Is the grass really greener?...I dunno?

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." -Plato

I was talking with my therapist the other day, and I asked him if he had SA growing up as a child, and if this is the reason he got into the profession he did? He said no, he had "never suffered from SA". I immediately became envious of him...I couldn't imagine what life would be like without having this hindrance in my life. Life would be 'so easy' I thought to myself, and I couldn't imagine what others who do not suffer from SA really have to complain about? But he did reveal to me that he had serious anger issues, and this was something he dillegenlty worked at to overcome in his life, he is now a practicing Buddhist, and probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. But my point being is I'm not so sure the grass is always greener? Do you think? It may appear that way, it may appear that everyone else has it all together, that life is so breezy and easy for them, but is it really? I think about people who are struggling on a day to day basis as well; with obesity, chronic pain, physical afflictions, poverty, homelessness, abandonment, and the list goes on and on and on. I believe we each have our own struggles and battles to overcome, all of us, not just some. SA just happens to be our own personal curriculum, our own work to overcome. It could be better, it could be worse, I dunno? Any thoughts?

I hear what you're saying.

Although I still believe that we live in an unfair world. Yes. Everybody has their problems and struggles. But some people simply have more problems than others do... especially the lower class people whose presence is mostly ignored by the rest of the society; the people who are on welfare becaus their problems are so debilitating that they can't work if they wanted to...

I guess all we can do is first overcome our own problems. and then try to help the less fortunate.
