I am happy you're getting better lir.
I cannot understand this bit (bolded) of the post though. The implication is people who can take more get more. I don't think you intended to say that?
Mostly we cope with what life throws at us. You learn to cope with things, you adapt to things. People who get more adapt to take more. I think I mean that.

Our character does influence how we cope with the hand we are dealt.
Look at SingleSue and her determination to do the best for her herself and her children in circumstances that would have destroyed a lesser woman. Then look at how her husband coped.Retail is the only therapy that works0 -

Don't know who that is,:o but I'd say no to fortune: train craches,right place right time things, yes to some other stuff, who we are is how we respond and interact with life/others, which influences what we get for ourselves. But. no, apart from alcohol liver damage, or smoking lung cancer tyope of illness, I think thats ....a trown of the dice (although possibly genetic influences too miht make one more suscetable to not tradionally genetically linked things.
which brings us back to the haris tweed really.
Why is the business in trouble? Its not that their product is not quality, its not that there isn't necessarily a clientele.....but from FC's analysis, the responce of the sellers/makers with the market, is defining/influenceing their outcome.
(edit: since seen wageslave's post and agree with that also.)0 -

I've always said that god will only give what a person can take (with maybe a few wobbles) and that was probably the reason why I was given the children I have...he knew I could cope with it.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

While character influences how we cope with things, those who are more selfish and don't care about others, often do better. For example taking your example of SS. (I'll delete this of you want SS). Husband is away apparently enjoying himself while she does her very best day-in day-out to look after the children. Her husband not giving a !!!!!!. How is this in any way fair? 0 -

Some people have something missing in either their genetic or emotional make-up. They lack, well I am not quite sure what they lack but they are less than they should be and possibly less than they could be. They sleepwalk through life making no real connection with it.
Who would choose to be them?Retail is the only therapy that works0 -

If this were true no-one would kill themselves or die of hunger.
Not that I'm advocating suicide, mind.0 -
The burden we can bear is very much a christian belief.
It is a platitude fed to us and by us to make the intolerable tolerable.
I dont think it is true either.Retail is the only therapy that works0
