Selection criteria for seeking directions......

Lately I'm reading a lot on selection criteria for prosecuting war crimes...today while walking on campus someone asked me for directions.....
I couldn't help him but I started thinking, how do we choose who we ask for directions????
My first thought was people who seem to be nice, open, approachable...same stuff when we look for someone to take a picture of us..in that case he/she must look also reliable, not for taking a good photo, simply not running away with your cam....
Someone though dissolved my illusion, suggesting something less ideal about these criteria..
Going back to the context of war crimes, someone made a reference to the Greek verb "κρίνω", where the word criteria comes from....
no matter what, whether they choose cause you are open or you are cute, at the very end the result is the same.....this κρίση makes you feel much better......

Keep the knowledge inside.......

8 years ago in NOLA, the night before an exam 3 girls studied wearing huts!
The RA knocked our door, got surprised by our outfit and asked why?
and M. responded:"to keep the knowledge inside........."

3 years ago in NYC, a beloved friend explained why I like working with a candle...the flame keeps you focused and calm...

This afternoon listening to music trying to focus and keep the knowledge inside I lightened some candles and wore a hood......smiling for experiences I only now appreciate...

Hydrate cream

This morning I went to buy a hydrate cream for my face.
A simple procedure I thought.
The beauty girl though had another opinion. She told me in the most arrogant way that the cream I use is not for my age!!!!!!!!!!!!!as she emphasized it is for women in their 20s!
I smiled, insisted on taking the "young cream" and walked out with the air of a 30 year old woman who feels 20!
It's a damn hydrate cream.....at the end

The C word

The last 2 days I have interesting conversations with friends on compromise and commitment!How far can or should you compromise in a relationship? where is the point of no return?
If you haven't compromised so far, does that mean that you have never been in love?
and what if you have commitment problems and you simply ignore them? what if you keep falling for emotionally unavailable people? is that a sign?
What if you are someone who gets easily bored, cannot picture himself/herself in the same place, doing the same job for ever?does that mean that you have a commitment problem regarding relationships as well?that you cannot be with the same person for ever?and if yes, when you ask yourself: what are you looking for, what do you want from a partner?If you are 30+1 like me and you cannot answer, should you be panicked?????
