      We are all educated to different extent in different fields. Given my specialisation, I would like to share an old African parable.

      A young farmer moves next door to an old one. The old farmer, being richer and with more land, decides to go over to the young farmer's land and burn it so it cannot produce .

      The young farmer goes over to the old farmer and kills the old farmer's family. Who has won?
      To me, right or wrong, win or lose are not very important to me. The most important to me are my friends. I can be right and won over a debate but lose a friend, then there will be meaningless to me. Without friends, no one accompany me for dinner this evening, no one playing boardgames with me tomorrow and no one talking to me in this forum so I will try my best to build friendship with everyone and not allow myself losing any friends.

          But you are giving up “win” craving, for another “friend” craving. Both are still cravings that lead to non peace

            Yes, you are correct, whenever my friends gave me up, I was very sad. 😢

              Why would anyone give you up? You're a very nice person :snuggles:

              I went to town today for lunch with my kid and some errands, dressed like a hobo. But my friend said, \"I cant believe you're wearing berms in the middle of the day!\" My toddler saw all these skyscrapers and said, \"很高!\" I took the chance to introduce the first 成语 to him... 人山人海 😂

              Still scared sharing stories of my children. I'm scared people will see it as weakness and attract the wrong 'attention.'

                  That’s the gelato we bring the boys after term exams for bonding. Short distance fr sch, so easier to arrange. Memories still in our hp shots. Pls take lots of pics whenever u go out bonding with yr child.

                      I really don't know and I am still thinking why one of my friends has given me up recently, maybe it is my fault, (我做得不够好), I am trying to improve my way of talking and better control my emotions in future. Hope the friend will forgive me.

                      Glad that you have enjoyed a lunch at town today. We are all here to support each others.
