I recall serious advice a returning soldier from WWII received along these lines (he himself quoted it in a documentary), but it's not suitable for a family thread.

Sorry.
That probably sounded harsh.
Kitty hugs are appreciated. :heart:

I find it hard to come here and read about how people are getting bad service at fast food joints and how the toppings on their burgers don't align properly, etc.

I realise I've probably become bitter and twisted but some of the stuff people write about here is not making me feel charitable towards them.

I realise it probably means the world to them, but I feel like yanking them into my world for a bit of perspective.

certainly haven't felt like I've been supporting anyone lately.

I know I can always post here, but I really need some active things to do, or else I feel restless and unhappy.

You know, the thing that worries me the most about this is how I'll look to other people.
Like, disabled.
Like, look at that poor, disabled person over there.
Didn't realise what a vain person I was.
But
I am.

That was another theme in this WWI documentary. Wounded soldier back from the war blowing his stack because the city council, say, would waste a half hour on important business like what kind of sign to put on the men's toilet.

I could probably use an exercise bike in the normal way.
Should have explained my legs aren't entirely useless.
I can do some movements but not others.
It's a bit weird.

I could do some cooking, I suppose, if I use the kitchen table.
I'll give it a go.

Yes, I don't know what these feelings say about me, or that soldier.
It's kind of a victim entitlement thing.
Can't say I like it, but it's hard not to feel kind of resentful when people bang on about trivial things and you've just had both your legs blown off, for example.
Like I'm the bigger victim and you don't deserve to complain about anything.
It's sucky, and I don't know how to stop feeling like this.

I don't think it's that at all -- it's the opposite of that. The things most people go on about *are* trivial and unimportant. This just exposes the fact that that's true.
