about 20 years ago I was at a friend's house and her boyfriend took her car and he wrecked and she snapped because this is the second car of hers that she let someone drive and both were wrecked i asked her who's fault is it and she said her boyfriends fault I smiled and said yah but who's fault is it . She said his fault. I said yah but if you didn't let him drive it it wouldn't have happened maybe

I said I realized something a long time ago and that is when something happens to me like if I Let somebody borrow something or if I ask somebody to do something and they break something I said The only person I can blame is myself because I didn't do it myself and I asked him for help or I asked them if he wanted to make some money and if I would have just did it myself maybe it might not have happened maybe it would have but all I can do is blame myself

And I said I thought about things for a long time life is way too short and I ask myself if something happened what would it be that we just totally piss me off

And everything that I came up with I figure in a matter of a day two days a week I would be over it

So then I had to ask myself there's not too much that I can't handle you know so there's no reason to get all out of control and pissed off so I thought about it a little bit deeper and I came up with four things in this world that I could not let go that I would have to get pissed and I would have to do something about it everything else is nothing really nothing that I can't handle

And once I came to that conclusion my life got so much better and it's the little things that matter it's the very little things that matter that make your day

I thought there was five things but I guess there's only four But the first one is When the girl says no She means no and if I seen something happening or something did happen I would hunt down that guy I'm not going to tell you what I would do but I would h u n t him down

The second one is if you hit a child and you are hitting that child I will put a stop to it

The next one is if you hurt an elderly person
I will put a stop to it

And the next one is if you kick your dog or your pet and you pound on your pet I will put a stop to it

And I say all this because if you do any of the above it's more less premeditated you know what you're doing and that's wrong

But I've had my cars wrecked before I've had dirt bikes ripped off before I've had many ripped off before I've had a lot of things happen And it's really nothing That I couldn't handle

So I say everybody should make a list on what would set them off what is it in this world that would totally piss you up that you cannot handle and you would have to do something about or you don't think you would get over it

So I told my friend let's go we went to my house walked in grab a set of keys grab the title to a car that I had it was a four-wheel drive Chevy Blazer I was trying to teach my nephew something on how to get a car free in this car I got to teach him that if he puts his mind to it he can get anything for free you just have to be smart but I handed her the car keys and I said there you go are you going to let anybody drive it I said once I signed this title it's your car if you let somebody drive it and they wreck it that's on you

Everything that we do in life we experience something from it and the more I experience the more I understand who I truly am or who I truly want to be and there's not too many things except for those four that would phase me everything else it's just a matter of time until the hurt the pain the anger goes away so why not just get it over with the very first 20 minutes and something happens and get over it life is too beautiful if you love somebody go give them a big hug and tell them that you love them

I agree with the perspective part. We're all here to learn suffer and grow.

Plus who's to say the someone who's spending thir first night alone isn't sitting there going "he always did the dishes right after dinner and had such good, well timed advice! ☹️😭"

Every second of the day something bad is happening to thousands of people. You can empathise but dwelling on it doesn't help them and only screws up your own mental health. We'll all face heartbreak and tragedy sooner or later, it's the happy times that get us through. If you're mind is always occupied with the worlds suffering you'll break.

I agree with the centimate of what is written there.

Staximus · Answer

But somebody else is experiencing is irrelevant, and you can’t relate to it because you’re not there experiencing it with them
