chain of command.

I see the whole point of anger management as being a startup key to the process of improvement and dealing with the resentment proper. We hear of many “just cool down” from people but ultimately, does it resolve the problem? I guess people should start questioning the source of anger and directing the anger into understanding the full picture and what need to be done. That is greatly missing in our modern day society, to sit down and reassess the root behind each anger and unhappiness before we decide or advise someone else on how to manage the whole incident.

Off-topic: Are you hosting through bluehost? If you are, how’s your experience with them? I am currently considering hostmonster but would like some feedback on more host.
