I have a friend whom whenever i ask 'how are you' he's got just one word, "Awesome". It got me curious. I mean I wondered if his 'awesome' meant our 'fine' or is he really 'awesome' or (touch wood) if so, how could anyone in this world ever feel awesome 365*24*7?
So I asked him more about his life. Yeah he was living a good life. Good job, good colleagues at work, quality life, games and sports, time for himself...all good and i wondered still, a lot of people do lead a good life but nobody else i knew ever sounded so positive about himself.
I told him of my curiosity and he said that I think too much, "its just an english word that MS word supports". But when I explained these deeper thoughts, that most of us have the same ups and downs in life yet we have different outlooks, he agreed and said he'd never really thought about it, about himself as always responding so positively to a common greeting question.
Then he gave it a thought and said, "Maybe because i take things too lightly". I asked is that the only reason and he said yes. He rarely lost his cool.
Hmm, weather it is just because of keeping cool and taking things lightly or just that he chose to use the word awesome, fact remains that he is a very positive person, speaking so positively unlike anyone else i know.
I dont think one could possibly use a word to describe his own state of mind without acually feeling that way. But still dont know why more people don't feel as awesome about themselves. Most of us take life too seriously I suppose.
