I'm not looking for pity, it helps sometimes to write your thoughts down and share them with a friend, right now this forum is the only friend I have. Ok so I'm in the best position financially I've ever been in, within reason I can have anything I want, no bills crushing me, food anytime I want, shelter and clothing provided all this with no effort on my part at all. That's the problem for me for the last couple years since retirement I've lived on the money my wife has which has put me emotionally, spiritually and physically in the worst condition of my life. Seems that everything I need to do to fix the problems requires motivation and discipline, easy when your young and hungry much harder when you're old, fat and kept in a nice cage, metaphorically speaking. I need to lose weight to fix my knees but the food is plentiful and tasty, I need to get off my ass and work in my storage unit but the couch is comfortable and air conditioning. I know I sound like a fool complaining when so many people in the world are suffering and I've spent my time at the bottom of the barrel with 60 and 80 hr weeks trying to keep up with the needs of a wife and daughter but in a way that was easier I didn't have a choice I had to make it work because nobody else was going to pay my bills or feed my family. Maybe I'm just a fool who can't be happy no matter what, but how can life be harder when you're not suffering? Hard times make hard men, easy times make weak men, weak men make hard times. Careful what you wish for gentlemen sometimes its the worst thing for you.
