Better not let himself be bullied.
What if we were just some other person's dream?
And I don't mean there's us in a normally waking state that is dreaming itself, but what if we were some completely random other person's dream?
And then we'd know that nothing could ever matter, because the moment that that person wakes up, we're gone.

Best piece of advice never taken. If he went fishing, he would still be alive today. So when someone tells you to quit and go fishing, you should take him very seriously. 24 hours later , since of that sentence , he was gone.
I made every single mistake that was available to be made. I don't know how to get myself out of this. I guess I'll see what happens. This stubborn hope, though, that.... perhaps.... things will turn out alright after all. I've existed on nothing but hope for years.

Feeling so facking tired today. I know why, it's cause I stayed up until 1AM last night. I am paying for it today.
And I have to go for my walk later. I've missed a lot of runs/walks lately due to both the 2-week long arctic blast bs we've had lately, and not being home, and because it's the holidays and I've been feasting, I put on 4 pounds between this month and last.
But, I'm still bushed. I guess I have to try to go to bed earlier tonight to make up the difference.
Sleep debt is definitely real.
Also, being tired makes me crankier than usual. So that's another point in favor of regular hours. I'm propping myself up with coffee as we speak.

I was thinking about the phrase "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps," and the attitude that goes with it. These were the first two youtube videos on the subject
I think it just boils down to a person's temperament. There's a story originating from India, I can't find the source at the moment, but it goes something like this.
Two gods were chatting it up with one another, when one of them paused and suddenly departed in haste, "I have to go, some one has called upon me for help." Within about less than a moment, the god suddenly returned; the other god said, "that was fast." The other god replied, "He helped himself, I wasn't needed after all."
Self reliance I think, is important to learn, can be difficult to learn, and sometimes is unavoidable. And, perhaps some things, no one but our self can do for us. Yet, and perhaps I'm wrong, I think this subject has a bit of a particle/wave duality to it. Perhaps sometimes, with some things, we couldn't have done without some form of external help.
I think it's a bit of both, to varying degrees, at different times. Probably the best of both worlds, would be a strong character and attitude of self-reliance, coupled with a "not afraid to ask for directions" attitude. heh..
I think it's odd as well.. Sometimes a strong person's spirit can be broken. And other times, perhaps, some one can find strength of spirit within them, they didn't know or think was there.

Self-reliance might be good to learn, but I think a person needs to have a sufficient base of strength to do that in the first place.
Some people start with a much higher base of strength, and therefore have a much easier time helping themselves. Others, need help building that base in the first place, before they can start getting going on their own.

You got to me before I could nm... heh
It's something to ponder, yeah..
I'm glad you didn't "NM" - you made some good points.
I didn't mean what I said as an attack on you or your points at all - I do think self-reliance is good. Preferred even, if you can. It's good to be free and not be forced to rely on others but in control of your own life. It's just that a lot of people need help getting there.
