Embracing My Misfortune

[Anonymous]

To anyone who was dealt a bad hand. Dealing with any inadequacy is difficult.

Some of the hardest things to accept are the parts of ourselves we cannot change. Life is not fair and effort does not ensure success. No matter how hard we try we will always be less usefull and/or attractive than others. But you should not be angry with yourself or anyone else for your bad luck, it is just nature. Do not take this as an excuse to be lazy but just be satisfied when you know you've done your best. That's all you can give.

Just remember whenever you accomplish something you did it even with the odds stacked against you. Be proud of yourself.

I understand the point of the Take, but a consolation prize is forever just that: a consolation prize.

Being born to lose sucks. What will you do about it though?

Yes, make lemonade out of lemons, I get it. I prefer challenging the belief that life has dealt a person an unfair burden. Obviously, if someone is born without arms, that is a monumental burden. But most of what I read on here about how unfair life is centers on the fact that a girl only has 32B boobs or a guy's dick is only 5" long or they get nervous around the opposite sex. The truth is that probably the majority of people have some aspect of their life that makes them feel that they are at a disadvantage. Many of those "disadvantages" are just a matter of perception. Girl's complain about 32B boobs and don't believe that there are guys who actually dislike large boobs. A guy complains about his unit being a micro 5" long when that is only slightly less than average length, and some girls are afraid of guys with large probes.

I don't disagree with what you said; I would simply add to it.

Oh well, I had a uncle who would tell me to embrace the suck whenever we did sonething rough or hard. I try to live the best possible life possible. Obviously guys who look better or are richer probably have a better life but I'm not going to get jealous. the same way I don't feel sad for people who have it worse then me. I am what I am, I have my advantages and disadvantages. Im just going to embrace this shitty life and make the most of it. Embrace the suck. Lol.
