How do you live your life?
Do you have a preset plan for your actions? Are you more laid-back, waiting for things to come to you?
Do morals play a part? Anything that your parents taught you that you keep to this day?
Forced or natural happiness? Do you give in to your emotions? Are you virtuous?
Yea, I was just wondering.

Every day I get up and make a choice, I make lots of bad choices. In this case the choice is : Am I going to get up, or go back to bed, let the day wait for me to be dang well ready for it.
The only solid plan is that by the end of the day I'll have tried to improve my life in some way, I'll have tried to act somewhat intelligent, and I'll have watched hentai or Anime(at my discretion). I'm not really laid back, more accurately I am lazy, but that will be worked on, sometime after I get dinner...
I do think about others, I really do, and I do my best to please others and behave in a "moral" fashion, but it's not something I think about conciously, It's more of something I do and then later reaalize I am doing.
My father and mother never made a habit of making life-teachings, it was more of an observe, and take notes kind of deal. One thing I do remember my father trying to teach me was that despite the fact that I am an individual, and am special and all that good stuff, I should still try to fit in society. I value Individuality far too much for what he wanted, but to a lesser extent I already did that.
I Don't know how to respond to the forced or natural happieness question. I don't think about my emotions too much, and when I give in to them I rarely think about it, or even realize it. I try to keep a good humor, and to keep things funny, I try to hard and at times I think I alienate people because of my humor.
Am I virtuous? I'm not qualified to answer that. I don't know, and I get this feeeling that if I tried to answer that my answer would be tempered by my desire to be virtuous. Although I do not actively act upon the desire to be virtuous, it is there, so I get bonus points... right?

Me, I just try to be nice, because people deserve it. Granted, I do get pissed every now and then, but that's when people deserve that kind of treatment.
I try to keep my philosophy close, understanding that since we're here, we should try to be happy, regardless of if we're real or not.
I've been finding myself giving fake smiles to people, partly for me, partly for them. Make their life experience happy. I might not talk alot, but I'm a great listener.
I'm not really virtuous, but I don't really care. I like to do some things in excess, and I'm happy that way.

I kind of live my life on the clock. My friends call me a time nazi because of it. I always have something to do somewhere to be except for when I make time to just be lazy which I do quite often.
Most people would consider me the laid back type of person because I tend to not get bothered by much and can easily adjust to any problems that would set me back. At the same time I do run my life by a clock and I would like everything to get done, but it doesn't matter what order.
Morals play an important part in my life. They help me handle some tough decisions concerning my family and friends. My parents taught me a lot about how I should never give in to situations and find a way through them and not run away from my problems. At the same time I need to listen to what my heart has to say.
My happiness is forced. I can control my emotions a little too well. So I am generally content because I like feeling that way.
As for being virtuous, I don't know. I try to be, but that doesn't mean I succeed very well.

How do you live your life? umm I live? lol
Do you have a preset plan for your actions? Are you more laid-back, waiting for things to come to you?
I'm both. I wait for a while, until I get sick of it and then take action.
Do morals play a part? Anything that your parents taught you that you keep to this day?
Sure. Do what is right, don't lazy and look out for others, not just yourself. For the parents, not really. More like what not to do.
Forced or natural happiness? Do you give in to your emotions? Are you virtuous?
Natural. Sometimes I give in.
Yea, I was just wondering.
Good, people need to think a bit more. It helps you understand what and why you do stuff like training with psi.

How do you live your life?
Not out to its total potential, heck I don’t think anyone does though..
Do you have a preset plan for your actions? Are you more laid-back, waiting for things to come to you?
I’m more of a laid-back kind of guy. I don’t really expect things just to come to me really quick, but I want them to. I’ll do the work if it is 100% necessary or if it’s something that I want to achieve, and if it’s not, I’ll wait it out.
Do morals play a part? Anything that your parents taught you that you keep to this day?
I guess morals play a part in your life. I honestly can’t remember anything that parents taught me because most of it’s just common sense.
Forced or natural happiness? Do you give in to your emotions? Are you virtuous?
I believe I have forced happiness… My mom won’t leave me alone until I smile, which is stupid because I hate my smile and I hate smiling period. Sometimes I do give into my emotions, sometimes I don’t. All about who it’s about, ya know? If it’s I person I despise and they cry out for help, I’ll blow them off thinking ‘What did you ever do for me?’ If it’s a friend and they’re sad or something, sure I’ll go over see what’s wrong. Don’t know if that’s necessarily giving in. Virtuous… I’m really not sure about that one…

If it’s I person I despise and they cry out for help, I’ll blow them off thinking ‘What did you ever do for me?’ I like to think myself better than those I despise, because of that I will try to help them, I help them because I know they will not do the same for me, and if I'm wrong about that, then I can deal with that, it simply means I have chosen someone worthy, worthy of my appriciation in the form of hatred. Those unworthy of my hatred get my pity instead. I cannot say this is a good quality, as I said I do it for my ego =/
