Thanks. It's something my parents used to say all the time when I was growing up. Words to live by. Well, words I live by at any rate.nuarc said:Wisdom Seeker that is a wonderful, signature line.
I do know what you mean Wisdom Seeker, and I agree with you. I didnt understand where the girls were coming from after the fashion show, and that was not ok. Yet, I believe that Amanda did plug for sympathy before the judges when she said that she would be completely blind in 5 years. Something changes (at least for me) between "Im legally blind" and "Im legally blind, but I expect to be completely blind in 5 years." They didnt ask her anything. I guess I just like to keep information. I dont reveal much or any information about my own illness unless I absolutely have to. Who knows, perhaps she feels she has to.Wisdom Seeker said:Well, I for one can totally understand that garbage that Amanda got about her blindness from those jeolous, catty girls. It's why I don't tell people about my illness much either. It's exactly how people act. You think you're being honest by stating what is, and not trying to hide it like you're ashamed, and people think you're only saying it to get sympathy or manipulate them. If people know that you have a problem, but they don't see you stumble and fall, because you've gotten really good at covering, as any of us who have a physical problem do, they are not only not sympathetic, they're down right mean. This is one of the negative sides of humanity that I really hate. That being compassionate is always conditional.
