So this is how it's going to go down: It's going to happen real fast, it's going to hurt, and you're going to thank me for it.
If something bad happens to you I don't want to be looking you in the eyes while you're telling me about it and see that you're looking for sympathy. You may deserve some but the fact that you're seeking it out is weak. It means you don't accept any responsibility. It means that you think you couldn't do anything to change it from happening to you. It means that you believe life happens TO you. What I'm saying to you, is a truth. You, make life what it is, as long as you have the ability to choose. If you're conscious and not in a vegetative state, you can choose. Your ability to choose is dependent on your ability to see what's coming. There is always an option, and life is never actually hopeless.
You drive a car that has a headlight out for weeks, putting off getting it fixed. One night you decide to go drink some brews with your friends. Your headlight is still out. Do I need to spell it out?
If you're vulnerable long enough someone or something will happen to you that you'll regret. Bet on it. By putting yourself in a situation of vulnerability, you give up control over what happens.
Deep breath. Hold it. Exhale slowly.
That was brought on because someone attempted to make me feel sorry for them, by telling me how they put themselves into "dire straits."
I'm sick of listening to this stuff patiently and respectfully. Primarily because I've milked that cow 'til she spit powder, and if I wouldn't listen to me bitch about it, it must not be that big of a deal. Don't tell me what happened to you, tell me what you're gonna do about it. That's what I want to hear. That's the good shit.
This does not mean that I don't care about people. What it does mean is that you can't go through life with your head up your ass, complaining that you can't see anything and it's all shitty here.
Don't think I'm insensitive. Don't think I'm immune to sympathy. And don't think that this is a personal message to be taken personally. I intend the absolute opposite effect.
We really do control our lives. Don't let a bad day convince you otherwise.
PS One single comment or message about "What about natural disasters and diseases..." and I won't even read the rest of it because you didn't listen.
