Now I know people have real problems. I sympathize with many of these people. I have had some screwed up shit happen to me in my life. I know some people who have had some really screwed up shit happen to them. The people who I know and respect did not let that ruin there life. They embrace it and move on to become better people. I commend these people.
The people I am referring to are the people who think there problems are a million times worse than everyone else. They sit around and feel sorry for themselves because "their life is so miserable." Really? Is your life really that bad? Some of these people are in therapy and numb to the world on medications and still they are miserable. Maybe I have been blessed in life with skills to let me see the good in life and be happy I'm still here.
These people also have a slight case of "my life is worse than your life syndrome." They constantly have to out do you in every bad situation. You could be having a bad day and tell them about it and you would never out do them. You could be like "my cat died today, he was old, but I am still sad." Their response would be "my cat was murdered by a serial killer and the body was sent to my doorstep and it really has been hard on me." The thunder will be stolen at all cost.
This might be a silly rant, but it just frustrates me that so many people can not see the good in life. What I try to do is look at it like this. Shit happens, but shit doesn't only happen to you. You might have had a bad day, but there are people who have really had bad days. Look at all this tragedy in Haiti right now. Do you think you can imagine what they and their families are going through. Think about that the next time you are having a bad day. You will realize how minuscule your problems are to other problems in the world. Someone always has it worse.
i read a quote the other day and don't remember it exactly but essentially it said that if everyone threw their problems in a pile for everyone to see that one would most likely grab their own back
ReplyDeleteit makes a lot of sense
Oooo. i like tess' quote. Well, I have the upper hand considering i know the people you speak of. I think those people should blog. Cause crazy and sad shit DOES happen to people, and that's precisely what blogging is for i think. But what's funny is that the people you speak of would never blog because they are just "too good" for it, or they just dont have a fucking clue how to because theyre idiots. oops. my bad.
