Thats very played out now, but still just as cold hearted as ever.
I know what it is like to be on the recieving end of those comments and I am thinking you are trying to accomplish 1 of 2 things with that comment. Either you are trying to be humorous, or you are trying to be an asshole. Either way you certainly managed to accomplish one of those tasks. Yay you!
Maybe this guys prob's are not as bad as that kid who lives in the box down the street, or that guy sleeping outside in the winter, but that fact is that these are still his problems and he still has to deal with them.
What he is saying is that he just doesn't know how to deal and apparantly he feels they are bad enough to come out and ask for support in dealing with them properly.
I wish more people were honest like this and looked for help when confused in life, instead of not getting the help they need and continueing on a un-happy life.
You guys are right, instead of him thinking about what is all wrong in his life, he should be thinking about what is
right in his life. That I agree with.
But maybe he needs help in learning just how exactly to do that.
It is not as easy as snapping you fingers, it is not as easy as most of you suppose. Life is hard, life is tough, life is confusing, and sometimes you need help.
Give the guy and ear, give the guy a shoulder to lean on, give him understanding, and give him advice. Don't give him
STUPID advice like "going down the road, not across the street". if you are not willing to give him that then atleast give him the respect of not being such a blatent asshole to a guy who obviously wants/needs help.
That's like kicking him when he is allready down.
Low... so low.
