Oh Why, Oh Well

[Guest guest]

They haven't a clue. Simply put.

I don't know how long you have been dealing with your condition, but if you are

dealing with it for as long as I have and WILL have to,

eventually, you'll see what I mean and ones life tends to mold itself

around those that are good people. Plus, our lives suddenly repel those that

want to bring us down. It is a great " survival instinct " that we have inside us!

I love it.

I guess, like Wayne and a few others who have dealt with this for so long, we

realize that in the end if we CHOOSE to try and explain all of us to others, we

would be hitting our heads on cement walls!

There are always going to be people who do not get it, unless they to really GET

IT, and then the realization of how we live will crash down upon them. A

terrible thought but sadly probably the only one that will work

We at least get better reactions when someone passes on, (because we have been

trained and conditioned to do so); not with people in pain. You see people in

pain are:

1. Play acting

2. Looking for Sympathy

3. Being devious and trying to collect disability; because we so want to collect

ALL THAT MONEY!!!

4. Psychologically imbalanced

5. Lazy

6. Any other excuse

We do ourselves a great disservice in trying to change the minds of those people

who harbor improper thoughts. All we are doing is adding STRESS to our already

delicate conditions. We, however are not delicate by any means. We are tough,

enduring, and full of strength. We sadly have no choice in this matter and we

do, over the years develop into remarkable people and we should all pat

ourselves on the back for being who we are!!!!

To those souls who do not get it, shame on you as you are missing out on some

great and wonderful people who are empathic and caring and so many out there in

the real world are not. Our hearts are big and our shoulders are broad as we

can carry ourselves and others who need our caring on our backs. If we have

people in our lives that do get it,we are richer by far. For those of us that

do not, we are not poorer but tough and strong.

We have learned not to waste time when we know there is no time to wait. We

have learned not to waste our breath explaining ourselves to those who have

space in the sympathy/empathy part in the brain.

It is sad that some of our family is dense, it is sad that some, if not all of

our friends are dense, but we are not dense. Life to too precious to waste.

Breath to valuable to waste. Hearing the important things in our lives is most

important, so why waste time listening to someone who is clueless, and

self-centered?

Our eyesight is valuable so why waste time seeing people who will not change? Is

not the smell of fresh air better than the smell of indifference?

Let us use our senses in good ways. Let's cultivate the best in us and around

us, rather than waste time, which is too valuable, hoping that people will

change. These few that do change, want to change and they do it because it is

right for them. We can not make people do anything, feel anything or change

anything as we are powerless over all except oursleves.

Let's spend time with these who understand and accept us. Let's spend time

improving ourselves. Let us be the best we can be, and all the others, well,

that's up to them.

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies within us

while we live.
