Anything that is diagnosed outside of "perfectly healthy" is bad. There are no medical terms for a group of symptoms that society deems as good.

You are right about this. I mean, generally, sick people go to doctors & nurses. So there is a selection process that explains your observation. Tho, there is a growing awareness of your point in the medical community. Integrated medicine is an area that tends to focus more on wellness than other, more traditional, specialties.

You'll have to ask Vash for more info about this, tho. I'm only peripherally aware of what these folks are doing.

So, if a term were to exist that grouped together symptoms of positive traits, what word would you use?

That's a really good question. I don't know. I tried to come up with one, but they were all words like 'attitude, philosophy, position'. "Approach" was the best one I could think of. There is a mild implication of positivity, in the sense one is choosing to adopt a particular strategy, tho those words are really more neutral.

Perhaps an animal or plant breeder has a technical term for positive traits. I don't know what it is off the top of my head, tho, sorry. Might make a nice writer's exercise for you to research.

A trait is a trait. Whether it is positive or negative is determined by the individual, lol.

He's had more than one screen name. As for the similarities (based on the little we know of you), you are both bright, but with a nasty little mean streak. Of course, I will allow for the possibility we just don't know you all that well yet.

bohemiandonut has? I didn't know that.

I was wondering if he'd come back now that school is about done. He's at Berkeley, right?

Ugh, my bad. I'm thinking of that dope-smoking hippy from Northern California... what's his name? Oh yeah - carp.

Bohemiandonut was smart, and not at all annoying.

You people...

Nice with a capital N, you are...

Did I arrive too late?

Have they kissed and made up yet?
Did they do more than just that?

I love, love, loved BD. He is one of only two posters that have made me snort my tea reading his post.

No doubt he is too busy/outgrown LF. Good for him, I hope he's doing well.
