Yes, he actually does believe you can "think yourself well!" I told him to explain that to my 34 year-old friend, who's battling advanced ovarian cancer right now... she is the most positive person ever, so if she can't "will it away" nobody can. We're talking about a woman who was orphaned by 30, and used her family's poor health history as motivation to LIVE - she traveled the world for two years (immediately following her mother's death), and was diagnosed with cancer shortly after returning. And how about my sister's friend, whose THREE year-old daughter has been fighting leukemia since age one? I'm sure this baby's negative attitude is what made her sick, huh? Nobody can wish cancer away, as nice as that would be.
She's accepted the death sentence the doctors gave her, because for some reason she believes them more than she does herself. That's her failing.

That is seriously out of line, and you owe them an apology. You are now officially going on ignore... have a nice life, and good luck with that "positive thinking" if you become gravely ill.
Your health is more up to you than it is any doctor. If you want to accept what they have to tell you, then you've made your mental choice on the matter.
I really cannot stand people in their 70s who have NO IDEA what this recession is like for those of us out of work and without 'aid' of any kind. My aunt and uncle who are both in their early 70s tell me I am just lazy and need to put on my suit and start knocking on doors like THEY DID in 1960 and I will get a job.
They raise a family on one income. Times are tough and I am trying like **** to find a job. Meanwhile they tut-tut and say to me get myself down to McDonalds or do ANYTHING to earn money.
Can anyone else relate?
Some people need to hate because it makes them feel better and superior. They’re no better than anybody else, just another class of sad loser. I don’t give a rat’s hind quarters what these lovers think as they have defined themselves for the worse by their particular brand of hatred. Someday they will find themselves in the very boat they so despise and you can rest assured that they will be singing a different tune. Until that day, cheers.

If TKramar finds it entertaining to use his mind, he should get a job where he uses his mind. That way, he would get paid to do something he finds entertaining.
He tells other people that manual labor is not beneath them. But he seems to think it's beneath him to get a job using his mind since he thinks he's too smart for those jobs.

Exactly... that's what I tried to tell him, but his thick skull could not compute.

Good point! He asked "what makes you so special" to not look for minimum wage jobs, so what makes HIM so special to not take an intellectually challenging job? Hypocrisy much?

Yeah, I should have done it a long time ago... but I found some of his crazy perspectives amusing. He crossed the line with the earlier comment, though, suggesting my friend & a THREE YEAR-OLD little girl were to blame for their cancer. That is beyond heartless and cruel, and I don't tolerate mean people like that.
