I WASN'T any insensitive. I just said they will recover soon and that's true. Last year (2008 actually) I was in peruvian Ica which in 2007 suffered massive earthquake, and it was all new built so I couldn't even recognize anything. People then go on with their lives.. do you loose your house, well so you build a new one, did you loose your kid, you have a new one.. am I cruel, maybe, but that's life.Now I had a though about one chicken in England, a couple had a chicken and it got ill, they paid thousands of pounds for it's recovery. Foolish? Everything is foolish, because everything is relative. Relative is also world's poverty. They live with 2 dolars daily, OK, but what do you buy in those countries for 2 dolars and what in the USA or Western Europe? Even if if wasn't much, they grow their own or get their living by other means. Money isn't everything as we in the west tend to think. I have been in some poor countries and am not saying they have easy lives, but still think we in the west are the poorest... we suffer much more inner emptiness than them, we suffer loneliness, depression.. and I am not alone who thinks that.
If you say so.

Lea just isn't coming across too well, is she?
EDIT: Must be a Republican.
Yeah, I feel this way as well.
Yes, but you could decide to make the kind of changes in your life that might lead you a little closer to happiness. Gotta start somewhere!

I'm doing the one thing I can which is to get an education. Everything else is beyond my control.

Ok, fair enough. but, i'm not really talking about external things so much as changing the way you think about yourself or perceive the world around you. that is within your control, even though it really doesn't seem like it. believe it or not you can change the way you feel, over time.
I got to the point where in my life where i couldn't go on being constantly suicidal and locked up in mental hospitals. I had to decide to either just f****** put myself out of my misery or decide to live and try to find reasons to want to.

The bad news for me is that I don't have health insurance so treatment isn't an option.
You know, it's so f****** typical to act like because I say to TRY to help yourself, I don't know what the f*** I'm talking about. I have major depression. I have SA. I do not have health insurance or the ability to afford treatment. But I at least try to realize that there are small things I can do to help myself and I do not have to be eternally limited by negative thoughts.
