What about those left behind ?

Robert, I don't believe that anything we experience is ever in vain. What you went through was painful, but like you said, the payback for you was a greater appreciation for life and the beauty around you. Your failure in this regard appears to have been your greatest victory, which I get the feeling that you celebrate every day.
Cheers to you and your life.

Robert, That sounds like an aweful thing to experience, and no, it's not like I don't empathize with the situation which people find themselves in, it is mainly about the effects it has on those who are left behind. At that stage, you probably didn't give a fig about that, but I'm sure right now looking back, you might see that your kids would have been affected by it and they would have cared.
I am glad that you survived it

Virgo, sorry you lost me on the chickens

Yazz, I used to be totally unsympathetic towards anyone who chose that option. But after encountering it to a number of people close to me, I have been forced to acknowledge that some people make that decisions for reasons thaat i cannot comprehend.
I have learnt to be more tolerant of that, but I still cannot accept that it is completely their decision. We are all responsible for our own lives, yes, but surely we are also responsible in part for the happiness of those close to us, especially when our actions WILL have a direct impact on the rest of their lives.

Parti, I too have encountered way too many of these. I found one of the cruelist to be a man who left his wife to cope with two children, one just over two yrs old who adored her father, and the other a severely mentally and physically challeged young child.
None of them ever recovered from the loss. His siblings and his parents never did either.

When it the end is chosen over sever suffering and pain as a result of terminal illness and the person is being kept alive solely because of medication and machines, then one might be more accpting of those options.

virgo, it is true, maybe if people remembered that there are people who do care about them, maybe they wouldn't take such drastic steps

African, I do understand the quandry that you were in, but I believe it should be seen from two angles . ..

Firstly, by speaking about the problem to trusted family and friends, the person is able to establish a support group, which will be there for them when times get tougher, or when they feel they cannot cope. this can sometimes relieve some of the pressure.

Secondly, being in the know about problems, helps those around to get used to the idea if things get worse, allows them time to work through issues, even to resolve old issues, and maybe even collectively come up with possible alternatives to looking at the problem.

It is true that everyone has his/her cross to bear, but why due some give up on that burden leaving others to bear it?

RE: more about me

I have to admit that the book sounds like it might be worth reading.
I find it hearing about the life experiences of others always reminds me that I must appreciate what i have.
I'm just glad that you are an overcomer and that you haven't allowed your experiences to have a permenant negative effect on your life.

Sweety, true wisdom indeed. At the end of the day pretty is as pretty does, and while good looks would be a nice bonus, it certainly shouldn't be a primary pre-requisite. I have encountered people we do not qualify as the most physically beautiful people but the magnetism which projected from them, was so intense that they attracted people to them with no effort.

Virgo, so if you found someone, perfect in every way except one, lets say she is trying to quit smoking, but having difficulties doing it, what then, would you be willing to concede on that in order to give the relationship a chance?

My profile states looking for penpals/friends/etc so can't just ignore. What really makes my nickers pinch is the "i want to chat" and then that's it . . . they expect something to happen from that.
