I came into this world naked weighing like 7 pounds and I couldn't talk. I had to rely on my mother for feeding, protection and getting around. It was a pretty sorry state to be in.

But look at me now! I control my destiny. I manipulate my surroundings. I eat what I want and I do what I want (for the most part).

But, I'm headed at top speed back to a rock bottom, much worse than depression or drug addition or the like. I'm headed back to decomposition.

"Rock Bottom" is a matter of perspective see.

At least you remember those days I suffered from amnesia most of that time.

I can relate a lot to this. Buddha taught something very similar to this train of thought and it has helped me keep everything in perspective and that anything is possible between birth and death.

You had free food and shelter and you didn't even have to lift a finger, even to wipe your own arse. Sorry not buying that sob story ... Try again.
