Category: the Rant Board
It seems that I have to fight for what I have.
Please, don't get me wrong, it's just that I'm tired of it!!
I know that strength builds a person up, but why can't something just come easily.
I've been fighting since I was born, and am sick to death of it.
For once, I'd like it to be my turn, and not have to scratch and claw for what I want in life.
People tend to respect scratching and clawing.
Yes, I agree, but it sometimes gets tiring.
Trust me, I'm not complaining, just have had a very rough few weeks, and am just venting.
this is life. nothing come as easy as we thought. i've fight for everything in my life too. yes, it is tired and lack of strength at times, but thats life. what you want, what you need, it is something that you must fight for it. you get it or not, thats really depends on lots of things. but the key is as a human been, it is all about fight for things that you want, and fight for the life that you want to live.
Considering that you do not live in a 3rd world country and you know that your next meal is guaranteed, I suggest that you stop a moment to think about those who really fight every single day, just to survive. I'm fighting a very intransigent medical profession, to ensure that my beautiful partner gets the treatment that she so badly needs. This infuriating process has made me think about those poor fecker dying of AIDS on the streets of the wonderful USA,because they cannot afford the medication which is their right from birth..
I agree Goblin, but, just because others are suffering worse doesn't really lessen one's own pain.
Ok but you dont hear those who really are suffering complaining, they bear it with a quiet resigned dignity.
Welcome to life, nothing good comes easily, sometimes you got to fight. If something good came easily you wouldn't appreciate it, an Olympic gold medal would be worthless to you if someone sent you one in the mail, it's the fact that you spent 12 years of training (say) and beat the best people from other countries to get that medal that makes it so valuable. We've all had to fight, be it disease or war or the little personal battles, sure we've all vented too but it's just life, keep fighting.
Your not getting sympithy on this site, go to a shrink to vent your problems.
Hm, that's interesting... I don't really feel I have to fight for a lot of things in my life. I suppose that could mean one of two things: Either I'm just very lucky (which, generally, I am). Or else, perhaps I just don't look at it as fighting but rather as doing what needs to be done. Perhaps looking at it this way leaves you less tired?
Well, was just having a bad day yesterday, and Jared, it is certain that I'd get a smart ass post from you.
So go to hel!!!
And no, I don't mind fighting for what I want and need, it makes me a better person in the end. Unlike those who appear to have it so easy all the time.
So, to those who took the time to read this, and actually posted something valid, thank you.
Goblin,
i'm sorry to hear of your partner, but I wasn't refering to medication or anything.
Oh, and, this is the rant board is it not?
Yes it is and it also used far too often by those desperately seeking attention. If you feel so undefvalued and useless go out and volunteer to help those who really are fighting every single day..your life is made awful not by the circumstances in which you find yourself, but by your attitude to it, so it's up to you to improve your life, instead of being a whinging victim..
I tend to think of life as more of a process than an outcome. We're all in the process of "becomming" what we can be. Point of this babbling with no morning coffee yet is that your initial statement about giving us strength was correct. when you think about it, its when we have to fight for things that we sometimes find out how strong we are, and how really capable we are of solving problems. I know what you mean--it sucks that we have to expend so much energy to survive.
Motifated, you are so right. Now, go get some coffee.
Bob
I certainly wasn't whining, just had a bad day, and don't begin to assume that I've had it better or worse then others.
You don't know me, and well...... I am not a victom.
It would seem that people, once in a while are not allowed to vent
but you are allowed to do something about your cry baby attitude and fyi I had an ordeal in my 20's which would make your hair curl, however I do NOT feel the need to cry into my beer about it.I chose to use the nightmare as a tool to improve my life, and I refuse to let it dictate how happy I can be.
Crystal Rainn shut the ffuck up. You have it better then you could ever know. the people who've truely been through hell in there lives don't wine and bitch about it on the internet like you, they confide in close friends or deal with it on there own. Do us all a favor and stop wasting hard drive space and bandwidth and don't post on the boards or send quicknotes anymore.
count your blessings, not your hardtime. appreciate what you have, not what you don't. appreciate who you are, not who you aren't. appreciate all the situations that you have gone thru, and take it as lessons if thats something bad.
Not one of you know a thing of what I've gone through, and goblin, I'm sorry to hear of your ordeal, but many people have gone through some kind of hardship. Season, as far as your concerned, I do count my blessings everyday.
Thank you
This is the last I will post on this subject.
And for that we are truly thankful.
Boy, remind me never to vent on this board. It's a cold cruel world, why do we make it colder and crueler?
I agree with wbobby.
Some are incredibly cruel, and can only think of themselves. Thereby, we must think of some third world tragedy, and so our pain is lessened, and we catch hell for posting the fact that a bad day was had.
What a joke!!!
It is interesting how we come here to The Zone from parts the world around... Bob you are right in asking, "Why do we make it colder and crueler." Thankfully not all are given to conduct themselves in ways uncaring and without passion and consideration for others and what they are going through.
Crystal Rain, in some ways you are right on target in this commenting of yours, for only a smoke screen has been put forth...a smoke screen of pointing to ones that oft we can not reach out and touch and be of any help to...while right here, at The Zone there is opportunity at times to be of some good, of some value to others.
As SEASON has mentioned....to count our blessings... to that I would like to add... even the blessings of the tough times for tough times produce qualities within if we give them opportunity... if no more than after having gone through them and coming out and then realizing we survived....and then perhaps can turn and help another somewhere along the line that is going through the pain that has been survived.
Crystal Rain, my encouragement to you...keep on a fighting... and in the words of wildebrew though paraphrased, Go for the Gold!
Connie
Well said Connie. Good luck CrystalRain, may your days improve.
thanks to connie, and season, and to most who posted.
My days have improved, and the reason for me writing this post, was that I was working on a particularly difficult paper regarding addiction.
A lot of it had to do with personal happenings, and I was just tired and fed up.
If one wants to know more, just ask privately.
CR, i'm not trying to hurt you or what. i simply meant that count your blessings even though you've gone thru the most hard time that you have probably. yes, i don't know and don't understand the situation that you've gone thru, either you understand on what i've gone thru. i do understand that, at times, you feel extremely down or low but as i said earlier, count your blessings not how much you suffer. yes, the third world people suffer more than us, there fore, count on what you have not what you don't. just appreciate more, and you will feel better. it is just an option for you, i'm not trying to booing you around.
Hmmm, sometimes we don't appriciate what or how much we do have until iether it's gone or till we have to fight so hard for it that it almost kills us, believe me, i've done that, and it makes me so happy i survived it. if you ever have a bad day spend time thinking about what you have, instead of what you're lacking...and when in doubt, don't forget breathing!
I know how that feels, fighting for all you have. But I'm sure there's be better times.
So although this is a rant board, we are not supposed to rant in it because it's more noble to think about how much worse other people have it instead of thinking of yourself? I suppose if you want to act like a noble saint that might work, but I think even though going on about your bad day is focusing on yourself, the point of ranting is to vent off steam so you don't have to go find a coffee shop and randomly shoot people with a machine gun out of frustration, and there's much more of a chance of your personal problems geting solved than those of third world countries. I hope all of your navel-gazing pays off and the world is made a better place merely by your worrying about everyone but yourselves. Ugh, earthlings confuse me!
