i’m feeling really bad now. life is so unfair!!!
anyone around? even a hangman game would be nice now…
AOB, life does seem really unfair sometimes. With this, I can really sympathize. If you want to talk, I’ll listen.
~a~
i do, but you (or someone else) will think i’m really horrible. i’m not sure it’s a good idea to say anything but it’s driving me a little crazy.
AOB, there are absolutely no judgements here. You are welcome to say if something’s really bugging you. If you’re not ready to talk yet, that’s fine, too. Your decision.
~a~
i don’t think anyone’s horrible. unless they are a creep of a person… 😉 what bugging you?
AOB I’ve heard it all. You’re safe with me, but I’m here for like 3 minutes only. I’ll be glad to help you if you post now, and I could try to comment later.
Is this the thread where people turn when they’re down?
anonymisss are you doing any better?
*kapusta*
AOB, also, you’re human, and you’re allowed some down time. Dont be so hard on yourself, never helps.
*kapusta*
kapusta: yes (its where ppl turn to 😉 )
ummm ok…
sometimes it feels unfair in my favor! sure, i have little annoyances & difficulties but so many people have it so much worse. like i’m hogging the easy life while others have to struggle. but i have nothing to do with it & no control – can’t bear someones pain for them. not that i’m asking for hard stuff but i really don’t want others to suffer. & i don’t get those stories of gedolim depriving themselves of something to feel others’ pain – it’s not like it’s taking away from anything, so whats the point??
who said it’s not? When Hashem has to punish someone, He takes into account everyone who will be affected. everyone. If a tzaddik gave of himself, why wouldn’t it take away from the punishment?
i don’t know…this sounds sort of weird. are you saying if someone tortures themself they can lessen the pain of others around them? somehow that doesn’t sound right
here’s an example: how would you feel if you were broke and couldn’t afford a thing and your friend had everything – whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. deprived, right? so if he toned it down and didn’t get himself the world so that he could empathize, you feel more of a connection.
pathetic example, but you get the point. it’s just a way of caring. and no one said torture. just a little holding back.
Well I can’t talk for you, but I know me (and probably most people) are not on the level that those tzaddikim were on, and it was/is also for a tzibbur.
moish, NICE!
Misery loves company
Would you eat a cake in front of your friend who is starting a diet?
Would you drink a beer next to a friend who is in rehab?
How about this one: I remember hearing a story about an 11 year old boy who lost his hair undergoing chemotherapy, in order to make sure he wasn’t embarrassed in school, the other boys in class also shaved their heads.
well that’s more like, don’t flaunt it (which i do try not to), not, afflict yourself so you can feel their pain.
wow really, 39? i know in camp simcha the counselors all wear caps.
ok
thanks, ames
AOB, you didn’t sound too good before, do you want to talk or something or just ask random questions?
AOB, I give you a very sincere bracha that Hashem give you menuchas hanefesh and answer all your bakashos l’tova and make whatever your going through lessened to the most possible! 🙂
thanks guys. it helps that you answered
kapusta: thanks, wish i could stay but i really really have to go now (parents & their crazy ideas 😉 )
ames: not much mine, it’s mostly those i love
Mod 39, that story brings to mind three words… Mi K’amcha Yisrael!
the name of the thread needs a title chance-carrots, eggs, and coffee just do not sound right anymore!
Sorry Kapusta, the story did not take place in a Yeshiva. It was a public school somewhere in the US
Jax- it’s actually the perfect title. Before, during or after the situation we should look back at the original post and determine if that person is a carrot, egg or coffee. We can plan ahead, change direction or learn a lesson for the future
areivimzehlazeh: ok if you think of it like that then the title fits!
Thread falling off page.
~a~

kapusta: or wish we did!
kapusta, totally!
~a~
Jax, any issues we can help you with?
kapusta: thanx i’m doing well!
ames: you have a new topic to start?
Coffee destroys itself in doing what it does.
