Please take this as it is intended
. this is a philosophical discussion only
. not to be taken seriously or acted upon
just a basis for discussion
.
.............................TRIGGER.....TRIGGER...TRIGGER........................................ Depression is feeling lost and hopeless but what if you just don't want to go on to trudge along day after day when living is exchanged for surviving when you live for the sake of a house payment when there is nothing you crave or seek when the days all blend into one long blur when the greatest most sought after event of your day is coffee and a muffin for breakfast when you are afraid and tortured by sleep when you have no fear of death . but you do fear the slow drip ..drip ..drip of a life slowly draining away . fear of no control of being unable to decide your destiny of being in a sick bed draining your families resources and joy from there very life everyone says it is so hard on those we leave . is it any less hard to see a loved one waste away from losing that zest that spark that makes life worth the living Our world is full of troubled souls seeking something else . by endless sexual conquests by drugs by the bottle . many are just wanting to fill there surviving life with something anything . having given up living long ago . I have never understood the principle of spending all our resources to keep such a one with us when all they desire is escape why not just let them go and find the peace they seek In the grand scope of all things are we not the only one responsible for our self is it not cruel and disrespectful to do other wise . is it not a condemnation on our culture when most seek to flee from it why is it so hard to just be content with being . being comfortable in your own skin seems a lost art ... Just the ponderings of an old tired Tigger . |

I'm not sure why but reading this brought about a feeling of contentment within me.
I hope it lasts, for a little while at least. |

I've often wondered too why us Americans value dollars and happiness over contentment. Can happiness be obtained if pursued? Maybe if we learn to value contentment there will be less sadness?

I think being comfortable in one's own skin is difficult when we live in a society that preaches that happiness can only be fulfilled by spending money on something. Anyway, here are some hugs for you (((((Tigger)))))
