...See more I am new here, and this might not be the best place to put this thread, but I have a question for you guys. (both listeners and talkers) Let's start with story time: Once upon a time there was a man who bough a house near a lake in France. But he could not sleep because all the frogs in the pond made too much noise. As he lay in bed, he though of the hundreds of frogs that were keeping him up, and he had an idea. He would kill all the frogs, and sell the legs to the local restaurant. He went to a restaurant and told the manager he would sell him one hundred frog legs. The next day the man brought only two frog legs to the restaurant. When the manager asked where the other legs were the man said, "there was only one frog in my pond". The moral of the story is, Problems always seem bigger late at night.  I can really relate to this story. Sometimes, (like late at night, or when I'm distressed), things seem really bad. But other times, (like when I'm happy or distracted), things seem not bad at all. This is confusing. My bar tender said that he only tries to understand his problems when he feels balanced. But when I'm feeling good I often ignore my problems. What do you guys think?
