I think they can both learn from each other.

See, I’m an old crusty bastard like Raijin, but while I hear and empathize with the hand that he got dealt, I can’t help but feel his story has a happy ending. He has a computer and an internet connection, so clearly he got himself off the street and out of the breadline. And, because I’m generally inclined to believe the best in people until folks like Crystalpepsifan prove me wrong, I inclined to believe that his life improved by his own initiative. He may feel bitter and that’s certainly justified, but I’m reading his story in the light that he got dealt a rotten, rotten hand, and he got himself out of it. I can’t relate to his experience, but I can be inspired by his strength.

Same with you, QuickSciFi... your story is also very inspiring

I just want to say that this is like a home for me. It's easily the best forum I've ever been a member of and, whether you know it or not, you guys have helped me through some very dark times. So...thanks. I may not make it all the way, but thanks for helping me. :) xx

:rock:
Much love to you all

I won't bore anyone with details but I have had a lot happen and up until well in my 20s I was pretty bitter and even had a few suicide attempts (no not how I was clinically dead) but I stopped because of reasons stated. Still came out in a better place and you can dwell on the past or move forward. You still choose which wolf wins. I choose not to angry. I do have a cynical side but I won't let it engulf me. The past isn't happening right now, so why worry about it?

A lot of shit happens and you deal with it. If nothing can be done about it you bite the bullet and move on. Have a goal in mind and work towards it. Have something to look forward to no matter how long it takes. And while you are at it, try and enjoy what joys you can now.

I'm from a white working class family who have known nothing but struggling and hardship to get to where they are. Where does that place us on the 'white privilege' scheme of things?

You lost him at “white.”

And Crys, I consider myself very privileged to have a heart not full of hate. Thank you for noticing.

It's my attention to detail that makes me who I am. That and my heart full of abject hatred for whitey.

I didn't know Shuhada' Davitt posted on SEGA forums. Interesting tidbit.

Hey, that’s a very nice thing to say. If I put out that feeling, I’m very happy with that.

Have you ever thought that hating on people who did nothing wrong to you might not be all that healthy?

Do you not also despise whitey? Seriously though, I don't hate anybody........ because of their race.
