PrintableAnotherLoverToo said: I think that's part of why I became a social worker; instead of always feeling powerless or whining all of the time, I make myself an advocate for those who are willing and we "do the work". I see/hear some of the shittiest things firsthand and it's difficult, but on the flip-side, I'm also able to effect change. There's nothing as fulfilling as seeing progress, change, growth and love come from what was once seen as an impossible situation.
Humanity is also amazingly beautiful that way. Sometimes the people you had the least amount of hope for are the very ones who pull through.  i could never do that as work. i couldn't even handle working at a newsstation, the pain was too much. being a social worker would kill me Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

dreamfactory313 said: Im a very sensitive person as well. I am just very sympathetic to other peoples pain. My whole family is like that really. I cant help it. I remember seeing a dead cat on the corner when I was about 4 years old. It was the first time that I had ever seen a dead animal and it made such an emotional impact on my spirit that I still remember it 20 years later. I believe that everything on earth is 1. And when some part of the earth hurts, we all hurt. It may be subconscious, but its pain nevertheless, which is why we should take care of each other and our environment. If u dont believe me, take a look at our eco-system. I digress.
my parents hated driving me anywhere, as dead animals on the side of the road would send me into crying. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

Satan said: anyone else have these little moments, or is it just me?
[Edited 2/8/05 15:47pm] you're not alone. more than a few times i've been told i'm "thin-skinned" but hey if that makes me more sensitive to the world then so be it. i consider my self more aware, amongst others who are like this too. no, it is not just you...i have those moments most days actually. there's usually something that sets me off either on tv or in the real world which can either get me down or make me feel "emotional". there, there, Satan....   | |

today at work i was sitting in the internet cafe, and a class of newbies let out. they were walking very quickly, trying to get to lunch, i assume. and then one of the came out the door, and she was moving very slowly, as she has that leg condition, where she takes a step, and like the knee goes back a little, and the one leg is shorter than the other, i have no idea what it is called. and she is moving as fast as she can, but it's like only half the pace of the others, who are swarming past her. it just made me want to cry. and of course, being the moron i am, i dwelled on it and start worrying about this girl will never meet someone who loves her, will never get married, ect. i just wanted to hold her and cry for her. god, i hate the world sometimes. anyone else have these little moments, or is it just me?

gemini13 said: Satan said: i'm a gemini Yes, I feel your pain. I've been earning a lot more money lately. Maybe it's guilt, but I saw this guy driving a crappy car and he had duct tape for a window and it was raining. I told my boyfriend that soon I would be giving money to people on the streets. That I would just, as in the case of the guy with no window, walk up to them and say HERE. It's just something I need to do. There have been times when the feeling of others' pain is so overwhelming, especially children and animals, that I just don't want to go on living anymore. BUT, the old Gemini switch goes off when I least expect it, and there are times that I JUST DON'T GIVE A SHIT. 
that is beautiful. you're gonna make me all emotional. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

[Edited 2/8/05 15:47pm] you're not alone. more than a few times i've been told i'm "thin-skinned" but hey if that makes me more sensitive to the world then so be it. i consider my self more aware, amongst others who are like this too. no, it is not just you...i have those moments most days actually. there's usually something that sets me off either on tv or in the real world which can either get me down or make me feel "emotional". there, there, Satan.... sadly, the thin-skinned thing has been used against me, never before this site, but there ya go... in the long run, what that person said didn't matter for shit.

It's just something I need to do. That's exactly what I do sometimes. When I was visiting Portland, OR last year, I gave a black homeless guy $20, simply because I felt sorry for him. A lot of money in some peoples' eyes to just give away, but to me I felt he needed it more than I. | |

There is no shame in feeling empathy. It is what makes us human. There should be more empathy in the world. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

I don't see their existence as pain..
It is opportunity for one to look inside oneself, and appreciate what we have. And what they have to offer. . [Edited 2/10/05 11:29am] ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
