Serious
In a way, I feel I'm too serious. And that is not a good thing. Have you ever stopped to notice that the least serious among us are often the most sane? Insanity (the clinical form) often strikes those who lose something that is extremely important to them: a thing or person whose presence he/she takes extremely seriously; a person or thing whose loss he can't shrug off.
That's on the other side of the fence. On this side, among the sane (relatively speaking) the fear of loss of such things can be paralyzing; it can compromise your objectivity; it can cloud your judgment; it will prevent you from doing things that you should do and force you to do things that you shouldn't.
Those who take things too seriously are more easily pissed off; more easily depressed; more easily terrified, etc. etc.
So exactly how seriously should you take things? I think the answer to that differs from person to person. But I can tell you my answer: certainly not as seriously as do I.

Interesting post kermit.I've seen people who dont take things too seriously.It's like they glide through everything in life and have a laugh for every nook and corner in it.
But i do also know that some of them change completely when something serious DOES happen, it's too much for them to comprehend.
Now when your too serious about things,you tend to be like this tortoise wearing a magnifying glass.Every miniscule object viewed from within it's shell is treated like a positive nuke object waiting to explode.Any small touch, bump is taken seriously.
how seriously should you take things?.Like you said depends from person to person, but if you feel your too serious, laugh.it helps :)
tortoise w/ magnifying glass -- where did you get that metaphor? but i guess you're right about what happens to not-so-serious people when they come across a situation they can't laugh about.
but i don't necessarily mean people who laugh at life, but those who -- how should i say -- take life with a pinch of salt?
Hehe i get them from my own imagination :D. Hmm people who take life with a pinch of salt? . I have two thoughts here.One is that people like that are very rare to find.And some people tend to exude such an aura, internally it isnt actually so?its emm a facade to the real picture?
Make that 'whilst internally' ...grrr
i know. i exude that same aura sometimes. but there are people like that.
oh you do??? hehe ok..incidently your still at work ??:0
