brutally honest

thanks for the gentle grilling bestest. and also saying brutally honest things, i need such things from people. to be honest with me. i admit that i just don't give up easily, but a sure way for me to do so is if someone of the right subject says so. which is why i'd rather hear it then for me to reach the conclusion on my own, however sure i am.

there is no absolute in anything, and everything is about position as what my boss says. or like what Einstein says, "everything is relative". nothing is absolutely good, or bad. a quality like persistence, perseverance, go-getter etc etc can all be bad stuff in different situations, in different context.

I must learn the art of gently wrenching open closed doors. it's like opening a tightly shut tin can, only to find that it is really mainly full of emptiness, nothing much to hold on to, nothing much to lose. But the realization is good and healthy I think.
