Hello All
I was pondering this because of another event unrelated to this phenomenon we experience. Liabilities, what is it about them we don't like? The cost, the time, the hold back, the pain, what? For a spouse dealing w/ this, are we a liability to them? I thought of my own situation and I've been wondering that I guess, I am a liability. My cost, to my wife, is high. As a spouse, what cost is your partner to you? Is it a price that you're willing too pay? Sometimes in the mist of things we don't really realize the cost of something until we are actually at that bridge. Why are we willing to bear the cost of something's and not others? Could be the strain on our pride? The amount of work and time we will need to give for nothing in return sometimes is not very appealing. Yet, from the time we begin to understand as children, it's drilled into us too, be yourself, good things come through very hard work and dedication, go for it, don't be a quitter.
Fast Forward 20 years. Why, are we not hearing the same "go get em tiger" phrases. Instead I get "you got brain damage and need help, what you're doing is wrong" and so on. I sit back in my little corner of the world and wonder, have I become a heavier liability? My cost is starting to rise for the Mrs. and maybe she's wondering if she'll be able to afford me or just doesn't think I'm worth the cost. I'm wondering if the things we experience in life are just "liabilities" and what cost are we willing to bear for those "liabilities"?
Anyway, just an "off the wall" thought I had.:straightface:
