That's how it feels when you stand helplessly by watching a loved one suffer and die...
It makes you hate uncomprehending healthy people for no sensible reason but maybe envy or a sense of injustice...

The above is when you want to take advise from Job's wife:just curse God and die.

and being poor...

so many people dont understand what its like really
to be really poor

i have had ALOT of money

i have been homeless

it makes me sad but i cant honestly say i regret any of it


Yes, I have. Several times. And I am now, again. But that's only poor financially. In many other ways I am so blessed and so rich, and they count more in the long run.

I grew up in a home where there was no money for anything. The day I finish high school my family's income was $24.01 a week supporting three of us. I knew how to live on nothing.

I've been poor and I've been rich.... Trust me I like rich better.

wonderworker: I have been short of money but never destitute or hungry...
A time or two I was bankrupt in spirit.
That is unbearable and there is no Bailout.
You have to fix it yourself.


i could not fix it myself

how could i repair damage caused in great part by the tools i had

i need help and i needed new tools

the day i stopped expecting to be able to fix myself my life started to shift

pikengren: do you mean like sometimes not eating for three and four days in a row, and seeing people go into a restaraunt, and having a completely irrational hatred for these people, just because you know that they are going to sit down, order food, and then eat?
knowing it is completely irrational, but feeling that way just the same?
and the people that drive by happy

i cant even...

Tater: It simply makes us who we are, most people born with a silver spoon in their mouth, grow up niave of how the world works... It has never really bother me being poor, I've never been homeless, I look at it like this....

The more you have , the more you want and you become less "grounded" sort of speak, with wealth comes greed, GOD doesn't want us to be worldly people, that is why 99% of the rich will not make it there, because they had learned to covet worldy things over his laws....When everything is going great in your life and you can have anything you want, you start to feel you don't need GOD....

there will alway be someone richer, poorer stronger, weaker, etc etc... then you..

Accept the things you cannot change and try and change the things you can....To make your life what you want it to be...

I know it seems, life isn't fair sometimes, but thats because it was not meant to be.... most good people will lose at life, but the reward will be everlasting.. JMO
kiss

Had I never enede up alone at 16,then I woyuld never have tried so hard and enjoyed night high school and college as much as I did. I probably would have become an adult with the beliefs I was brought up with,predujice againist minorities and certain ethniticitys.SP? I don't think I would give as much as I have to others in need as life got better. Doubt I would really care about the down trodden,mentally ill,and other groups of people that those who know nothing of,say they dilike but really fear.If I would have been raised as I was from birth to 12yrs. till 18 I think I would have carried alot of ignorant views through life. I know I would not have been as good a mother as I was,if I had been raised in the snob white anglo saxon home till I was 18. So no regrets for me. Some of the street smarts I picked up,taught me and helped me in life more then some of the book knowledge I aqquired. Can't spell ethiniticities??,so proved my point.

mindfful: and the people that drive by happy

i cant even...


I remember once being cold and hungry and picking up some blankets from a lady who had helped my grandparents........... my grandparents had died and this lady gave me their blankets in a black plastic bag.

I walked back to the cold room I was renting and as I walked along the pavement a car went past and hit a puddle and soaked me.

There was a cute little dog in the back of the car and I felt sad that that cute little dog had a far better life than a human being........ and it seemed to be laughing at me as I walked slowly in the rain carrying that bag of blankets feeling so physically cold and so alone in the world.

I wanted to cry, but I didn't even have the energy to do that.
