What I learned or was reminded of, which is relearning of a sort.. In any disagreement, dispute, etc. is that their is common ground from the past to bring the dispute to the end if they want to.. Someone finds it, presents it and the other responds.. You presented EA quotes to me.. I was pleased and hopefully responded favorably, that's what I meant.. But within that olive branch, their can be thorns of course.. Which can lead to further strife.. Like you say, their is always something to piss a person off.. But it depends how it is dealt with .. But their is also always something to please, "Pissed or Pleased".. A person can take their choice.. And this has to be an individual choice, because that is the only thing the individual can control.. They can only control their own response.. They can not control the other's response.. So if that is a positive response, chances are the other's will also be positive.. "Likes attract".. A negative response will usually invite the same. A person is confronted with an infinite number of options every moment with all degree of difficulty.. The difficult ones require some thought, and how they are to be dealt with, with should be based upon a person's own history of what worked in the past and what didn't.. Based upon my own history, a positive response always worked best.. In trading, It helped me remember what I can control, only two things initially, whether to make the trade, and how much to bet.. I can't control the direction of the market.. And once in, I can control whether to stay in or get out.. In a nut shell, it was to remind me what I can control.. And that is.... only my own actions.. I have more, but I have rambled enough and I have a trading decision to make, <gg> Have a good one, m
