I'd like to say that I am not a CSS guru nor a CSS expert. I'm only a sensitive person who hates but still uses the web (aaw, such contradictions are stunning!). I hate it because it's completely alienating. I can stand it only a few minutes in the morning, when I check my mail and delete piles of spam messages. I love only the real world, namely what I can see with my real eyes, touch with my real hands and feel with my real heart. Yes, I use it, but only as a means for improving my job skills. Sometimes my sensitiveness really hurts me, so I have to read or do some technical stuff in order to smother it (maybe I'm too sensitive, but you get the idea). I'm sorry, but this is exactly the way I am. The truth is that I can't lie (wow, now we have piles of logical contradictions and romantic half-baked ideas!). By the way, I'm a Cancer and I believe in my profile. And yes, I am proud! Kathleen HannaI've noticed that people generally tend to take advantage of sensitive persons in a way that I can stand (they treat us as bitches, objects and the like). Anyway, I don't think people are cruel or something. Sensitive persons love people but they love them too much, I guess. This is not a matter of self-assurance or being too shy. Sensitiveness has nothing to do with such feelings. Neither is a matter of mere intelligence. For example, I'm a person of average intelligence with no scientific background (yes, I'm bad at programming, maths and so on ^.^). I have good memory, though. I can remember facts, quotations, whatever. People think that this is genius, you know, but I only collect things. No, I think that people's behavior is somewhat related to the way we live now. It's a matter of economics, I guess. We are all affected by economics. Our time, our choices, our hopes have all a price. Everything. It's freaky. This thing scares me so much that I can't watch TV or read a newspaper without feeling a kind of anguish, you know, something that really hurts me. So I came up with the idea that sensitiveness is basically anti-economical. A sensitive person has basically three alternatives: 1. smother sensitiveness 2. find a balance between sensitiveness and economics 3. ignore both sensitiveness and economics A feasible alternative is obviously the second. You need money to live, that's right. This could seem a truism but it's true and I fully agree with that. Yes, I see, alternatives #1 and #3 imply, literally, self-destruction (gee, an average intelligence is not stupidity, you know ^O^). Anyway, this goal is really difficult to achieve. Sometimes we have to choose between our feelings and our economical life. The distinction is not always so clear-cut. For example, imagine that a friend asks you some money but you can't afford it: how do you feel? Frankly, I feel guilty beyond words about this (ok, I'm really too sensitive but I respect at most a different decision). I love people too much, I guess. I'm a Cancer, so I feel really protective. I'm happy especially when I know that another person is happy, OK, and everything's alright. I'm not anxious, though. In case you're wondering, I feel so also with total strangers or people I meet for the first time. I can guess people's unhappiness. I can guess what's wrong with them. I can see it through their eyes. A couple of weeks ago I was cheking my account on an ATM near the central post office of my home town, when I suddenly saw a boy (about 15 years old or something) walking down the street. Well, I could see his desperation through his sad eyes. His eyes were like ashes of a dead fire. I asked him if he was OK. He smiled at me, said nothing and went on. Ok, I'm done now. You can guess who I am. I love you. xxx ^.^/ thanks but now I'm really tired. -- http://www.css-zibaldone.com/ http://www.css-zibaldone.com/test/ (English) http://www.css-zibaldone.com/articles/ (English) http://mimicry.css-zibaldone.com/ (Blog)
