OK little story here
Abusive drunk family, plenty of legal issues as a child, ran over by a drunk driver, ( flatlined 3 times in ICU for a month and disabled ), divorced 2 times, 2 kids, married again, adopted 2 kids, worked my way into silicon valley, now I do ok
cliff notes of my life. Judge me all you want but what I have learned is life is a fight to the death. You can lay down and let it run over you complaining about how the deck is stacked against you or you can do the best you can.
Your choice. I have and will continue to help those who I see fighting the good fight but I have no empathy for quitters.
- Frondo 7y agoThis is a bad way to run a society, that everyone is "in a fight to the death," especially for the wealthiest nation in history. We're sitting on enough resources to feed and house everyone, and the rich would still be fabulously rich. "I struggled, therefore struggle is okay" is not the answer.
- geggam 7y agoI didn't quit and because of that succeeded in spite of the obstacles. There is your example. Trust me... being on disability was an option and quite tempting. I wanted more out of life than to sit around letting others take care of me.
- Frondo 7y agoYou know that statement, the plural of anecdote is not data? Lots of people struggle and what you're describing is just crab bucket. You struggled so you think it's okay if everyone does. It's not.
- geggam 7y agoNot struggling through life would be what I call privilege. Someone did struggle and gave you that privilege. No one coasts through life without someone struggling.
