When A Person Like Me Remarks That Something Is “Sad”
When I say that something is “sad,” it usually is.
I get the notion to express compassion from both my personal integrity, and from my conditioned response to do so.
Since I’ve experienced a lot of difficult times with mental illness, I am well-equipped to say that something (anything illness related), is sad.
I hope that I can continue having compassion (although I don’t think that that will be a problem), and I hope that things will get better for people in my situation. Including me.
But, I am not so hopeful when it comes down to it…
I do not believe in a “cure.”
While some are holding onto hope for that as an answer, I just don’t feel the same way.
I’ll hedge my bets on trying to be compassionate towards everyone though. Even if they believe a cure is coming.
After all, what matters most, in my view, is how you treat others. Especially those who can do nothing for you.

The only meaning I can ascribe to my life is one that challenges me and makes me happy.

"You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You will only be criticized by someone who is doing less than you."
Compassion is always a good approach, regardless of what beliefs people might have.
