~Common Sense Ain't So Common~

The level of stress that is currently residing in my existence is at a very uncomfortable high right now, and what is even more frustrating, is that the hits are coming at a rapid pace. My patience is gone, my tolerance is non-existent, and I am completely out of answers.

I am truly fed up with those that whine, and whine, and don't have one little clue as to how fortunate they really are. Problems are a major thorn to those that have them, but what specifically is a "problem"? Do you have a job? Does the job give you daily stress and strife, physical exhaustion, pain, anguish and anxiety? Do you run yourself to the point of exhaustion everyday, for minimal pay, all the while being talked to in a rude and condescending manner? Are your bills behind, with no clear answer as to how you can catch up? Are you currently suffering from an illness, with dyer outcome, pain, disability, discomfort? Did the love of your life hurt you, leave, lie, cheat, destroy your life, leaving you behind, severely wounded? Are you alone?

Most do not know how to stop and truly appreciate what it is that they have. So many spend countless hours and days mourning over what they think they are missing out on. Always have to keep up with the Jones's....have the latest gadgets, best labels, etc.

Do you have someone in your life that tells you they love you? Or are you in the opposite corner, letting another human being make you feel like you are unworthy, and you are foolishly accepting this, and then doing absolutely nothing to save yourself?????

Anger is my constant companion lately, and I really, really don't like it. I find that more and more frustrations with people, and their total lack of motivation for life, and to be better, is driving me mad. I feel like I am pulling myself back, and deliberately avoiding most, simply due to the fact that they are wasting their lives, sitting there accepting that this is the best it will ever be, and not caring enough to change it. I don't want to be them.....I don't want to be one of those. I have always felt driven, always worked, always looked to better, to try harder, to accomplish. I feel like right at this moment, I am stuck, in a little boat, in a very stagnant pond... no waves, no clear stream to pull me through. Some one please pinch me and wake me up....
