if we're healthy then we're wealthy

I'm in a dicey political situation. Someone I've known for several years has behaved very offensively (though perhaps not surprisingly), and how I deal with it now will probably have significant repercussions for teh guild, in terms of who joins and who doesn't.

It's very hard not to think that some people must not have a lot of real problems, that they have time to create pretend ones.

Every time I notice that I'm having no symptoms, I say "thank you" in my head. I think that's a pretty good way to live and more people should do it. I hope to be able to do it a lot more.

I do think it's good to remember to appreciate it when things are going well in any way. I remember a friend of mine in college one day announcing, "Oh yeah, I've been trying to appreciate every day I don't have my period."


Good luck with the situation.

I appreciate those days too! :P

Ah, but if you have all those created pretend problems, you can spend all your time and energy on them, and not have to deal with your real problems at all.

And water runs uphill, you can fly to the moon under your own power, and you're getting a unicorn pony for Christmas!

Ooh, a unicorn!!

Your icon is... well, I guess the only proper word is "fascinating". :)

Isn't offensiveness pretty much par for WoW?

Sort of, but this was special. He demanded a spot in my raid (my own spot, in fact, as we play the same class) and "challenged" me to prove that anyone else in the raid was more deserving of inclusion than him. It was actually a lot more like fandom nerd rage than gamer nerd rage.

It is indeed. I hope things keep improving for you.
