And it's also interesting how many pyschiatrists and therapists we seem to have among ourselves. Actually, here's a new one: how many of you have seen a therapist or similar?
I'm actually a graduate in Medicine & Surgery. I became a doctor when probably some one here (!) wasn't even born.
So, No! It isn't a case of "new" one born few minutes ago, you see.
I turned away from it when I saw there was more corruption and greed all around where they shouldn't have been. If I had gotten myself involved I would have had a bungalow, car, etc. When it became apparent that I HAD to get along or get out, I opted to get out and then finding a job or do private practice in that field was simply stopped for me because I knew too much and also talked. ... We were expecting our first child then, and I had to take care of my parents too. I was just 28 then... I don't regret the lost "opportunities", or the lost years... the situation brought the best in me... I studied computer programming, did get to top positions in various engineering and software companies, traveled the world, made a small place for myself even on this wild internet. ... I also believe that this is the only post on this good thread that I would never read a second time... Why? You would never understand. No hard feelings
And I don't feel such threads or posts are ironic, even on BHW. We're STILL a big wonderful family, and when someone is down or un-pleased with life, we should try to make him feel better, if you can see!
Breaking your leg or someone dear having cancer... no, you're not expected to be God or live like Him. You're expected to be passionate human being, loving, caring, doing business when you need to do business, love your family when you are needed or even not needed, and do all your duties... btw, did you stop your, err, night activities when the leg was broken or healing? Then why cry? You're actually required to do whatever you must and in whatever situation to survive... and possibly try to help the needy if you feel like doing it. Make money, have fun, but know the life's secrets!
If you now call me a preacher, I would be more than happy, I don't have a degree in that but I always had the company of a real Great One. I reflect (sometimes, anyway
) whatever I learn from Him. Otherwise I'm a very normal human being.
Yes, thank you for the mention... I simply admire and worship Mother Theresa! God Bless Her!
