However, that doesn't always succeed in stopping me from doing what I can. If nothing else, it gives me a teeny-tiny sense of control.KickinAssTakingNameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581542028842382505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575874316801383586.post-32641960539221354562011-07-04T16:44:28.142-03:002011-07-04T16:44:28.142-03:00Hi! again, Camille...

It is much appreciated.<br /><br />I shared some info about me in order to explain a little about my thoughts regarding Western Culture and and to give an example. Please don't worry about me. I didn't say it to get pity. I do feel shame but it is not debilitating and I could not feel otherwise even if I tried. That's just the way it is. I just don't feel proud of the fact that I can't get a job. Anyway, that is not what is important. This blog post is about wanting to talk about Western Culture and its problems and I want to change it if I can.<br /><br />As for my personal life, what's done is done. It's made me who I am and I survive because I want to survive. If I didn't want to survive I would have stuck a knife in myself seppuku style years ago when the pain of my struggle was much greater. I tell you now only as an example. No other reason.<br /><br />But anyway you have an interesting mind and I'm glad you visit my blog and we can share some interests.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />CamilleS.

Camille...
Another post that give your readers...Hi! Camille...<br />Another post that give your readers, <i>"food for thought"</i>...I must admit that I agree with quite a few Of author Bruce K. Alexander's thoughts...with that being said, there is one thing I do [I'm not going to express how you should feel,think, or what you should do...]<br /><br />I know is that I can't escape [my] problems with the use Of any addictions what so ever...I feels that any form Of addiction(s) just compound the problem and can send a person in a downward-spiral.<br /><br />[Believe me I'm not being judgmental or even a goody-two shoes type-person, but I need a clear head when I have to deal with the darkness in my life...When I speak Of addiction(s) I'm talking about drugs or alcohol chemicals that will affect me from thinking clearly.] <br /><br /><i>"Are the above circumstances a cause for despair? Sure they are. Are they my fault? Maybe, maybe not. Can I change any of it? I try, but I don't believe so. How do I cope?<br />I embrace darkness. I have let it take me. It seems no one else will."</i><br /><br />I try not to embrace darkness too much even though I know that our lives consist Of both <i>"light"</i> and <i>"dark"</i> too...I guess that I'm a glass is half-full more so than the glass is half-empty type person.<br /><br /><i>"But if I am to survive I have to imagine there is at least one thing I could do - I would ask that you think about the relationship between the social and economic society we live in and do what you can to reveal the inadequacies and inefficiencies. We have to do something about reducing the social-economic divide rather than widening it..."</i> <br /><br />I too like your show Of optimism and your conclusion to the causes Of the problem in this world.<br /><b>Cont...</b>ratatouille's archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369967577590947967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575874316801383586.post-31791178599881346312011-07-03T08:59:36.418-03:002011-07-03T08:59:36.418-03:00Thank you and just so you know, I'm not under ...Thank you and just so you know, I'm not under any illusions that things could change in my lifetime, at least not in a big way, but for future generations things have to get better or ... yes, your darkest imaginings (and mine) will occur, things have to get started now. I can't live the rest of my life and just do nothing.<br />Ha ha ha... but it does seem absurd to think that anything could pull us out of our atrocious state though. I'm with you on that one. ;)S.

I'm of the view that this big broken machine we're all a part of has gotten way to large and has fallen into such an atrocious state of neglect and disrepair that even if A LOT of us all came together somehow as a single mind and focused our collective energy into a positive force for change it would still be way too little way too late.<br /><br />Sorry to be a big bitter ball of negativity but this is the view I keep coming back to. It's not very encouraging but, then again, neither is life.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765694914848450608noreply@blogger.com
