I agree that your outlook on life has a lot to do with the three H's --- Happiness, Harmony and Health. When life hands you lemons...make lemonade!!!

I might as well die. They have worked very hard to improve my view on life--I am a para--they wanted to get me into the State vocational rehab program and my attitude was what, learn a new profession at 64? Old dogs and new tricks, right? Well I am currently learning to be a computer architect and am being trained on the auto cad system to draw house plans. I love it! I seem to be a natural at it and am able to turn out a full set of drawings (8 pages) in about a week. I still have much to learn but it just goes to show that even when you think you are a drag on society you may yet find a way to be a useful contributor.

I know it is wrong, but if Nietzshe said it, it must have been thought many times before. Just having a bad day, I'll be more up tomorrow. "The invalid is a parasite on society. In a certain state it is indecent to go on living. To vegetate on in cowardly dependence on physicians and medicaments after the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost ought to entail the profound contempt of society." -Friedrich Nietzsche - Roger in Kennewick, WA
