If this were true, why do charity organizations exist today? What reason would a complete stranger have to care for someone they've never even met before? I suppose the pessimistic answer you can derive from that is to swindle money, but if what you have said is true: would anybody donate to anyone else if they were only for themselves? The answer is no. The truth of the matter is, people do care.

This thread is another example. Simply because you do not care, does not alter the perspective of the world to anyone other than yourself. I can continue to condemn you, for ages upon ages, of harsh, antagonizing criticism on how skewed you've follied. Not to mention how easy it would be, considering it is the popular bandwagon of hate on this thread. However, I understand that society has strongly shaped you and created an impact (for the negative) on your beliefs. You are correct up to a certain limit. This society does have a lack of competence for other people. Other people. People. But you must agree there must be a solution to this practical problem. As there is to any, when given thought.

The solution is fairly simple. It does not involve a whole lot of work, any sort of campaigning or fundraising or anything ludicrous like that. It only requires a change in behavior. Your own. Now how will this fix the issue of a self-centered society? Easy. One less person to worry about. You cannot tackle the issue as a whole and expect a successful outcome, but you can tackle the issue one individual at a time.

If there was a little emoji thing for a thumbs up I would be using it right now  

Any remaining doubt that Era News is a total moron

I think you should share it. It will more than likely make you feel relieved to have such a weight lifted from your chest. However, it you are uncomfortable with the idea there isn't a need to share it if you don't want to.

Yeah, part 2 is not about bullying. It's more of a personal occurrence that sadly happen to me in 2012. I might post tomorrow..I will kinda feel better sharing my story than just keeping it on my chest. As my mother said, Life experiences are just not meant to be keep to yourself, but to be shared with the world.

My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.  

This thread makes me sick about how lucky I am.  

Well this is part 2 to my other story but they are not related what soever. My first story is Bullying and can be found here:

http://www.graalians.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23070

This story actually is more of what happen to me back in 2012. Yes, it's a true story and yes It kinda hurts talking about it but sometimes I just like to express what happen to me to others because some can actually relate to what I'm going through.

Well without further ado, here's Part 2:

So I moved down to Georgia in 2011 and was having the time of my life. I mean I was making friends, I was enjoying Graal during the time since it was my first year playing and I could honestly say that I forgot about the bullying. Fast forward to spring of 2012 and I realized I wasn't myself. From spring all the way to fall, I had intense stomach pains and these little things called hemorrhoids. Basically (hope you guys be mature about this) they were these two little things hanging in the anus which makes you have intense pain when passing stools. It was a sign and I regret to this day to keeping it to myself that I had hemorrhoids until a month later where I told my mom. So I had both these problems and went to the doctor countless times just to get medicine and tips. These did not help. I went to NY the summer of 2012 and it was just brutal with all the pain I had. School started in August 2012 and every morning the pain was bad. It then went away but came back during the school day. It was that one day in September that I won't forget anytime soon. Most days I had to pick up my brother from his school across the block. SO that one day I did and as I was walking back home the unexpected happen. I s**ted right there. Not only was my stomach killing me, the hemorrhoids were also causing that extreme pain. So I went to hospital the next day( yes I went to hospital before but the people there said it was just a stomach bug). Lucky, these people this day were smart people. They knew something was wrong with me and they referred me to a gastroenterologist(someone who specializes with the digestive system). I went to my specialized doctor that next Friday since my grandmother who came down from NY just to check on me had to choose the best one. When that Friday came, my specialized doctor told me that I may have Cronh's Disease. I was worried and depressed at the same time. I was hoping for a miracle. To see if I did, he made me go to a children specialized hospital. There I had to drink this laxative that made me pass stools all night. He made me do this to flush my body out for a colonoscopy(test where a camera is inserted in your mouth to check intestine area). The test was done after they made me fall asleep from gas. When it was done, the results was in. I awoke and heard the doctor say, "Gianni(real life name) I'm sorry to say but you have Cronh's Disease". He showed me the pictures of my intestine and they were inflamed. I was so depressed. My family and I were just crying and having tears. I was worried. I never heard of this Cronh's disease before and pretty much in my mind was why me. Why do I deserve this? I had a lot of support during the time. My friends on Graal were there for me and some were even crying. Some said everything will be ok. But how? I been diagnosed with a disease. That wasn't ok to me. So the doctor then told me what it was. Cronh's Disease is a disease that causes intense stomach pain and inflames my small and large intestine as well as my colon. Basically, it causes stomach pain randomly from time to time. During these times, it's called flares-up. When I got out the hospital the 3-4 days after I got diagnosed, I was recovering. I missed a month and few weeks from school. When I got back, everyone asked me where I been and I told them what happen. Some just said oh, some told me that it was really sad news others gave me a hug. But some were harsh. Some who thought I was annoying said I deserve the disease. Like really? That's hard to hear folks. I was like wow. Basically, I missed so much school from my disease. Even now it have random flare ups that make me miss weeks of school. I'm surprised I managed to even pass my classes. Fast forward to now and I can say my disease is under control. I have to take this procedure every 6-8 weeks that is an IV infused with a medicine named Remicade where clears up(not take out completely) the inflammation in my intestines. It sucks considering I have to stay there for hours and by the time I'm done, I sleep for the whole day. So yeah, this disease is incurable. It makes me limit what foods I can eat, makes me lose my appetite for eating, gives me bad stomach pains(sometimes it real bad that I have to go to hospital) and it basically changed my life. The worst fact is that stress plays a huge factor and can even lead to my flares-up and I sadly get stressed a lot. And I know there are far worse diseases out there and I pray and feel sorry for all who been affected by one. Because face it folks, you don't know until it hits you and change your life forever. Cronh's disease seems like a minor thing but its major and can even get to the point where you have to have surgery. From my time where I got diagnosed to now I strive to become stronger and I still fight now. Because for the fact that if you don't fight the disease, your gonna let that disease win. Well thanks for reading. And I'll put some information about the disease down here. Just remember keep fighting and for all who have a disease do not give up hope. Just don't.

Sorry to hear

Thanks man :/ Bullying and this disease surely is no joke. But we gotta live life through no matter what hit us.  

I was saddened when I read both of your stories. People in life can truly be cruel. I believe that the lack of empathy is to blame. With the rise of technology we are faced with new ways to contact people. Instead of calling or speaking in person, some people use instant messaging or texting. This is where we loose the conveying of emotion. Thus damaging our ability of having empathy. Although, this new technology allows us to talk to others in a way where we can truly be ourselves. It also gives us a chance to find people who understand what we are going through when those around us do not.

Even when people were mean and life threw things at you; you did not give up.
Thank you for sharing your stories with us xSupah.
