but the black dot doesn’t necessarily translate to something negative… noticing the black dot, imho, means you have a target. you have a focus.

you cannot focus on the white paper — technically, essentially, and whatever-ly) without noticing the black dot (lalo na at nasa gitna siya ng papel).

a bit defensive ako kasi if i were in that situation, i’d say ‘black dot’ din. hehehe.

(o yan, pinost ko na. hehehe.)

I totally agree with you, eks ,when you said that “you cannot focus on the white paper without noticing the black dot.” Truli-ly! But focusing on the white paper does not mean one has to IGNORE the black dot. As I have said, we also have to prevent the black dot from getting larger or even multiplying. I said that yes, we have to face our problems, but we have the choice to face it with smiling faces or with crying (if not growling) faces…

It’s just that some people tend to focus only on the black dot, as if there’s no white paper. I think it’s time we focus on the positive things in our lives…

:) OKAY? thanks for posting! he! he!

Pa OT (off-topic) lang ha…Hurt lang ako na di mo nakilala boses ko…akala ko nung sinabi ni Mado na sexy…gets mo na agad…he! he! PEACE!

I think it’s a matter of balancing your perspective. We need to acknowledge our negative challenges and DO something about it, and be grateful for the positive things. Mali yung mag-focus lang tayo sa positive at ignore na yung negative, or vice versa. Of course, dapat laging may positive attitude when solving the negative.
Did I make sense? Parang hindi yata masyado.

Yes, you do make sense…and I agree with you.

I think that most readers are getting me wrong: Let me emphasize that I did not mean to say that focusing on the white paper equals ignoring the black dot…because you have to face the black dot, you have to eliminate it or prevent it from getting bigger.

What I meant was we tend to focus only on the negative aspects of our lives, maliit man o malaki, when we have a very big white paper! Yes, we have to face our problems, but at the end of the day, we have to realize that the white paper is much, much bigger than the black dot…and that’s what we should be thankful for…

BOW!!!

you all have a point. i think kg is just trying to remind us all that a black dot is not all there is. there’s a white paper that also needs attention. in life, we should have a balanced perspective regarding trials or problems. we should not feel defeated or lose hope when negative things come our way because there are still good things, better things, in life that will keep us strong and hopeful.
tama ba kg?
anyway, this is a good entry. very inspiring. keep it up!

Correct ka2x!
