yep tis good to look on the bright side and count the blessings. a bit of appreciation goes a long way to realise how well off and lucky one is by comparisons to worse stuff out there. it might help just for whinger types.
but of course if a person was genuinely depressed it wouldnt matter where u send them , esp to worse conditions as they would still be depressed.
its kinda like cutting off someones leg with a rusty saw and saying sure some people have both legs cut off so dont be complaining about your pain. it not gonna stop their suffering by knowing someone elase is even worse off than themselves.
biological type depression cannot be overcome by the power of thought alone. some chemicles/ imbalancing/ and wireing is more powerfull. thats why the chemicles in the antidepressant type drug can help. positive thinking is no match or cure for it on its own.
know a woman who gives out to her partner because he give some of his time /attention to the dog. they have a close bond and the dog be around him. when the dog jump on his lap and he be petting the dog on the chair,...she be giving out stink.
u have more time for that damn dog than u have for me ,..she be sayin. lol. (it not true he plenty time for both a them.)
he be doin no wan any harm but he get roasted for his time with dog.
i say if she asked him to go somewhere and he said nah.. ..im gone for a walk with the dog instead, he be found strung up..lol
he would defo have to say he was doin something else.
i often turn down soc occasion and go for walk with dog.
i attend soc occasions if i dont happen to be taking my dog for a walk. lol . or other reasons.
thing is if on OCCASION... .if rather take dog for a walk , (with no offence to anyone) its best not to mention it perhaps because the person may not like it and go off on one.
they might even accuse ya of being weird or something. lol
there was three paddys going to face the guillotine to have their heads chopped off.
twas paddy the irishman, paddy the englishman, and paddy the scotsman.
the fella pulling the lever for the blade to fall and chop off their heads said....now lads sometimes the blade dont fall down all the way and it gets stuck. if that happens you are lucky and you get to go free.
the first one to put his head in the guillotine was paddy the irishman. the fella pulled the leaver and the blade fell half ways down and got stuck.
o, bejasus said paddy the irishman, i was lucky there....and f-cked off up the road.
paddythescotsman was next to put his head under the guillotine ,and the same story happened.
ock said paddythescotman ,..im a lucky wee man so i am...and he f-cked off.
paddy the englishman was next , and he stuck his head in under the guillotine...
the fella was just about to pull the leaver for the blade to fall,......and paddy the englishman turned around his head and looked up at the blade , and said....stop., I KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH THAT.
