What was your war cry? I was thinking about this today. The one I used the most was “No one understands”. As if I was so unique that ONLY I could feel pain. Only I suffered the loss of a loved one. Only I struggled financially. I focused on my disability and knew those of you that don’t have a disability surely could not understand. I focused on those of you who seemed to have your life together and surely you could not understand. It says in our literature that SELF CENTEREDNESS is at the core of our disease and this thinking proved just that. I don’t agree with the statement that life is not fare. This would be true if only one person on this earth suffered life’s many hardships. But we all do. Yes we all don’t suffer from the exact same ones, but we all endure life’s hardships sooner or later. I my not know what it’s like to suffer from physical or sexual abuse. I don’t know what it’s like to have grown-up with out a parent. I don’t know what it’s like to be homeless. I pray I never know what it’s like to have one of my children die before me or my wife for that matter. I do know what it’s like to feel hopeless. To feel alone. To want to die. To feel less then, not good enough and not apart of. What we all share as human beings is pain for one reason or another. When I would go through pain of any kind it always seemed to be the worst ever. The truth is it what I perceive it to be. I know now that I am not that unique. What ever I go through there is some one that understands. I am not alone and neither are YOU !
