Chrysanthemum Flower Bed
I have a problem with my priorities. Well, not the priorities themselves, but with setting them. But actually, thinking about it, it's society and not me, who has a problem with (and how I set) my priorities.
So, in terms of the positive thinking attitude,
I do not have a problem with my priorities.
I don't wish to ignore society's problem with regard to that, and I will try to compromise if possible. But if, to my honest opinion, I do no harm to anyone or anything, neither to the priority itself*, I should not be negatively affected by it (which is not the same as "I can't be bothered", although sometimes that is how it seems).
* quite important as well, otherwise why call it a priority?
Good, that's out of the way then.
I've got no problem with priorities. For that reason I found myself searching on YouTube for this song DW mentioned in his post, instead of clearing up laundry, cleaning the bathroom or sorting out my admin (+ the rest).
And I found it! Jay Chou - Ju Hua Tai. Beautiful song. Yes, it's in Chinese, but no, that doesn't matter, in case you don't speak the language. To amplify this opinion (which I wanted to, so I did some searching, which meant a pile of ironing just had to wait, 'cause that's what setting priorities is all about, right?) Wikipedia has a good explanation about aesthetics. You don't always need to understand the lyrics to be able to feel touched by a song.
Quite useful, this Wiki-thing. You can learn something you want to know about with an instant click (in this case also learn that you thought you knew, but you were wrong (there goes my "knowledge", that Chrysanthemum originally came from Europe, out of the window).

update: apparently some visitors were not able to read this post with a tiny bit of humour, stating I have irresponsible opinions.
I've got no problem with these visitors. ;)
