[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 247731, member: 1991"] What bugs me - the people who say, "You are so brave." To me, bravery is having the choice to run into a burning building to rescue a cat. If you have no choice, it's not bravery. It's just endurance. And although I am glad to hve my stoic endurance noted, I am no more special than anyone else. There is no excuse for having your feet knocked out from under you, and not getting up out of the dirt to keep on going afterwards. I also hate the comments of, "There's nothing wrong with him that a good smack wouldn't fix." Or "pull yourself together. Snap out of it." and similar, generally from people whose problem is that they don't WANT to undertand, they would reather deny YOU the right to have adversity. It's THEIR problem but they want to make it all about me, purely because of the lack of backbone and compassion in themselves. Marg [/QUOTE]
