recycled wisdom

in a fortune cookie(or some book), confucius (or someone else, my memory fails me) said, something to the effect of "the more you know, the more you forgive".

it dawned on me - Happiness

in life,happiness should not be a goal, it should be the default.

of being and trying to be

being cool means not trying [p.s. if you rush to interpret 'not trying' as 'being lazy', then please contact me in person before you read further,else, ignore this and read on].if that were so, how does one be cool? one cannot be cool by trying, for trying is not what cool people do, but if your not already cool and want to be cool, you'll basically have to start somewhere. so you might have to start trying to be cool by trying to not try, but trying to not try is as silly as whatever, and wouldn't be cool. your back to square one really, for earlier, you were not cool cause you weren't just being, you were trying, and cool people,they don't try,they just be, thats what made them cool in the first place. in fact, in principle, cool people should be unaware of their coolness. so if your not already cool and want to get there,what can you do? it may seem like a catch 22, or it may seem that cool people can only be born cool. but its not so. coolness is easily attainable.
to be cool, all you have to do...is just be. try or otherwise.
