Right?<BR/><BR/>But we use them to symbolically convey a thought to one another. It's not necessarily ALL suffering... AND it's not necessarily that you're a victim of one thing or another. <BR/><BR/>How about empowerment?

It is just a habit if I happen to use it because I don't truly feel that I am suffering. Like you I have a great life except for a few symptoms.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful weekend,<BR/>TamaraTamara (TC) Stapleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633350990983632539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131937402880667955.post-15127101952679401742008-08-01T16:05:00.000-07:002008-08-01T16:05:00.000-07:00@Mike.

That is normal.Cluelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133271403456164632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131937402880667955.post-11489658895899144142008-08-01T15:45:00.000-07:002008-08-01T15:45:00.000-07:00I fall into this trap, too, but I am trying to cha...I fall into this trap, too, but I am trying to change my language. I may say, "I struggle with" or "I am challenged by" or "I live with" or something like that. There are a lot of ways to put it that are way less victimizing, but it takes consciousness.Wandering Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478039463695542535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131937402880667955.post-60693668250667316812008-08-01T15:05:00.000-07:002008-08-01T15:05:00.000-07:00they are all just lables any way.
