Odds Are Stacked Against Me

Acknowledged. "There may be some truth to that." However, too many of us are allowing our past dictate our future. Too many of us want to blame others and wallow in self pity. Too many of us want to have others simply accept us as we are, as if it's on them to change their attitudes. Good luck with that. The odds are significantly stacked against a person with that sort of outlook on life, disability or not.

I am thinking the number one thing that society is lacking, is responsibility for one's own actions.

It's up to the individual whether or not they want to attempt to beat the odds. Nothing wrong with acceptance.

So people who try to beat the odds do help each other so we can do better beating the odds.

And people who dont try to beat the odds do help each other so none of them even try to beat the odds.

Its fascinating. Nothing wrong with acceptance of problems that others have solved.

Lovely.
