Still your fault? This is simply random chaos. You could get hit by lightning, mugged by gunpoint, and get a bad virus.. all in the same week. You just cant label everything that life lays down, as a "Choice", or Your Fault. Is it your fault if you have a bad deformity.. and have a hard time getting people to actually Hire you? (I dont, but its valid example) --- End quote --- You're beloved martial arts teaches self discipline and the importance of taking responsibility for your actions, yet you publish justifications and equate your life to a roll of the dice. Which is it? I would say "Man the ---fudgesicle--- up" but that is so gender biased and a bit over rude, so let's go with, "Have some intestinal fortitude and quit making excuses". There are a lot of people who have succeeded despite very real disabilities, suffering horrible physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, have parents or parent analogs that are total basket cases. They just got a lucky roll of the dice? ---fudgesicle--- that, they were disciplined. Don't take that away from them with your self serving malarky, don't you dare. Because when you play the fate card against yourself you're playing it against everyone and belittling their accomplishments to make you feel better about your lack thereof. Enjoy your wallow in self pity tho, seems to really be taking you places in life. |

I like how everyone says stuff. :applaud: This is fun. Also, by show of hands, how many of us would be SCREWED if they lost their job tomorrow? If their house burned down? If their wife left them/died? Honestly. really think about it. I wouldn't say I live paycheck to paycheck, (I live quite comfortably) but I also have 3 kids to feed who depend on me... a house and cars to pay for. I currently have no savings. Zero. (just recently spent EVERYTHING I have to put a down payment on a house) If I lost my job and wasn't able to secure another relatively soon, I'd be screwed and living in my car as well. (which would also be repo'd in short order). If my house burned down, luckily I have insurance to cover it...something some people aren't fortunate enough to have. But what if they didn't pay up. how long would it take them to pay it out. Screwed. If my wife up and left me or heaven forbid, died... I would have absolutely no idea what to do next. Hell, I'm not 100% sure what company we buy our natural gas and power from now. I'd have to find someone to take care of my kids while i work. an extra expense that right now, would cripple me. I believe we can control a great deal of our fate, but there is still the "chaos" or "random chance" or "roll of the dice" as it was put, to it as well. a vast majority of the time it is easy enough to deal with. But those who live "teetering on the edge"... one tiny thing can throw a wrench in the works. a combination of failing health, increasing debt, and troubles with the old lady/man in your life... something small and normally inconsequential is a huge deal throwing the delicate balance that is Xiaou's life, off the pole and onto the floor. there is no need to place blame here or there, just get up and get back in the running. the longer you delay, the harder it will be to get back. Just sayin' </soapbox> |

The only reason I stay here is because they'll put up with anything I do (such as browsing BYOAC throughout the day) because they know I'm putting up with a lot from them. I have enough in savings to get by for 3 or 4 months before tapping into retirement. --- Quote from: lilshawn on June 18, 2015, 02:39:49 pm ---If their house burned down? --- End quote --- Being that I'm in the middle of renovating a house was shoddily constructed to begin with and hasn't been maintained for decades...... >:D Waiting for it to be rebuilt would suck, but I'd have a much better structure. There would be a short period of mourning the loss of all the work I've already put into it. --- Quote from: lilshawn on June 18, 2015, 02:39:49 pm --- If their wife left them/died? --- End quote --- Already happened. The first option. I hoped for the second option, but it didn't happen. Damn I miss my old house. |
