  • Buddha said, when you’re angry, count to ten. When you’re still angry, count another ten.

    Seriously though, most of the time getting mad isn’t worth it. It makes you look bad, makes you inefficient and at the same time makes you and other people feel bad. It’s overall, if we are thinking logically, a negative condition/ situation to be in. Getting angry/ mad brings nothing to the table.

    Try to think like this, every time you’re about to get mad: is getting mad brings anything? Would it change the situation? Can the things already happened be undone? Do I have other choices other than accepting it and fixing the situation? What should I do next? Once you can think like that, calmly, I am sure that you can stop getting mad.

    The problem is, most of the time/ very often, you’re not even aware that you’re angry/ getting angry, and you let your emotions take control of you. That’s why you have to train yourself to be aware of your thoughts/ feelings most of the time, and in that way you can react accordingly, consciously, doing what would be your best action/ most logical action. Some people can achieve this through practicing meditation. I’m sure, once you are more aware on what and how you feel most of the time, you would be able to control your actions/ emotions much better.






  • This is one of the reason why I think the price of property should be regulated somehow by the government. The cost/ tax of a second house should be exponentially higher to discourage people doing this, so that a renting a second house should be a financial catastrophe. Capitalism, free market does not work, especially for basic human needs (food, shelter, health, energy, and if I may say education).

    I myself bought my house 2 years ago, and the price was already ridiculous. Let’s say I paid almost 100k€ more than the estimated worth of the house (cause of market price). I’m pretty sure the price will collapse after some time. The price can increase 30-40 percent in 3-5 years. It’s crazy. The money invested here is much higher than I did when I was renting an apartment tho.

    Sounds great! I still don’t think that a cargo bike is very safe. Especially for a baby. :(

    It definitely crosses my mind, that I’d do that if the kid is getting older. But definitely not before 2-3 years old.

    I haven’t bought a car yet. I’m still in paternal leave so I can manage to do everything. Once I start working, let’s see how well we are doing without a car. :)

    I don’t dare to bring my now 3 months old baby with bike. The weather is still "summer"y now. In winter I wouldn’t do it. I myself have fallen down from bikes at least 4 times in the last couple of years. I can’t imagine if that happens while I’m taking my baby with bike.

    Live in a not so small town in Germany. I haven’t had the need to have a car after I have been living for 9 years.

    I commute with bike to work, take public transport when it’s a farther journey.

    Until I have a daughter a couple of months ago. I realize that I really need a car. :(




  • I’m loving the final fantasy combat/ gameplay. What I don’t like is, lack of playable character, lack of a “real” party, and equipment progress. The story on the other hand… I found it to be too dark and taking itself too seriously at times. Some part of the story is similar with FFXIV, and I think the 14 did it better. The game as a whole, has pacing issue. The last third of the game, is moving the plot very slowly. The ending on the other hand, was done well. It was bittersweet, but on the same time, it gave the same ending vibes as the movie Inception. :D. The ending didn’t destroy me like the 15 did tho. The 15’s ending made me cry like a baby…

    BG3 is good! I enjoy it very much. I’m still very early as I was remaking my character again and again (I think I made about 8-10 characters until I was satisfied).
