I feel terrible

A few weeks ago I was in Paris and I saw a homeless man with no arms, they must have been amputated from a crash or war, and I cannot get the picture of him out of my head it makes me so sad that some one would have to live like that. What should I do to get the picture of him out of my head and move on to happier thoughts, His misery is starting to carry on over to me.

please no trolling, spamming, flaming

 

I wouldn't automatically assume that he was involved in any form of accident. He could have just been naturally born like that. That's just how life is though, it's a bitch.

 

Part of life is appreciating the things we have that others aren't privileged to. You can't know the story behind it unless you actually asked him, but I think he's probably tired of telling it seeing as he's out on the streets. He could be a horrible person, you never know. The best way to rid yourself of it is to appreciate your health and come to terms with that not everyone is as lucky as you are.

 

Just remember that, there's so many more people that have much much worse things than just having no arms.

That's what I think when I see people like that.

 

Lifes a bitch, and its not always fair. The best you could really do for anything like that is probably donate to a homeless charity <_<.

Instead of sulking over others misfortune id suggest you make sure you dont fall into any yourself

 

Thanks, but does any one have an imidiate activity thing or something I could do that would be great to get my mind off of this?

 

Try to think of something like ; focus on studying or try to do something that requires a great amount of concentration e.g like work if you have nothing to do then learn. Or do something like forums , online business etc. you get the idea.
JUST DO SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES A GREAT AMOUNT OF FOCUS. IF HE DOESN'T WORK THEN DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER LIKE DONATION.

 

I suggest thinking happy and positive thoughts. If you feel bad, you could donate some money/help these people out. It's what I did to get the deaf woman out of my head.

 

If he hated life so much, he'd kill himself. So clearly he doesn't find life that bad, meaning why bother thinking about him?
