Do I have problems?

Do I have problems?

Let’s see. I’m healthy, I have a job for now, I have a place to live, I have at least one person I can ask for almost any kind of help.

Again, let’s see. Problems is when you have no job and can’t seem to get one and have on one to encourage you to keep looking because, by God, today, after 2000 days of searching, might be the day a boss comes calling.

Problems are when you find yourself homeless, on the street wondering which is more evil, stealing or begging.

Problems are when you discover you have no Idea what you are going to eat tonight, when you forget that you haven’t eaten for the past 2 days and everyone is asking you why you look like crap but don’t really care. They just want to know so that if it’s contagious, they can take cover.

Problems are when you invest everything, you mind, you body, your soul and most importantly your money into a relationship, a marriage, only to discover 25 years down the line that your husband/wife is a cheat. But that’s not the bad part.

The bad part is when he/she leaves you for the other man/woman. A woman might take her children. The man will leave you with your children to take care of. At least you have them. The other bad part is when you discover that on one of his returns from his adulterous escapades he brought home an infection.

So, problems are when you discover you’ve got Aids and you know for God’s sake that you didn’t go looking for it. It was brought to you by someone you trusted.

Problems are when a man out of nowhere or from your own family rapes you and leaves your traumatized for life and you can’t keep a relationship for more than 2 minutes and guys wonder what the hell is wrong with you.

Problems are when you have friends who have no idea what to suffer is and you must save face by pretending that you are just like them and have lived a marvelous life.

Problems are when you have a relationship in the office, everyone knows about it, but then there’s this one jealous bastard who just doesn’t want you to be happy and sabotages everything you work to build in that relationship.

Problems are when you are trying to tell someone the truth but they won’t listen and just keep interrupting you until the lie you’ve been living suddenly blows up in your face when that someone finally shuts up and asks: “Okay now, tell me the truth”.

Problems are when you are living life because you’ve got oxygen in your lungs, and blood in your veins, not because you’ve the desire to live.
Problems are when you go to church and ask God to give you a sign if he exists, and you miss that sign. So you stop going to church and feel so miserable because you feel that you’ve wronged a God that you don’t even believe exists.
Problems…Hmmm….
Problems is when you life is plagued with misfortune but after a while, you begin to accept it because you think that maybe everyone goes through the same thing. And when you realize that they don’t, well, you start to think that maybe, just maybe, you deserve it.

Problems is when you discover you’ve got Aids, no medication, no friends to encourage or support you, no family to love you and worst of all, the realization, for all the trouble you went to, to get yourself sick, you’ve accomplished nothing substantial on this earth.

Problems are when you’re engaged to be married only to discover that you fiancé is married with 3 children. You try to figure out when he must have started producing children. After all, he’s only 26. Okay.

Problems is when everyone looks at your like you’re a walking corpse but you can’t see it yourself.

Problems are when you don’t listen to anyone, thinking that you know everything, only to realize when it’s much too late that they had a point and had you listened to the person that advised you a second ago, your life would be another story altogether in the next second.

Problems is when you’re born without hands or legs and must depend on people to do for you even the most basic things. Or when you go to war to serve your country and come back with a nervous disease...and you get discharged, not honorably. Just discharged

Problems….Hmm….

So do I have problems? No, no problems whatsoever.
