A Thanksgiving TSS Rant
Despite all I am going through in my life right now I know there are many many more worse off than myself.
My brother has a cyst on his back that may be cancerous and he has surgery next week, my uncle is in the hospital and is not well, there are kids sick and dying in the hospital, parents in distress, young folks spending sleepless nights on the streets here, soldiers fighting in Iraq/etc wondering if today will be the day they die.
The issues that affect me directly hurt me personally in ways I could have never imagined, but it would be selfish of me to simply get lost in my own pain while ignoring the pain of others.
So many this day live in fear. A day when most are having a good time with family and eating well there are those out there who want more than turkey and football. I still remember the first year in my house (which I have since lost) - mom was not able to be there as she was in the hospital (she died a little over a month later). I would have traded most anything to have her there with us and not laying in a hospital bed all hooked up to tubes.
Today we count the blessings of the things we DO have. And when I compare the hell my life is now to others I feel lucky. It could be a lot worse.
I have a lot to be upset about, but my little girl has her health and is not laying sick in some damned hospital. I have my friends on DU to rant to, my dad (fundie that he is...) is still alive and well, and I have many other things that are positive I can cling to.
You can't erase the negatives, but today I hope we can all take a few moments and give thanks for what positives we do have - however few they may be. And I hope those good thoughts plant a seed that can grow into a forest of joy over time.
I give thanks today that of all my kids out there I can wake up and see the smile of my little Hannah, and that I don't have to go see her at a hospital. Despite all my pain, the Lord has blessed me. I can deal with not working, having little or no money, the issues with my wife and her health/etc, sad as they make me I still feel blessed because in a few hours my little one will wake up and be glad to see daddy.
Through all the pain you have, try today to find something to be thankful for today. Even if it turns out to be a bad/sad day (as mine probably will be....) that does not mean that on this day you cannot find a few moments to be thankful for that which is good in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving. Could be worse, could be raining (A young Frankenstein Reference)

I thought he was leaving ?
He just can't help himself. He has to drain the pity pool any chance he gets.
He's so full of shit.

Well, if he's going to be depressed, then anyone who reads his work ought to be depressed, too.
Do you think he ever just says that it's a nice day without mentioning ten other things that are wrong with HIS life?
What a narcissistic fool TSS is. It's all about him. :banghead:

All one has to do is read his journal.
Pay attention to the dates.

Five hours and not a single comment. Maybe he'll take the hint...

He is a scam artist,his diatribes all follow the same pattern....Life sucks and is unfair,not my fault,no one needs to feel sorry for me,I can`t except any help,my poor wife is sick,my daughter doesn`t understand,not my fault,life will be good,don`t want any pity,I am too proud to accept any help from all you kind and loving....
He plays them like a fiddle and just another example that the DUmp is the home of the lowest form of crap humanity has offered up.

This just proves what we all know about libs: They just cannot stand anyone being happier or having more than them. They lead such a miserable existence they want everyone else to be as unhappy as they are. I think the prime precept of liberalism is not spreading the wealth so much as 'spreading the misery' around. Well, stealing our wealth and giving it to those who refuse to work is really the same thing. But they still have to try and make you feel guilty about every tiny shred of happiness you might have in your life.
I understand that there are people with much less than myself. But that doesnt mean I have to sit around and be miserable on their behalf to somehow show I am a compassionate and caring person. There are people with a lot more than me and that wont cause me to sit around being miserable either. I am grateful for what I have and I will enjoy my life every bit as much as I can!

Very spot on analysis.
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
Winston Churchill
