I think I’ll sit this one out.
This entire exercise is an appeal for empathy.
I do not care to experience, even for a day, the trials and tribulations of one who is gay, black, quadriplegic, blind, Arab, deaf, pregnant, republican, homeless, white, terminal, stupid, Jew, democrat, atheist, Nazi has dandruff or rickets or fibromyalgia or halitosis or cleft lip or buck teeth is stuck in prison or Wyoming or is green from eating too much broccoli.
I have enough problems being me without taking on the burdens of every affliction, stereotype, disease, handicap, orientation, race and problem known to mankind.
Do any of you realize what it is like to have to go through life in this species being aesthetically challenged?
OK, after re-reading this I can see that through my inane sense of humor my point is not coming through. I'll leave it all there just because it felt good writing it.
We are human. Sometimes we are not as empathetic towards others as those others think we should be. We all have issues of one sort or another. Considering the plight of MOST humans on this planet, each and every one of us on this board is doing very well indeed, thank you very much.
Being gay, black, quadriplegic, blind, Arab, deaf, pregnant, republican, homeless, white, terminal, stupid, Jew, democrat, atheist, Nazi having dandruff or rickets or fibromyalgia or halitosis or cleft lip or buck teeth being stuck in prison or Wyoming or being green from eating too much broccoli is a nit compared to the vast majority of human sufferings.
So you find life is unfair, hard, ridiculous, painful and all too often psychologically brutal and no one seems to be sensitive enough to your petty little problem. Deal with it. And take your self-pity somewhere else. My plate is already full.
Ya . it’s one of those days.
