Buying a house?

The stresses of buying and selling houses can be diverse depending on what sort of personality you have. One minute you are up in the air, the next you are back to square one wondering about the stupidity of the market and people at large. Why should you reduce markedly the price of your most prized asset to fund the work that your potential buyer wants to make to your house, and yet if you hold out for the best price on offer, it takes months and months and then you get the agents on your back wanting to reduce the price of the house to make it sell. Ah it's a zany old world at times isn't it?.......I have been to Saturn and back in the emotions I have experienced in buying and selling a house. I have viewed so many properties and fallen in love with many of them and yet my own house seems to have forgotten the plot that it needs to be sold as well. I have used many techniques to try and rectify the situation including prayer but that just clouds the whole scene. My wife seems to have much more common sense in dealing with this powderkeg of a situation and looks at one challenge at a time and deals with it accordingly. I often admire my wife for staying so calm in a crisis( well to me it is a crisis, to her just an incident to correct) but then Asian women have always trained their minds to be much calmer in such situations. It reflects on the male mentality to want to get things down and out of the way but life, as we all know, was never meant to be like that so we continue to be frustrated and thwarted by it all. The meaning of life ? who knows but for me I am getting more senile by the day finding my way through the pitfalls that life has to offer me. Roll on regardless.......!
