Victimorthecrime Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 28 is still young for a guy. My free advice for you would be to find some passion in life and go with it. Be it a business venture, something on the internet, artistic pursuit, a physical activity or job like being a craftsman, move to a resort town where girls party and just have fun, etc just do that to the exclusion of all else. If I had known at your age that I would never become a family man that is what I would have done. Just a curiosity question, what's your drink of choice? I am thinking Scotch, maybe beer.

Victimorthecrime Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ah a fine blended Scotch, my hunch was right. Ever try Famous Grouse? Another blended one, very affordable but some guys hate it. I think single malt is a lot of hype and who needs to spend $60 on a bottle?

retsuud Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've never had Famous Grouse, I will have to try it sometime.The only time I've ever had single malt Scotch was in a restaurant at the recommendation of someone...don't even remember what brand it was. I could tell no appreciable difference, but my palate is not as refined as some. I suspect it's simply another form of status symbol to be able to state you only drink single malt whiskey.My absolute favorite liquor in the whole world is absinthe - I literally cannot keep it in the house because I love it so much. There is a mixed drink called a Suissesse made with absinthe and it is pure nectar. I would drink these every day, all day if I could....good tangent we got going here...lolLike the original absinthe? With the hallucinating/trippy effects? I think it's forbidden in my country..

Ba55 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I believe deep in my heart, it's the confidence that came first for the millionaires that were born lower or middle class. Some might've called them "unrealistic," or "dillusional," but I believe that bull-headed attitude that discarded those statements is what set that success in motion for greater successes and triumphs.

Victimorthecrime Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah I here ya BA but if you don't have brains, don't have a skill set, your not going to maintain confidence. Aptitude is the soil confidence in which confidence grows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba55 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 However I've always found people have a brilliant skill set, yet they do not realize said skill set yet. I believe we're all the perfect soil for our own epic journeys, and you should know what my life has consisted of. I still believe every person has great, grand and incomparable potential, but finding the reasons to trudge through the tough times to get the reward at the end is where most give up. I even hope for the people who have done their best to destroy me, I have no bars held on this aspect of life as I've come to understand life. Even a burly man with no intelligence can be the best sewing master in the world, or the greatest master carpenter. I believe we just need to find the niche where each of us belong, and cut out the "white noise" of others nay-saying, disbelief, doubts and fears.

Victimorthecrime Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I agree that we can focus on being the best we can be and the ensuing rewards are always worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resolute Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 although i don't really believe knowing the answer to certain things makes any difference, but here goes:there are generally four types of people:1- those who get somewhere with hard work and patience etc..2- those who get somewhere without much hard work and....3- those who are losers by their own doing (more or less).4- those who are losers not by their own doing (for the most part).number 1 is the opposite of number 3, and number 2, the opposite of 4.anyone who's unfortunate enough to be in the fourth category is screwed, and there's nothing he/she can do about it, period.most people don't know shit about anything, so their reactions/responses to different people from these four categories will vary greatly depending on how stupid, ignorant, or insensitive they are; or the opposite.

Victimorthecrime Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 In any group there is pressure to push out the lowest individual. In any corporation the bottom 10% or so are always on write up and in real danger of losing their job. Even in unions where you can't just fire them so easily, the least favored will be steered toward going out on disability. Is it a hold over from evolution, the runt of the litter gets no teat? Or from a Christian perspective does evil just seek the most vulnerable? From a psychological perspective perhaps picking on the weak is a manifestation of insecurity - "I don't want his weakness to infect the group and spread to me. I don't want to be seen as weak myself via guilt by association". Whatever the cause, the phenomena you point out is real. I have seen it all my life.

Resolute Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 If you are that "lowest individual", a universal fuck-up, nobody likes you, nobody wants to be around you, what do you do with yourself? Many people will say, "you should just kill yourself". Is this the only answer? Are people like this obligated to die?no, they're not.

IrmaJean Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) I don't know, "inferiority" seems like a judgment to me. I don't feel because a person struggles they are inferior in any way, just unique and different. I know I have felt that way myself at times, but I view it as a feeling and not necessarily a fact. Or even if I suck at math, it doesn't make me inferior as a person, I may have other strengths. But then we are comparing ourselves with others...Maybe the best way to balance is accept self as is? I totally understand this is quite challenging.Klingsor, maybe try and not label yourself or attach such judgments as "inferior" or "failure" to your sense of self?So what in the world can I do to change this?How is your self-talk? Are you beating yourself down, being very critical? Maybe start out by being aware of how you are relating to yourself? Edited December 4, 2014 by IrmaJean fixing that quote thing yet again....
