When will you have a little pity for every soft thing that walks thorough the world, yourself included?
— Mary Oliver, from "Pen and Paper And a Breath of Air" in Blue Pastures (Ecco, November 10, 1995)

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many - yours not least."
-- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Ring, The Fellowship of the Ring --

She pitied men always as if they lacked something—women never, as if they had something.

"I confess to strange feelings regarding his...self that was the clockmaker," said Unity. "Sometimes, when he smiled, he was normal. I wanted to help him, because he seemed so closed in and sad."
"You don't have to confess to things like that," Susan snapped. "How do you even know the word romantic, anyway?" she added.
"I found some books of poetry." Unity actually looked embarrassed.
"Really? I've never trusted it," said Susan. [...]
"I found it most curious. How can words on a page have a power like that? There is no doubt that being human is incredibly difficult and cannot be mastered in one lifetime," said Unity sadly.
Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

I thought about all the people I knew who spent many of their waking hours feeling sorry for themselves. How useful it would be to put a daily limit on self-pity. Just a few tearful minutes, then on with the day.
Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch Albom

Isn’t it something wrong to lust after a fictional man while having a husband to care and love already?
Most women are so consumed in love and monogamy that they would just go for the real deal only rather than also pine over a made-up character in a video game who they don’t know personally. Also, isn’t it an unfaithful, unloyal sin and not upholding righteous family values at all?
My answer: No, it isn´t. I´m usually into characters that are very similar to my husband (physically as well as personality-wise), and when I write I insert a lot of my real life dynamic with my husband. Maybe that´s even why the characters are my favorite characters in the first place. It´s a way of inserting myself in an exciting fantasy world with my husband and share the excitement with others. I get even more lost in my husband through it. Mind your own business. People who are happy do not have to put their nose where it does not belong. My husband is aware of everything I consume and I even write a lot with his input. He finds it very endearing that I see him in my favorite characters. I´m happily married, have wonderful children, and am a nerd - I think people who have no backbone to show their face when questioning people´s morals are the real tragedy. When I write sexual content, I write about characters that are already married. When I write, I uphold dignity. Sexuality is always tastefully written when I go about it, and I make it my business to have a moral underlining in my writings. Sexuality is part of life and something wonderful - something that should be shared in the right mindset. Now, why are you writing multiple people about this issue? Don´t you have a life?

How unfair, this life. My wounds are so much deeper than yours. The arrogance of victimhood. Self-pity. Suffocating.

Need to accept myself~~
I got to accept and realize that my vision is worse than the average person....... I think I'm in denial about it despite being legally blind my entire life for the most part.
I like listening to birds outside sometimes and look and try to find them. An older guy that I'm living next to can see the birds and tried to point them out to me one time, and all I saw was tree.
I'm always reminded that my vision is very bad and I get sad about it for a while before I forget again.
My right eye sees nothing; my left is 20/200, or what you can see at 200 feet, I can only see at 20 or less feet.
I shouldn't forget; and I shouldn't let that prevent me from doing things. Especially using accessibility aids.
I'm always worried that someone might think lesser of me if they knew I have a disability; or pity me for it if they saw me using an aid.
It's a stupid irrational fear that might be tied to anxiety, but I'm not exactly sure.
I should be proud of the sight that I have tho. I can still: watch tv, play video games, read, watch birds if they're close enough, see my brothers cat, and many other things. Some things are just harder because of my problem and I lack depth perception.
I can still see well enough to successfully 1CC Phantasmagoria of Dimentional Dream, which I'm very proud of cause the ai cheats so hard.
I can't see super small text without a magnifier, or not at all. I'm always amazed that people can see things from greater distance than me, making me sad that my vision sucks.
But I should be glad I have vision at all tho given what happened for me to lose it to begin with.
I was born 4 months premature because mom sneezed; technically never born, just removed, lol. Was in the hospital and on oxygen for many months and they only gave me a 5% chance of living. The nurses or someone had turned the oxygen up too high and it detached my retinas. The left retina was attached again, and the right one couldn't be saved and is nothing but scar tissue at this point.
My left retina is luckily stable still~~!!
Is it anxiety? the fact that I'm worried people would pity me for using something that's helpful? Stubbornness?
I need to accept it and not forget how bad my vision is. To use aids if necessary and stop worrying about how other people precieve me. If they pity me for having bad vision that's their problem not mine. It is annoying however.
I can still do stuff it just takes a different way to do it. But there are some things that I can't and it makes me sad sometimes.
