Great thread, ResidentSadist! I'm thankful you started it . .. . I'm thankful for everything in the universe, good, bad, & indifferent . .. . . & I'm thankful for my rich full life & all the many wonderful friends & family & lovers & so on & so forth, even when they annoy the heck out of me. I'm thankful I can be annoyed. I'm grateful for all that I feel, cuz feelings are wonderful, even when they suck horribly. Life's continuous rollercoaster of emotion, it would be so boring without . .. . I'm thankful for all the fucked up, icky, horrible stuff cuz resisting & resenting it hasn't gotten me anything but disgruntled . . . . . . I'm thankful for all the people I don't like & not just cuz it helps me appreciate the ones I like so much more . . . . . . I like this quote, it sorta says something important about these ideas in a way that has particularly amusing implications for a bunch o' kinksters: To develop patience, you need someone who willfully hurts you. Such people give us real opportunities to practice tolerance. They test our inner strength in a way that even our guru cannot. Basically, patience protects us from being discouraged. - the Dalai Lama - Since everyone else does all the happy-happy-joy-joy stuff, I figure I'll cover some of the other bases, the less-obvious ones . . . . .
