There's a sort of...self worth in western culture attributed to your job or income which on one hand I find bullshit because the majority of these jobs don't help society as a whole but on the other hand if you don't do anything it's hard to sort of feel like you're making the most of your life.

Well said.

Speaking from the INSDIE like that to people will touch them regardless though
And at least bring notice to this OUTSIDE fashion show pretending to be the goal.

Making the most of your life is an interesting one.
Again....who's keeping score so to speak? you?

What or who are you comparing "your life" to?
I guess what I'm trying to say
Is you may mean more than you could ever see yourself worth....
Through the eyes of others it's just yourself seeing & understanding that on the INSIDE
Then the wars in your mind will cease and that peace will be projected on the OUTSIDE
Then you will be in no doubt about "self-worth" both on the inside & out.

I think you may be confusing attribution to a lost cause with apathy for a righteous one.
You thinking you're not doing anything - but nothing (lol) could be further from the truth.

It's just measured by something most fail to understand
And isn't governed by status.

Yep, that's the thing about life...there's no guideline or manual on how to live. There's no "right" way to live, the only way to live is to breathe. This whole "you need to get a house and get a job and do this and do that" It's not the rules on how to live, that's not what being a human is about to me.

I'm guilty of envy and jealousy, I see people and say to myself "look at them (on the outside - their material possessions) I wish I was them they've got it made" but then I stop and think...I see how they are on the outside, but what I don't know is their story and what they had to go through on their path to get to the point where we are now.

Sometimes it's just hard to put in to practice what you know, but that's a human flaw I guess. We all stray at some point but strength comes from the ability to get back on to the path.

That's a good point about doing nothing, while I'm doing "nothing" in the sense of "working" my mind and my perception has changed dramatically over the last 12 months and every day it continues to change so I'm not really doing "nothing."

Anything easily obtained is unrewarding. The hard struggles we manage and overcome make are rewarding.

You guys have made some excellent points.

For me, I believe that working hard has been a major part of my personal development and growth. Not only that, but the decisions I've made in order to be the person who I am today.

Ben's right. Maintaining a positive mindset is the key to happiness and a good life.

Don't complain. Always be thankful for what you have. Be content.

longbongcilvaringz mother is a saint.

Women are naturally inferior including but not limited to your mother that had a better job than your bum of a father. Since we're guessing about each others families, I'm guessing she spent very little time at home nurturing you and thats why you're such an unpleasant and cold person.

^lol why did u post that here?

I just wanted to respond to a neg rep that he gave me. Hes really egocentric and unpleasant and now on the ignore list.

Why does that pompous clown longbong even still post here

Well I just lost my job Tuesday. So it seems like things just keep getting worse for me. I had only been with the job for 3 months and I was let go because the manager of the building wasn't satisfied with my work. Now I'm gonna have to get unemployment money because I don't have a job. So when I file my weekly claim for unemployment money this Sunday, I'm gonna let them know I don't have a job. Hopefully I can get some unemployment money tomorrow because I filed a weekly claim this past Monday and I finally gave them 2 job contacts. I haven't given them that since September. I also applied for low income housing today. So i'll see what happens with that because I don't wanna be in a situation like my parents die unexpectedly soon and I have no place to live.

Damn that sucks dude, I hear ya I still haven't found a job yet it's mad depressing being broke and unemployed.

I thought you said you were getting welfare money? If you are getting that, at least you're getting government money because it's better to have that than have no money. I hope I get approved for welfare money. It pisses me off to hear employed people complain about unemployed people getting welfare money and food stamps as if unemployed people like living in a bad neighborhood and they like getting welfare money instead of wanting a job. There's some unemployed people who don't mind getting welfare money and food stamps because they don't wanna work but most unemployed people want a job. Most unemployed people don't wanna live on government money most of their life.

Yeah I get welfare but it's fuck all really and technically it's below the poverty line. I'm not complaining because it's better than nothing but it's not much better than nothing when you gotta pay bills and food shopping and petrol for the car because I have to still go and do shit to earn my welfare money.

It's not really about the momdy but rather the doing nothing with your life just staying home applying for jobs all day waiting by the phone and shit.

So you're saying that for you to keep getting welfare money, you gotta continue to apply for jobs? Because if you don't do that, your welfare money will get cut off? There's poor blacks and some whites that get welfare money and they've gotten it for years and haven't looked for a job. I doubt it if their welfare money is gonna get cut off if they don't look for a job and they've also been living in the projects for years and will probably die there. It's sad that so many poor unemployed blacks and some whites that live like that and die like that and will never have a good life.

Some people like living in the projects and don't want to leave. Look at skampoe.

Yeah I have to do that too, I have to look for work and write down the details like position title, company name, contact number, how I contacted and a date. Usually we have to write down 10 a fortnight and come in every 6-10 weeks or something.

But we also actually have to go and do work or study. Companies, usually charitable stuff, organise a program where we can go in and do work, gain skills, get a current reference so there's something recent on your resume. The one I'm doing now is a disaster relief program and we sort and organise things to send overseas to disaster zones like blankets, sleeping bags, toiletries and stuff like that. We've been busy doing stuff to send to Africa because of Africa It's cool.

Some of the programs are a waste of time, I'm doing a study course for a month because the disaster relief guy he's on holidays so they put me here and we literally do nothing all day it's so fucking boring we learn nothing just watch YouTube. I did it once before when I first started I changed to disaster relief and it's fucked lol

If I don't hand in my forms or turn up to work they'll cut me off or breach me and take out a certain amount of my pay then a few breaches you can get cut off for 8 weeks. They're going to breach me because I had Tuesday off and I have no evidence like a doctors certificate but I don't care.
