Like the way it's meant to be....
Sometimes I wonder if some people can see how they appear to others. If they realise how silly they look to others. If they realise their actions contradict their oppinions, through technicalities and clauses.
Some people need to get over their own insecurities or else said insecurities will cause them to lose what they were insecure over in the first place.
Some people need to get a grip on their own life and not worry about some other people.

I'm sure those thing apply to pretty much everybody at some point or another.
...but is your life still brilliant?
I think Ben is right - we all let this happen to us to at least a certain degree at times - but perhaps the important thing is recognising it and trying to limit both further occurances and any resulting damage?
Yeh, but no. lol. It's abstract.
As for the title... Also abstract.
Just reading the quote under your blog heading, it occurs to me that the word "farther" is probably underused. I was confused as to the difference between farther and further so I looked it up:
farther, further: the first refers literally to physical distances; the second is figurative.
She threw the discus farther than I.
My sneakers, I fear, are of no further use.
That somewhat oversimplifies it though I think, for instance:
"the application of the law was extended farther" is apparantly correct, even though it isn't a physical distance being talked about. Tricky word.
The law is extended farther because you are still effectively increasing a length/distance; the "reach" of the law. Extended comes from extent, which implies a length.
Further is for times or amounts rather than lengths or distances.
Yeah it's not refering "literally to physical distances" though, it's a metaphorical distance. That definition is a bit flawed I think.
Yeah, I don't think it really matters whether or not the distance in question is literal. I've always just followed the guideline of farther for lengths or distances, further for times or amounts, and remember it because farther applies to how far something is.
lol, I like that. Must remember that one.
