Value of Strength: Mental, Emotional

Value of Strength: Mental, Emotional

Being mentally tough can have a lot said for it.

The Problem:

Being a snowflake, isn’t good. They say they don’t stand a snowflakes chance in hell. That is how the saying goes. Have to wonder about myself. What kind of shape am I in? My thoughts, are you have to be pretty tough to endure a lot of isolation.

Read an interesting article today. It is on Medium, so if you're not a subscriber, you likely won’t be able to read it; but, here it is.

Thoughts:

This got me thinking. About some of the problems, and things that I’ve been through. I’ve had some setbacks in life. Lord knows. Really being able to spring back from setbacks is an important part of life. Not only do you have to be really tough, but you also have to be able to spring back from the major setbacks that life throws at you. If you harbor on them, it takes a lot longer to get back into the swing of things.

Truth

They don’t want mentally strong people. They don’t want emotionally strong people. Some people, will do everything they can, to keep you weak. They will do everything they can, to keep you down and out.

What Matters?

What matters is that you're a reasonable person. They don’t like it when you're not reasonable. The truth is, to argue with them; is pointless. They are not bright enough of cookies to understand the argument. Don’t bother.

Seems, people will walk all over you, in the shoes you bought them. They don’t give a shit about anyone these days. It does feel like, love and kindness have become luxury goods in life. Why? No one has touched me a in a long time. I’ve had one hug, in two years. Feeling like, damn it. They shouldn’t do that kind of stuff to people. It makes you hard inside.

You have to kind of wonder, if they aren’t doing it deliberately. Are they? What good results come from what they are doing to me? Doesn’t seem like they want to make me a better person. If anything, they have been tearing me down, a long time. And, it seems; they have gotten away with it. sick.

Grim Humor

The isolation, has taken a toll on me. It does not feel like it is getting better. Not by a long shot. The way people are treating me, doesn’t feel good. What can a man do about this stuff? Seems, the only thing that can be done, is to grit thy teeth, and endure it. Not many teeth left, thus; it is a problem.

Bored, lonely, isolated. No one seems to care. Love and kindness, have become luxury goods in life. I’m not able to afford love and kindness. They don’t offer those to me, not for free. Who can afford to live in this world?

Sometimes, you want to make life better. I know, that I do. Seems the universe needs to let us in on the joke being played, and deliever the punch line to the joke. I have a saying, a good joke, you laugh twice as long, as the joke was told. Some people have some good one liners. But the universe has been joking with us all, a long time. See the humor?

Having a sense of humor, can be a life saver. Sometimes, when people take things all too seriously, then they forget how to be real. And sometimes, people make us feel like we have to fit into some damn box, they want to make us feel like we belong in. That joke, isn’t funny. Seems they want to put you into a box, so they can bury you with everyone else, they put into a box. We want life better than that.
