AlexDP Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 A delusional one....I don't know anyone who would be envious. I quite enjoy walking so the advantage of being myself over another belongs to me. I've never wished to be anyone else or jealous of another. Part of is since my misanthropy prevents it. I think so little of you and your lot I can't muster the emotion you wish I had. Believing in a state of happiness is a mental limit greater than any of his physical ones which I am gladly without either. A state of happiness cannot be delusional. It is an emotion. Emotions, by definition, are true.

Mme. Chaucer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I don't think the average moaner needs to look at this guy as "inspiration;" the whole situation could serve as a reality check for most of us who think we have problems. It never ceases to amaze me how certain posters come here month after month to post about how short / fat / ugly they are - willfully oblivious to the fact that dozens of those reading and responding to their very posts, trying to help them! are shorter / fatter / uglier (or otherwise more challenged) than they are. I sometimes see this negative obsession with self as exactly as exactly the same as egotistical conceit, only in reverse. 5
yongyong Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 By your logic, All Americans complaining about making $8 bucks an hour should kill themselves. Look at Africa. people are starving. Women are getting raped daily basis. they can't even get clean water for drinking. You can eat nice mcdonalds meal, watch tv, get unlimited supply of water, take a shower and you complain??? I am just trying to match your logic. (to play with 3 year olds, act like one of them)

Many who have had less than I have became more successful than I every have or will. The American making $8 could use that job to learn and then move forward to a better job. A McDonalds cashier can even move ahead to be a manager. No one says we need to settle with what we have by accepting what we have.
Drseussgrrl Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 You know what's great about this guy? He's AUTHENTIC. You can tell he's the sort of guy you can just sit and talk to without feeling like he's got some sort of agenda for getting you in bed. He's funny. He's sweet. He seems patient and kind. And no, this has got nothing to do with his physical shortcomings. This is always, by far, WAY more attractive than guys who try to use PUA or some other such bullcrap to make up for something they perceive as a "shortcoming" when it comes to women whether that be height, salary, or looks. I always see right through that stuff and it makes you come off as incredibly insecure. I had a date a few weeks ago with a guy who was an attorney. He was good-looking. He was on the short side - not that I cared at all. But boy you could tell it bothered HIM. His insecurities are what turned me off, not the fact that he was short. Men, you really need to just cut through the sh*t and get real. Genuinely like yourself. 1

I am just trying to match your logic. (to play with 3 year olds, act like one of them) Is this directed at me? I'm not complaining. Well, maybe I'm complaining about complaining. Actually, my life has become greatly enhanced since I've made it a practice to cultivate (cliche alert) an "attitude of gratitude" every day. Even when I really, really don't feel it I force myself to acknowledge the many reasons I have to be grateful and the many gifts that have been showered upon my usually undeserving head - often with no effort on my own part having been made. For example, being born a girl in America into a family with resources. It's a challenge sometimes. We really do live in a culture that promotes a sense of entitlement. When we are bombarded every waking moment with images of all the things we "should" have, or "should" be, it's fairly easy to become bitter about our perceived deficits. It's also a challenge if a person has issues like depression, as I do. But for me it's a necessity and I have little patience or sympathy for those who won't even try. I used to be that way myself. Sympathy did not help. Stories like this one help to bring it home. 3
BetheButterfly Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 You truly don't see a person as "special" who is able to make a great life for themselves even when starting off at a tremendous deficit compared with most of the rest of us? He's an amazing man wow!!! :love: He is a survivor and overcomer - a victor of challenges most of us can't even imagine enduring. I'm so happy that he found love with a wonderful, gorgeous lady!!! :love: I like this video: I didn't know he was a preacher? 1
Mme. Chaucer Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I just want to add: I do not think that envisioning "starving children in Africa" or guys with no limbs will make us feel good when we are despairing. My belief is that acknowledging the things that we DO have and which are worthy of gratitude is a good practice for everyone - even when we absolutely do NOT feel the gratitude. It's kind of like mental training - fake it 'til you make it, etc. Often some of it sinks in. 2
mickleb Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Haters have low self-esteem. It's no surprise that they get defensive when they see someone with much better reason to be depressed than themselves, happy. It makes them feel even more of a failure. Happiness is a choice but it's impossible to see that until you start choosing it. 5
