how do mentally handle it when you see someone more fortunate than you (ie: more money, cooler girlfriend, better looking, sweeter social status, etc)?
2 distinct and common answers:
1. to feel jealous because they are able to experience something that you would like to, but are presently and perhaps permanently unable to. this is especially difficult if you want to experience all life has to offer, as im sure many people do.
2. a more spiritual approach where you think of mankind as one large energy mass. the benefit of an individual somehow makes the whole collective better even though you are unable to share in the glory at the present.
if you have an interesting differing method, please explain.

Shit happens. You have to make your own way. I admit I had it pretty good, but I took that and improved on it. Life is what you make it. I met a guy yesterday 40 years old with severe Ankylosing Spondilitis. He's come to accept his fate.
Doctors these days...
