What do you think you were in a past life?

I was made relatively [physically and mentally] slow and frail in this lifetime in order to teach me mercy.

Perhaps that's a better (and less bitter) way of looking at it. Maybe my suffering is how I'm being taught kindness and understanding.

Well, I think I'll just look at it from the more positive viewpoint. It certainly can't hurt anything to stop feeling sorry for myself every once in awhile.

as hard as some of us have it, there is always somebody else who has it far worse. in desiderata it says "If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself."

That's very true. I know I am lucky compared to many people. However, it is hard to see so many others who are happy and much better off, especially when they seem to reject me based upon their prejudices. Every once in awhile I do remind myself that it could be much worse.

chances are, we don't like being reminded of ourselves so we also reject people we deem beneath us as well but that never enters our thinking because we generally don't notice those people in the first place, we only notice the shinier more beautiful people we put on pedestals above us. remember, there are people out there who regard US as the shiny ones. love THEM. and US.

I'll play. XD

I may or may not be a butterfly who end up being lost and left out of the flock by not following it's instinct. Too bad, being a cat in past life didn't crossed my mind.

If anything 'human,' I might have been a mix between a daredevil who lived a short life, a nurturing white witch who acts like a guardian of sorts, and a lone eccentric drifter.

I was a little kitty. *mew*

If you believe negative things about yourself, then your body and soul and spirit will listen and become those things.

I'd buy THAT for a dollar!
