I've had a stomach virus the past few days, so I really feel like crap. And Brian decides to be a huge jerk NOW. Not when I was feeling good and getting stuff done. Ugh.

cave_dweller_candy Bad things have to happen for good things to happen. Pirate Captain Sushi Would you mind if I blew up an orphanage so other people can care enough about orphans and other parentless children can have families? :B I can't help but think you're twisting her words around. :/ What cave said is very . . . zen. o3o Everything has an opposite. You can't have light without dark. You can't have the inside of an object unless there is an outside. If there is no bad, then there is no good. What cave was saying was that GMH makes the best out of a bad situation. You're not doing anyone any favors by blowing up orphanages or intentionally doing bad things. It isn't about that. It's about the fact that s**t happens. s**t happened. s**t will happen in the future. It's out of our control. I can't change what happened and I can't control everything that happens. Shooting up an orphanage doesn't really come into play here because you're intentionally doing something bad. It's not about making something bad in order for good things to happen. It's about the good that comes out of something. It's like when we make mistakes. We don't purposefully screw up, but when we do, we can learn from our screw ups. ---- To Sushi and Jedi: being really, truly happy takes work. It doesn't come easy to most people. You're not helping yourself by looking at the glass have empty and refusing to even try to see it as half full. And that's what I see going on here. In my opinion. sweatdrop

In my opinion. sweatdrop If I'm twisting her words around, I don't mean to, you realize how late this is to be up for an EST time zoner? @o@ Something good WILL happen out of the blowing up of an orphanage. Orphans will get more coverage. People will rally together, donate money to protect orphanages from future blowings up, maybe even add coverage to certain orphanages that people want to adopt from. Point is, thanks to the destruction of one orphanage, others will have better security and possibly better standards from all that donation money. There is a light side to every bad situation. Sure a bunch of homeless children died, doesn't mean others get to suffer. Not only that, organized hated will bring people together against said orphanage blower-upper. It may give people an excuse to grieve, but it will unite them just the same. @ GLASS THINGY: See, I look at the half empty glass and I can't help but laugh at it. I don't imagine that it's half full- that's just splitting hairs. I do laugh at the people who see it as being half full because, from personal experience (yes I know personal experience is nothing good to use in this sort of discussion), people who see the glass half full are compensating for inability to actually see it as such. They see it half empty but think if they try to see it half full, they will. They force themselves to see it half full. Now me personally: even if the glass is half full I'm assuming it's empty. That way I'm happy when there's more than I though and I'm prepared to be let down if there isn't. Actually... I'm forgetting my point to this whole thing really. rofl

CleoSombra Shooting up an orphanage doesn't really come into play here because you're intentionally doing something bad. It's not about making something bad in order for good things to happen. It's about the good that comes out of something. It's like when we make mistakes. We don't purposefully screw up, but when we do, we can learn from our screw ups. Yeah. Like, by blowing up an orphanage to try and achieve happiness just doesn't work because the bad things that come out of it triumph over the few good things. However, if something bad naturally occured and you could find something nice and hopeful amongst the dispair - great. That's a bonus. You've dealed with the situation + you get something happy from it. Making something bad happen when you know the negatives will be more plentiful than the benefits is just wrong. D:

CleoSombra To Sushi and Jedi: being really, truly happy takes work. It doesn't come easy to most people. You're not helping yourself by looking at the glass have empty and refusing to even try to see it as half full. And that's what I see going on here. In my opinion. sweatdrop
Well I'm not really refusing to see it as half full. If you read my argument with Sushi (and I don't expect you to have read all the posts in here, since I typically don't) you would see that I definitely understand where Cave is coming from. That's just not how I see things.
Anyway, I've been feeling a lot better ever since Saturday since I started my blog, so I think I'm gonna be alright. I was feeling really down yesterday because of what happened, but that's pretty much out of my head now. I appreciate the advice though.

Jedi Sasquatch Actually, I know exactly why it doesn't tend to help me. It's because a lot of the stories don't actually give me hope.
Let's take the two that I just read. Her baby sister wants to run away from home. How's that supposed to give me hope?
I don't see "people coming together," I see "another innocent girl has cancer." Damn it, world.
"To live is to suffer. To survive is to find meaning in the suffering." I've had Scleroderma since I was 4. It sucks but I'm okay with it. Most Sclero patients are in their 30s/40s and not okay with it but knowing me, who's had it almost my whole life, helps them a little. I've also met plenty of other kids with skin conditions, which helped me and I've made quite a few friends that way. Yes having a chronic illness sucks. But not everything about it sucks. It gave me depression for a few years but ever since I've gotten over it I've been able to see the good when bad things happen.

I understand that. Having the whole glass-is-half-full mentality is awesome, I'm not trying to say it isn't. But what I am saying is that those stories just don't cheer me up at all.

My glass is always half empty, and I like it that way. I don't want it to be completely empty. lol.
I just wanted to vent about how irrational parents can be. Most of the time they are right and the things they say usually make sense. But when the kid presents an argument that's solid, rational and possible they just refuse to listen, which in turn makes you not want to listen to them. And then everything gets ruined.
Parents, be more rational. Please.
