Can You Feel Me
Good point. Me too.elaine said:
I don't consider myself better or worse than anyone. I may be in better or worse circumstances, but as a person, I am just a human being in the same human condition.
Thanks. Never read anything by HollywoodFred that I remember. I still say I am just human subject to all the human failings, temptations, hurts, elations, joy, and everything else that goes with being a human.elaine said:

I agree with that. I feel that it's morally wrong to pass judgment on other people as better or worse, in part because that implies that some people are more worthy to live than others. I try to only judge myself in terms of my past actions and learning from them.2ndAmendment said:

it's not up to me to determine if i'm better or worse than someone else......that is someone elses opinion

I wasn't saying all people should be alike. We all have different abilities and different levels of ability. Our system of free enterprise and democracy lets people succeed based on ability and hard work.elaine said:
What I'm saying is that your abilities don't make you better or more worthy as a human being. The reason that legal discrimination used to exist is because it was commonly believed that some classes of people were more worthy than others, and that was based not on actual ability but on myths about ability.

Dear Tonio,
Someone will always be prettier.
They will always be smarter.
Their house will be bigger.
They will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go,
and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it.
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored
woman on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know,
she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely.
And the word says if "I have not Love, I am nothing."
So, again, love you.
Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say
"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"
"Winners make things happen.
Losers let things happen."

We'll have to agree to disagree because I know there are people out there who are much better than I am, in one way or another. I can say that because I know who I am. I know I'm not one of the kindest people in the world, nor am I the most forgiving. I do not have the qualities that most people consider good. So, there ya' go.

Although I appreciate your thoughts, I don't think you get my point. I absolutely hate being judged by other people. In my life I've known damned few people who've loved me for myself. Everyone else I've known, including my own family, seems to grant love and approval on a merit system. It feels like I have to be perfect, or at least be someone else, to be worthy of their love and approval.kwillia said:
