Food for Thoughts: today I will stop wearing myself out rehashing the past and embrace the Now!

Hello to all!
I just wanted to give you all my excellent statement for the past grudges against deaf people. I wanted you to ask yourself some questions, " Are we having difficulty in letting go of old hurts from the past grudges? Do we constantly bring up old wounds, injuries and insults suffered long ago? When we disagree with someone on certain subjects, do we have to badger them until the day they finally agree with us? Do we? Are we getting grounchy, peevish and nagging until we get our way?
If so, we would do ourselves a favor by freely letting go of these resentments and character defects. Otherwise they will eat away at us until we have no room left for wonderful positive thoughts. Making a list of everyone we resent or cannot control and then mentally forgiving them is a therapeutic exercise. Accepting that we cannot always have our way opens us up to new experiences. We need to learn respect by taking the time to listen to someone else's viewpoints. Recovery helps us to outgrow the childish need to control everything. When we loosen our grip and relax, we free ourselves to really enjoy life while we can! In fact it will helps!
Take care in peace!

  1. Pretty good description of apathy, but too many words... :) Wouldn't deaf.read fold ? If you want less aggrevations and more social input, then facebook or twitter would do that, or you could set up a blog/site and prevent it all happening in your area....

    I think deaf.read a a very 'political' in the deaf sense aggregate, what else is there to read but debates on that ?

    Contrary to popular belief this is not the only place where deaf exist... or the only places we go to get a break.... Personally I am involved in the hearing area as well as here, we do have a life outside it. Adversity is the spur, you must expect that isn't plain sailing... One man's gripe, is another man's pain in the bum....

    When I log off here, I'll go for a walk with the family, have a drink, enjoy the sunshine, and talk with friends or family, deaf issues then cease to exist, you have to have a break from it, or it drives you nuts.... or you become onsessional about it, there is a time and a place.

    We can't be like Carl Schroeder, and make it our religion too !
