Re: ...there was a part in a book which I don't remember the name,...

great story rendezvous -- true or not. I remember there was a time in my life when I was seeing most things negatively. the positive thinkers among us expressing their happy thoughts wld sometimes make me feel momentarily like giving them a swift kick in the butt but I know that tho s/he might have not known (hell, I didnt even know at time) in reality s/he was brightening my day, giving me hope, a ray of sunshine to hang on to .... Its a great game to play/teach one's children -- okay what is a good thing that we can see in all of this? -- training them to look for the good, the sunshine in one's day or even within a seemingly hopeless twist of fate.
