What do you when your life sucks and you’re too poor and  physically sick and weak to do anything about it?
I feel so stuck. Â And I feel like what the hell is the point in my living? Â I wish I was suicidal so I could actually do the damn deed, but I’m not suicidal as much as I’m sick, tired, hate my life, and don’t forsee it changing for the better. Â I have health issues so it’s not like my life can easily get better like other people can, so please no “everything will get better” schpeel.
Sigh.

It is a damn shame that the poor and people who live on or below the poverty always seem to suffer more becuase they do not have the resources to help themselves.
Its a damn shame in this day in age, especially in developed countries that could provide social services, if your poor and sick your basically shit out of luck. Even though if your quality of life could improve in many aspects if you had access to universal resources, many people will reject the idea of these resources because there pitiful excuse is “who is going to pay for it?”. People never see its a duty to serve their fellow humans and compromise for the advancement of a society.
I understand the poor may contribute less then those of more fortune, but when should a dollar become a choice over a human life?
Im sorry I just needed to rant a bit. Im a big supporter of universal healthcare systems, access to quality education and human rights.
People can bash me all they want, call me a socialists, communist, but I never knew its so wrong to be a humanitarian and genuinely care for society as a whole.
As for you Bah, im very sorry your in a situation that doesnt allow you to seek treatment for you health conditions. I really sympathize with you, and I know how much a role health has over the quality of life you have. I truly wish this was not you situation. I really hope you can keep strong and fight even in the face of adversity and never succumb to the conteplation of life and death.
Please take care.
“Socialist” is just a silly term the republicans throw out to not have to pay for healthcare for people. Having universal healthcare isn’t “socialist”. Canada and the UK and Switzerland all have universal healthcare. Are they socialist societies? Would anyone call the UK socialist? No.
Anyway, healthcare aside, thanks for listening Koji. I just feel so screwed. Like between a rock and a cliff.
I know universal healthcare is not socialist, but you know people who fear the idea of it will ignorantly call it a socialists idea.
I hope one day this society can advance away from the dollar and move towards whats more progressive and beneficial for the human society as a whole.
But once again Bah, im very sorry. I wish I can pull you out of that uncomfortable spot between that rock and cliff and put you on top of the mountain. 🙂
I tend to…moderate what I do on a daily basis. Currently I am dealing with an injury that prevents me from actually walking, distressing as it is, I still attempt to walk so I don’t forget how to. It’s never been about the money for me, I get enough from the military to get by, but even if I won Lotto I’d still be as miserable. When it comes down to it, we have to use our own two arms to pull ourselves out of this mess.
I’m that suicidal, yet I’m still here. Daily I resist the urge to decorate my room with my own gray matter. So even if you were so suicidal, I think you’d just end up feeling worse. And that’s something we don’t need, right?
