You are my Golf ball

I originally read it as "You are my goof ball" and figured you knew me. :)

Fill your glass with sand, and appreciate every grain of happiness it represents. Be grateful for every dawn you see, be happy about every smile your friends and family show you. A grain of sand may be small, but over time, sand piled upon sand and pressed together can form into great boulder, which in turn can be broken down by the elements and turned back into sand. We are insignificant, we are only a part of the greater universe. We are let to live, so we must be thankful for every step we take. Those who stretch their arms out in greed will come to grief. Those who are content with themselves are at peace. And just for the record, I prefer to have my coffee on my own, peacfully encapsulated in my own thoughts...
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

Why you can not be respectful?
You cannot punch someone on their nose through TCP/IP. So, some people take advantage of this and be disrespectful of others, troll, talk crap, and some behave like children. You can ignore them, be abusive of them in return, or whatever. But this is how the internet works, and you will need to get over it. However, I do think that your original post was more suitable to the GIT. I voted it a 1, and I wish didn't have to go through the trouble of reading it.

It's a cultural thing. While it's common for certain cultures to like posting so called "uplifting" moral tales, other cultures find them unpalatable, saccharine and nauseating. Posts like this may find more favour in the GIT because the posters there are a lot more tolerant to this type of post. If you post it here in the lounge, you open yourself up to the votes of those who really object to this type of post. I have compensated Mark against your univote because that was a childish and petulant act on your part.

I agree with the rest of your post, and also do not disagree with you balancing the univote, but can't understand why you considered Meysam's 1-voting Mark's post as the childish and petulant act that you mentioned. The OP didn't have a problem with being 1-voted (based on the reply to Mark's post) but didn't agree with the reply which they thought was disrespectful. In that context I thought a univote with the kind of explanation provided is actually the correct and mature way to respond.

I can not believe that my post is something that you describe it. I've never wanted to behave like children or anything that you named.
Meysam
1. I never 'described' your post. 2. I didn't suggest you were behaving like a child. So, tell me. You've a problem reading or understanding?

Professor entered to class with a big box in his hands and put it on his desk. He brought out a big glass and start filling that with Golf's balls. "Has this glass filled?", He asked the students. Then all of the students agreed that it filled. After that Professor brought out a container which contains pebbles and filled the empty spaces among Golf's balls with them. "Has this glass filled?", the Professor asked again. When all of students agreed, he start filling empty spaces in the glass between pebbles with some of sands. "Has this glass filled?", he asked again and filled the last empty spaces with couple cup of coffee. At this time the students laughed out loud. When they all calmed he said: "The Golf's balls are our important things in our life such as the God, our family, our friends and our wishes. The things that if they remain but other things go, the life will keep going on. The pebbles are other important things but not as important as the Golf's balls like our job, our house and our car. The sands are other less important things." He continued: "If we start filling the glass with sands, there are no space for pebbles and Golf's balls. This glass is similar to our life; If we spend most of the our times and energies on ordinary things, we have no time for important things. Spend your time with your family, play with your children and go out with your friends. Have fun with them, there is always time for fixing disrepair and cleaning the house. First care about the important things and specify them for yourself." An student raised his hand: "What was the point of the couple cup of coffees?", the student asked. The Professor smiled and said: "No difference that you are busy or not! There is always time for drink a cup of coffee with your friend." :)

Technically, the glass is always full. If you are going to post this sort of saccharine-sweet "advice" then prepare to don the asbestos suit of flameage. The Lounge typically doesn't react well to this sort of thing. Before you started posting, there was a spate of members posting this sort of stuff and they were pretty much all flamed.

Oh I'm sorry. I thought that being a mature adult would have been a better response. Tit for tat voting is for the childish.

I don't believe it's a cultural thing. Atleast, not if one goes by the sales numbers of all the "Chicken Soup" and other advice books. I make it a point to not touch any of the magazines laid out in barber shops and waiting rooms just so that I don't stumble upon the advice columns. But what really miffs me ( and it probably may not characterize the regulars here ) is that people who are obsessed so much over gossip find it difficult to digest jokes and tales that highlight morals. But then, I also think that these kind of tales and jokes are more appropriate for kids < 8 and not for a bunch of techies.

Always remember your target audience. I hardly doubt people reading code project are heavy consumers of Chicken Soup. Kid sisters or girl friends on the other hand would greatly appreciate such written words.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

mmm, I did mention it. But it also does not mean that none of the members who frequent this or any techie site will not read such books. In any case, it was just a general observation.

Yea, that is why I said "heavy consumers", which allows for there to be some general consumption of said products. :) I know, splitting hairs :)
