Status: offline 		OK, this is just a random post about nothing in particular. I was driving home from the grocery store and it suddenly occurred to me.

I'm 44 years old. I've been with the same woman for going on 15 years now. I have two sons, both grown, one in college, the other thinking about it. I have two used cars, a modest house, and a hefty 401k. In short, it is the very picture of middle-class america (well, except for the fact that I actually planned for retirement *laughs*). And for all that

This is, hands down, the best time of my life!!

OK, I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread on masters who don't return their sub's phone calls.

lol reminds me of a story.  I give my time to habitat and this one retired couple that I meet there had a rig with I'm guessing about $ 15,000 worth of tools for building houses. I was like you made a impression on me spending your time helping others.  They replied life has been good to us.  So we "have" to give back.   I've had the chance to meet lots of folks that give up a week of vacation to build houses to help others.  It is a honor to work with them. 

What Cat said reach out and do for "strangers"

Why on earth the sarcasm?  Is there something you find irritating about someone being happy with their life?

Seems to me that the world would be better off if we all cheered when someone reaches their goals, rather than treating success as an anathema.  For that matter, why assume that the OP might not already be helping his "fellow man"?  How about the fact that he's not being a burden to society?  Do you think that the "low masses" automatically ask, "What's in it for me?"

He contributes in a positive and wonderful way to these forums helping to bring about a sense of peace and serenity to a great many people who would otherwise be fraught with self-doubt and frustration.

What do you do?

He amuses me.

That's a positive.

For me, at least.

(Rock on, leadership. The forums would suck without ya)

To be blunt the OP came across as bragging.  Cats point that I took to heart was big fucking deal.  The other point she made was get off your ass and show others how to make thier life easier.  Mother Threasa didn't have a dime and look at her body of work.  As I've told my kids that I put thru collage.  It ain't about money.

I have the lucky sperm theory.  I was born in the US to upper middle class parents who loved me.  I had nothing to do with that.  I could have been born in say vietnam to pesant farmers striff with civil war that abused me.  So don't brag about how great you think you are cuz yer not.

Considering the bitter excrement you drop into the forums, I think you are the last one to be able to talk shit about someone else.

Having spent the morning at leaderships house using his expensive camera and lighting equipment as well as his time and expertise to take photos for my website, he is a pretty generous person in my view. 

Most importantly, it wasn't bragging, his point was that DESPITE his good fortune most of his life, it wasn't money or status that has provided him with his greatest happiness, it is playing with WIIWD that has opened him up to more happiness than he ever expected.  Not to put words in his mouth but I think in some ways it was an awkward "thank you" to those who contribute positive things to this forum.

I some regards I simply get it, that many people have not felt compelled to fit into the norm of what you have.  The whole 2.5 kids, a house, a wife, a couple of cars, and being in the middle class.  I understand that some people have avoided this type of life like the plauge.

However, some of us have gone through painful things, such a divorces and other series of events.  Some of us have been there were you are at, even above it, and have lost it all or walked away from it all.

Personally, I've been up/down a ladder of life.  From having not much of anything, to having it all, then not having it all.   In fact a couple of times this has occured in my life. 

I can not speak for everybody on here, however some of us, have in fact wanted to have the stability that you managed to achieve.  However, it's not always been so easy in our grasp.   Perhaps poor choice of relationship partners, time to pack it in on all the material bullshit and that kind of stability for the sake of our own mental sanity.

In many regards your posting can be taken as a sort of dig or rub it in your face type of posting.

Beware of hidden pain that you might have provoked with a post such as this.  For instance I have twin daughters that I'm not an everyday father too.  Was not married to their mother, and well.   It's something that I'm not totally happy, proud about and geee...  I'm sorry dude, not all of us have had the Leave it Beaver life, with June the wife, two kids, and everything else along with it.   Some of us had to give up houses and home in the middle of seperations/divorces.  Have had our dreams broken into 10,000 little pieces...

Your post is almost a sort of insult to injury, or risks being taken as such to some of us.  I just thought I'd share a little insight as to how your posting can be taken.

I don't believe it was your intent for your posting to be taken in this fashion...  because some people swear off what you have as being the so called conventional life.  I have known people in my life that have vowed to never fall into the norms and make what you have as part of their aspirations.   Some of us though, these things are broken painful dreams...   Your post just serves as painful reminder for some people...
