RERUN 3 AM5

[aswase]

To those whom are reading this, I have a question. Preferably answered by those whom have read the black dragons 2.0, or models. In the book it states that happiness is easily attained, but only attained by being good to others. What if those others are disrespectful to you? I would consider that niceness, but i'm curious as to what others views on are good/kind, versus nice.

I read Models about four times.

Giving means giving without ulterior motives. That means the only thing you really have are the things you willingly give away without expecting anything back.

The sub-story of the story that you told demonstrated that you are still emotionally connected to your ex. You entered into a pissing match with her bf. You could have easily said "No problem, I'll take you to the hotel for a nice dinner in exchange." They would have gotten what they needed, you would have demonstrated to her bf that you weren't trying to ingratiate yourself to your ex, and you would have gotten a meal out of it. If you did that, you wouldn't have likely posted anything. You are just smarting because you couldn't be the knight in shining armor.

To be honest, I don't feel emotionally connected to her. I was once obsessed with her years back of course. Perhaps there are underlying feelings; not that i'm aware of at the moment really, but I have been busy.
I already ate, and the guy immediately got pissed when I offered a shorter solution. I had a spare 15-30 min, but not an hour to and from at 10:30 at night.
That. and the fact that I can only drive illegally at the moment.
My question was wether or not helping them even after the boyfriend got pissed when I wasn't really thinking about doing anything with his gf was reasonable. It was only after the fact that I started thinking of creating an opportunity haha.

From my understanding, it would've pushover work, and I made the correct decision. If I helped, then I would've been the "Knight in shining armor." "Giving means giving without ulterior motives. That means the only thing you really have are the things you willingly give away without expecting anything back." Your solution was a trade btw. Not giving.

Thanks for the insights though. Just cause I don't consciously feel anything doesn't mean there aren't any subconscious emotions at work.
