You are failing then... Between multiple combat tours, killing other human beings, seeing close friends die, coming back from a patrol and seeing my bunk destroyed by an RPG, watching IEDs blow up a vehicle 30 meters in front of me, a psychotic mother, a failed marriage, a serious motorcycle accident that left me bed ridden for over 3 months followed by 3 more months of painfull physical therapy, living in third world countries, being homeless and having to deal with neighbors who let their dog shit in my lawn... There is very little you could ever do to "tear me down". Especially Over an internet forum.
But your desire to do so says alot about you. It tells me that you have no life, nothing of significance at least, you're do hate yourself, your lack of accomplishment, you know you're quite clever but you are also quite aware of how little you've done with that strength. Your life is empty and it's sad. So sad, that the greatest pleasure you get is when tearing someone else down so they feel the same emptiness you feel. You hate yourself and you feel unworthy of love so you punish any who would dare get close enough to do so. You are a fragile brittle person... SO afraid that others will break you... so close to that point already... and it's so painfully obvious.
But me? In spite of all of the things I've been through, I LOVE my life... Some mornings I wake up, and I look at where I came from, and all I've done, and I realise that I am beyond blessed, SO undeserving of the amazing life I have to know that I've lived more, lived deeper at the age of 26 than most ever will. My life is beautiful, and if I died today, I will die and have a worthwhile story to tell, having lived a bountifully full life.
Can you say that?
