I think there's some truth in life's battle scars being character-building drinking

People often become more insightful, understanding and caring when they have faced, and quite often overcome, difficulties in life.

I agree. And the reason is because those that suffer have depth and come to have a why in their lives, those that endure have a higher ideal than just happiness, and a man with a why can withstand any how.

They are less apt to desensitize themselves.

The harder your life is the more sensitive you are? I couldn't disagree more. If you know pain then you are less likely to be shocked by pain in the world.

If you've never known pain then you're going to be pronouncedly more sensitive to pain and harm. The boxer can take a punch because of the punches he's taken before - he's less sensitive because of the pain of the past. The veteran soldier is braver because he's endured so many battles before - he's less sensitive because of past hardship.

No, if your life is soft then you will be softer. If your life is hard then you will be harder. Hardship does not breed sensitivity. Are people in the third world more sensitive than White people in our suburbs? No. Is the working man more sensitive than the middle class academic? No. Why? Because the working man and third-worlders have harder lives.

You seem to be the authority on everything aren't you Rumples?


You remind me of a ex sister-in-law of mine who was the authority of everything.Raising children even though she didn't have any of her own.
She was an expert on marriage even though she had been married several times and divorced.Knew more then anyone else on how to run a business even though she never ran one of her own.Oh ya,she didn't even know what to do about some stupid yogurt cause it spelled bad.

Well how come know- it -all's can't do it all?


I don't like you anymore then you like me so leave me alone and I'll do the very same to you too.

Or the best example: why are children more sensitive than adults if it is a hard life which breeds sensitivity? No one could claim that a typical child's life is harder than the typical adults.

I mean I know why people in our culture would wish to equate sensitivity with strength - because we're a culture with an exaggerated sense of sensitivity, but a culture that is too vain to admit that it is weak. The rest of the world that has battled for its existence has no such exaggerated sense because if they did, they'd all commit suicide. The typical American couldn't last a week in the shoes of an Indonesian peasant precisely because the American is sensitive.

That's being just a tad bit judgmental don't you think? Are you telling me YOU would be able too? Not only that, not all American's was born with a silver spoon in their mouth...I grew up poor, very poor and I know what it is too work for what you have, very hard...
