Two things that make me cray-cray:

1) people who confuse kindness and mercy with weakness;

2) people who confuse values and beliefs with strongly-held (and usually very tenuous) personal convictions about nearly everything under the Sun.

Someone close to me once said the secret to happiness is to lower your expectations, or to limit the number of things you feel really strongly about.

I don't completely subscribe to this point of view. To me happiness has more to do with severely limiting the number of things I consider myself an expert on, and even then trying really damn hard to pretend I don't know anything about those subjects all day long.

@briankrebs Something I’ve learned over the years is that people will always work backwards from what they want. For some, it’s wanting the truth. For others, it’s being perceived as being right.

@briankrebs you have a point.

One thing that frustrates the heck out of me is people who confuse opinion with fact, and are utterly convinced that no opinion but theirs is valid (and therefore that if you disagree with them you are automatically wrong).

@briankrebs so, what you're saying, essentially, is that ignorance is bliss… Cypher had it right all along :p

@briankrebs 1‘) People who confuse relentlessness and mercylessness with strength.

@Retreival9096 Precisely. When we lose our sense of wonder and amazement about stuff is when we get old and start yelling at kids to get off our lawn.
