Hardships (58)
ChesneyChristManchester, Greater Manchester, England UK7,144 PostsWhat I do believe is that a life of ease will invent its own problems like Eve and that bloody snake. A developed society will make or imagine itself a victim in an attempt to prove grit. There’s a high maintenance that feels like hard work but is it really true?

Friskyone: Oh wow! That is so sweet of you, thank you and the feeling is mutual.
There is no reason for me not to accept you for who are. We should all be accepting of other's. Accepting someone for who they are means just that, to accept one another and accept the fact that no one is perfect but we can still get along, can't we?

“If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.”
Socrates
What we need to move away from is the completely useless consolation that I must be better than you because my grief is greater than your grief.

no it does not. whatever you are, "hardship" (or success) will show - some some people can handle things and will come stronger, but most of humanity can not and do failIf so, under what conditions and at one point, is it too much hardship?

Hardship has made me determined to survive. After my divorce I had a four year old child to raise by myself. I knew I had to be successful in showing her that good grades in school was important, that being kind to people was important, that having manners to say thank you and please was important.If so, under what conditions and at one point, is it too much hardship?

My own background as a child could have curtailed showing her the right way.
Today she is stronger than I am.

Having faith and truly believe in faith, also gives you the strength to keep trying because faith is something that serves you with the ability to see things through whatever your situation is.Yours was a great answer. I totally agree.

Well that just proves you did your job well in raising her successfully. She is proof off that. When I come across people like herself, I always think to myself that they we raised well.My own background as a child could have curtailed showing her the right way.

And there are people who had difficult and/challenging/abusive child hood years. All odds against them. They grew up despite their hardships and made lemonade with the lemons they were given and went on to be the opposite of how they were raised and broke the chains that once bound them. I love hear those kind of happy ending stories.

It's of my opinion that hardships tend to make one stronger or sometimes weaker it all depends on some circumstances.

Friskyone: Hey lady I was typing/posting/responding to you and was on a good role. I practically responded with a novel. I even ran out of character space, lol, so then I had to go back and edit it to allow me the space for my last ending sentence somehow, I deleted the whole "novel" and of course it is not retrievable. It was good too. If you dont't mind me getting back to you soon. I just didn't want you to think I ignored your post, I'm so sorry and I promise not to forget to get back to you. You made many valid points and I was hitting on everything you posted and I put a lot of thought into my responses to you. Now my brain is friend and I want to re-write and start fresh. I am now only capable of short response threads but I will be back to you tomorrow or maybe later tonight. Again, my apologies.
Enjoy your evening Frisky,no bother.

No offense, but I'm not sure that being mature makes a strong person.
But maturity is a great quality to have.

Some people need real help...A lot of homeless men walk the streets and have many have lost everything in the divorce courts...so finding positivity must be so hard for these men...every day must be a struggle...yet no one seems to talk about it and no one seems to care...it is too much for some men and they take their own lives...help is needed...funding is needed...discussion is needed and positivity is needed for these men to rise up from a miserable existence and find a purposeIf so, under what conditions and at one point, is it too much hardship?
