I think I finally figured it out.
I've asked myself for years why I am
like I am. Why I feel the pain of others so deeply, why I am
disappointed with humanity on so many levels, and and why I want to
try and help everyone find their happy place if they can't on their
own.
I feel like I have enough.
Enough luck, enough joy, enough life,
that I can't ask or expect more.
In the past, I have accepted the
difficulties and bad luck as hardships that humanity shares, and
since I can take it better than most, it's OK that I get a bigger
share. There's only so much awfulness that can exist and if I can
take some of someone else's, we are all better for it.
As illogical as that sounds, it makes
sense to me. It also makes it easier to handle something not-so-great
coming my way. We all have our limit to what we can manage, and
without the responsibilities of a significant other or children, life
is way less complicated and easier to absorb a challenge or two. And
I get more sleep.
Not only that, but it's a happier way
to live since I am not constantly asking, “why me?” when an
unforeseen situation appears. I may ask myself how in the world will I
keep a smile on my face while conquering this dilemma, but I can,
more times than not. If you see me and I'm looking happy, you know I
succeeded
Sound reasonable, or delusional????
Delusional!
