What would you do if your foreseeable future was all shit?

Still Having Problems With The Mother In Law Are We...???



Cheers Glen.

 

Buy a shovel

 

Become a Hare Krsna.

 

Change the future or become more tolerant

 

My life has been partially shit,which is why I am a bit of a Krsna.

 

Think of how many people have it worse than you. I am sure your problems pale in comparison to some, if not many people. That is how I try to look at things when I am faced with a shitty situation. It also helps to take things one day at a time. Basically, it is what it is.

 

One of the most offered advices and not for nothing :2thumbsup: I really take that one to heart and apply it with ever big shitty situation

Not a big fan of this band but this song is spot on! :sunny:

 

Start looking forward to the unforeseeable future.

I definitely wouldn't think of all the people who have it worse off than me, because that wouldn't help and might actually make me feel guilty and like a bad person.

 

Really? I've never felt that way, because I didn't make the world into the giant mess it is, and I can't fix it. Knowing that I'm lucky makes me not want to waste any opportunities.

 

bushmaster..

 

That is true. But I don't like when people tell each other: "Think of all the people who..." Yes, obviously some people have it worse than you do. That doesn't make your problems any less real or valid. If your struggle is real to you, than that is what matters. I think saying that to someone else really discredits their pain. I wouldn't say it to a depressed person, mainly. I don't think it's a huge crime to tell someone who is only occasionally unhappy, but there is always something more helpful to contribute.

In short, saying it to yourself isn't as bad as telling it to others, in my opinion.

 

change my perception

 

I think she might mean feel guilty about herself for feeling bad while others have it even worse. Not feeling guilty because she is responsible for those other peoples misfortune, I take it

 

You're right, that statement is never helpful or compassionate.

 

If it wasnt Sydney

Sth Korea or Japan would be my next choices on where to live.

I'm still jealous

 

It really can put our own problems in perspective. Although after that we still have to deal with them, naturally :biggrin:

1.Get enough food to eat,
and eat it.

and sleep there.

3.Reduce intellectual and emotional noise
until you arrive at the silence of yourself,
and listen to it.
