Life Is Too Precious

[b]Call this a mopey, crybaby, sentimental morality thread but somewhere, deep down, I bet most of you have thought or felt this way before.....

I have surrendered my tendency to attack, insult, or offend a person's pride, being, and identity. I have surrendered the state of anger, I have surrendered the state of criticism, judgement, and bias. I have surrendered holding grudges or aiming to make anyone feel any sort of pain for whatever reason.

Or at least I am trying too...

I often get angry or frustrated with loved ones.... my mother, my father, my brothers, my sister, my grandmother, my freinds, even my dog....but I remember...they will not be here forever. Neither will I.

Someone I love may die tomorrow, or some time when I least expect.....what would have been the last thing I said or done to them before that ? How would I want them to remember me ? Would I want them to have any doubts that I wholeheartedly love them?

What about my enemies ? Even if I do not genuinely care for thier life or being, what would happen to someone who loved them had they known I attacked thier beloved ? IF someone attacks my mother or other loved one, it would hurt me as well, and it would hurt me deeply.

Why would I want to put an innocent person through that kind of pain by attacking or hurting thier loved one ?

I am done in my participation of causing pain on anyone, at the same time I am done dwelling on pain others have caused me.

I do not have all eternity to waste. Every moment of Life is precious, and I will not waste another moment in needless conflict. Not another fkn second...

Or at least I will do my best to avoid such a waste...

You do not have your loved ones forever..you do not have your identity forever..you do not have your life forever...

Why not make each moment count ? Why not enjoy every single moment of life in some way, shape, or form ?

I think we all ignore what we know....one day someone you love will die before you do....whether it be your parents, your grandparents, a sibling, a freind, a lover, or even your own child...someone you love will die before you will

OR

You will die before someone you Love will

It's a tragedy that will have to be faced one day by US ALL

So I am deciding that I will treat my loved ones with absolute respect, because I WILL NEVER GET THOSE MOMENTS BACK !

And likewise, I decided every other person deserves, if not outright respect, at least a chance at it.

What say you ?

Can any of you let go of your conflicts and embrace everyone and everything for what it is ? [/B]

Welcome back 🙂

I live my life for those who respect and I am worthy for their kindness and friendship. Concept of living and dying. I enjoy. To be happy, is who I am. I know where I am goin when my life ends, and for us all we will be judge by your own maker

Again, welcome back

We fall down in life so we can learn to pick ourselves back up.

At least that's what I think and I'm sticking with it.

That's great, but there's a major difference between falling down in life, and then taking your life and the life of others for granted.

Every moment is precious, the good moments and the bad. LEt us treasure them instead of disregarding them.

I think some people get into self-pity way too much. When things go bad for me I think about two things; there is always someone else who has had it worse then me, and it has to get better soon because it's always darkest before the dawn.

Self Pity is a waste of time, and usually the people who drown in it most are masochist

However, there are some people who are programmed with self-pity. For example; some forms of Christianity focuses on the suffering side of Christianity. That is a form of religious self-pity.

If you are talking about Catholicism, then no....Catholics are not programmed to pity themselves, they are programmed to believe that they deserve to suffer...BIG difference.

I don't see a difference. "Deserve to suffer" is still self loathing and self-pity. Now that can be transcended, but it takes a lot of self respect to over come the “burn in hell” mentality. BTW I was talking about fundamental Christianity, not Catholicism.

They both the same crap to me, sorry. lol

Secondly, no.....feeling you "deserve to suffer" is not the same as self pity. When you pity yourself, you feel you are not living the way you should be living, or want to be living. You drown in dispair as to why you are suffering, "why me, why me" etc.

When you feel that you deserve to suffer, yes, it is Self-Loathing, but it's not always self pity. Sometimes, it's masochism, other times it's simply lack of self respect.

The outcome is the same, is it not? Can you tell the difference in the person if you don't know them well? And how would they act differently?

A person in true self pity would cry and be depressed all the time, lack self esteem

A person who feels they deserve to suffer will do things to make themselves suffer, they will inflict further pain upon themself, and do nothing beneficial for one's self.

At least the person in pity will search a means of escape if one is made available

There is a rule about Hell; those who are in hell want others to suffer with them. I think the differences above are small; however, they are both a waist of time. So, finding the benefit in a bad time in your life is worth while because "Life is too Precious" to do otherwise.

Those who are in Hell always want others to be in Hell with them, because they cannot BARE to suffer alone....
