Sometimes you are tired of grinding endlessly with little if anything to show for it, all because we threw a bad dice at birth.
A person who wallows in such despair and self-pity would be well served by considering whether he is poisoned by envy, perhaps the envy of egalitarianism. To paraphrase Chesterton, at least the aristocrats of old had the satisfaction of feeling superior than others. The egalitarian man cuts down all those he fears are better than he is (typically by denying the qualities of others)!
The majority of our suffering, especially the spiritual and psychological variety, is our own doing. There are plenty of people born with all sorts of conditions who live happy lives because they've accepted the immutable and made the best of the cards they were dealt. If self-pity deserves anything, it is not compassion, but contempt.
Yeah or rather that man sees tbat often those who are better have counter-balanced that better by a marginal worse in other dimensions :)
I can confidently say that it is a lot easier to go through life not feeling like a victim.
It takes extra work and introspection to change states, but it is far easier in the long run.
If you can't achieve the activation energy needed to change, then staying stuck in that rut is the easiest thing you can do.
My personal experience that activation energy comes from knowledge. The process of finding it can be more unpleasant but not necessarily harder
to put it a different way, the decent to rock bottom is painful but easy. Inflection only occurs when and if someone discovers or internalizes something new.
It's like trying to explain water to a fish.
I claim to be right based on the merits of my argument alone.
Moreover, I specifically don't identify as a victim.
Do you not believe that some people are more knowledgeable or can have insights on any topic.
Do you have a point you are trying to make?
