Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Such
a tedious rebuke. Often followed
by words about gratitude or
comparative well being.
I encourage you to feel sorry
for yourself. Feel sorry for other
people, too, but save some for yourself.
Properly calibrated, self-sympathy
dulls disappointment's edge. It can
soothe depression when you're lying
there staring into your mind like it was
a dark, fishless aquarium.
The pleasure of self-pity
is under-rated. Indeed I think
some people try to shame you
out of it because they think
you might be enjoying it.
I feel sorry for them.
