For example, if i know something is not right and other are ecouraging me to do that wrong thing , I must "stand like a rock", and do what is right. If everyone is having fun and ejoying the day so should I like to swim with the currents.

The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. #<Author:0x00007fd44673ff38>

I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward.
