This is a copy and paste from an earlier message I posted, I just think some people might need to hear this...

NOBODY is a FAILURE, It's my opinion, in my 62+ yrs and an over the road trucker I've met all kinds of people. 100% of the people I've met had their own story. Some are limited by education, some by physical limitations, and some by emotional limitations, and then there's some with all the above and then there's those with PTSD due to, family, friends, war, and crime.
What they all had in common is they all tried to deal with their situations with the knowledge and abilities they had and without further knowledge they can't take it any further.
Most of those who feel like "failures" are those that "compare" their lives to others or try to meet other people's standards.
I tell them if they compared their lives to their standard and what they want, not other's, where do they stand, in life you are responsible for you so, take risk, be with the one you want too be with, work at the career you want, same goes for , school, trade, food etc.....
Now some people will feel like me. Living in pain, physical and emotional, and terminal illness, we've been to all the doctor's and been told there's nothing more we can do. I personally want to die with dignity and on my terms.
When I choose to die I believe Jesus Christ will be by my side giving me comfort.

The Bible tells us to trust in God and when it's our time to die God will be with us and comfort us. I believe wether we die of natural causes, a car accident, murder victim, illness or suicide it's on God's timing some time the way we die God uses it to educate, or get a message across to our love ones.


Sorry this is so long. And of course this is my opinion.

It really is an unfair life as so many people are disadvantaged through no fault of their own. Some people are just more unlucky than others and it's sad how so much suffering exists. I don't believe in religion personally but I wish you the best.

Your right other's do have a disadvantage due to no fault of their own.... But as far as people feeling they're a failure, myself included at times, I personally don't feel anyone is a failure, they just haven't found their success yet. Maybe their success is to end their suffering

Thank you for your wise words. I ve met many people who have gained so much strength from their faith. I know the church does so much good work in our communities. At a personal level i could never get it; Why does god allow parents to abuse their children?. You see ive never recovered and yet i feel i ve carried the burden of abuse and now at 36 im dying.! I do believe in a loving god called nature who breathed life into me and will once more take my dying breath when im finally reunited from whence i came. I wish you PEACE❤

I also grew up in an abusive childhood, my father put me in a reform school when I was 12 and kept me there till I was 18. All though I feel I was given up on I didn't let it define me, once I met my wife and had kids I realized I can't change the way I was raised I can only change the way I raise my family and with the help of my wife and God I did realize why I went through what I did.. My youngest has the same problem I have and while my Dad didn't know how to handle it, I was able to help my son because I knew how NOT to handle it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, though we may not understand, is sometimes God will allow suffering for the better the next generation.
