Has the system finally cracked? Have the wealthy and powerful simply taken so much leaving the rest of us grasping at our very survival, easily manipulated into turning against other groups and even each other in an attempt to make sense of it all? Is society destined to destroy itself or descend into eternal servitude to our masters? How do we get out of this spiral of madness?
And there we have it. The predicted list of excuses.
Can you not see how making excuses is no way to live the one life you’ll ever get?! Can you imagine a counselor saying, yeah, that’s normal, you should probably give up and die, soonest best?!
I’ve had a lot going both for me and against me in this life. But I never fucking said “can’t”. I’ve lost much, won much, but I’ve never rolled up in a ball and cried that I was helpless. Your attitude is so self-defeating it makes me sad. You need counseling and don’t seem to know it.
I do what I can, I have my ups and downs too. You did better, good for you… maybe if we swapped you could fix my life, or maybe it’s just an anecdote and there is no way to tell.
Yeah, I know I need a lot of things (including healthcare and therapy) but healthcare is a mess here especially rural and if I could use any programs now (especially with waiting lists etc) I expect said access will be cut before needed follow-ups are done.
You can pin the blame on mentality all you like, but it doesn’t make the country any less of multiple unmitigated disasters.
What a mess, I’m sorry. Can I just say that guy doesn’t speak for me? Let me know if you’re not sick of the conversation.
Go for it if you want, especially if it’s (mostly) in-reply to my higher-level comment.
In hindsight I guess I should’ve depersonalized my comment more or just abstracted it completely (yeah that is the dream or something).
