hug!! :) i know many people use that expression "This too shall pass", but i really don't understand it.
it's probably not meant in this way, but the reality is, that in the context of many of our elderly caring troubles, it WILL NOT pass, until they die.
so by saying "this too shall pass", it means, "it will pass when they die." (and some people, who are so very burned out, feel of course a bit guilty to want the whole thing to be over soon).
anyway, of course, that expression isn't meant to mean that... but that's the reality.
as for "this too shall pass" for any other problem/tragedy one is going through... well, yes, eventually bad things pass/go away...
but in the context of helping our elderly parents, elderly LOs, we'll continue having problems.
i personally don't like the expression. but it's just me. i understand that of course, it's just meant in the sense of "this specific problem/bad situation, will pass and i don't mean as soon as your LO dies."
Free yourself, from debating with those who do not deserve your respect. Resign yourself to the realistically best outcome you're going to have with them, then remove them from any further consideration beyond what's absolutely necessary
The original question that I posted was: "Can you post something positive in 25 words or less?" It was posted under "Questions".
The Admin changed the topic to "Discussions", but changed it back to "Questions" when it put the responses out of order, causing comments to not make sense. The Admins comments correcting that have now been deleted.
The topic has now been changed back to "Discussions". The title has been changed to: "Can you get out a positive thought in 25 words or less?"
"It isn't the ups and downs that make life difficult; it's the jerks."
"Ignore people who are sh*tty."
"Like on a conveyer belt, there will be a never ending supply of jerks that come into your life. Whether you stop the belt to dance with any one of them is up to you."
really nice to read/see all of you! :) i've been gone a while. indeed, i'll go back to disappearing a bit from the internet. hugs!! :) sending lots of warm thoughts!!
positive thought in 25 words or less? here:
"Every woman's dream is that a man will take her in his arms, throw her into bed...and clean the whole house while she sleeps."
hug!! :)
