Hi
@volterra -- If you look carefully at
@momus's post, she
twice emphasized
"for me". I got no impression she was trying to force her attitudes or perspectives on anyone else. She talked about what worked
"for her", and I appreciated her sharing her thoughts, which I could very much relate to.
There's a saying we should have compassion for all, because everybody carries their own burden. It seems carrying a burden is a universal human experience. It depends on each of us to meet our challenges the best way we can. I think one of the most important things we can do, even during times of loss, is cultivate an attitude of gratitude for what we still have, which has been especially helpful
for me.
Everybody's combination of challenges are different, such as in
@Theezy's case, being unable to go for a walk (amongst so many other things he's dealing with). But I'll bet he's been able to find at least one (or a few things) he can do that helps him surmount his current difficulties that others cannot do--if only on a temporary basis.
Perhaps he can read, whereas many on this forum find tinnitus too intrusive to read anymore. Perhaps he can listen to music at low volume, whereas many on this forum can no longer do that. Perhaps he can go to places in nature that can give him a bit of a respite from his enormous challenges.
I guess the point I'm trying to make (and perhaps
@momus as well), is that no matter how difficult things may become, there's almost always things we can do that help make (or keep) life meaningful.
@momus's post was filled with her sharing things that gives her life meaning, things she's grateful for, and a philosophy (spirituality) she's incorporated in her life to live by. I thought it was great.
