are you happy?
I am miserable, angry and bitter. My soul died somewhere along the way, and my heart is black. God, in his infinite sense of irony, has given me the unquenchable desire to play chess with a bare minimal degree of natural talent for the game. I have chronic health conditions, and if I get 20 more years, I'll be lucky. However I don't have enough money to pay for a funeral, so my girlfriend will probably have to drag my dead body to an open field, pour kerosene on me, and light a match.
Other than that I'm just great.
...my response, and not anything to begin a debate, but rather help this guy overcome what absolutely don't belong to him.
For about five years I was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism, in such a severe form that my body was drawn out of shape. When able to be around, I walked with the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical, recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 615would have to be an operation which would include the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There was also another physician who, knowing of the case, examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart trouble.
After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science, but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I decided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took Science and Health and applied its teachings as best I could. In three days the trouble completely left me and there has never been the slightest return. My health has been good ever since, and I am at present in perfect physical health. I have been benefited in every way by Christian Science, physically, mentally, and spiritually, and would not be without my understanding of it for anything. — Mrs. E. A. K., Billings, Mont.
