Who do i think i am?

Really, whatever you're going through that's got you feeling sorry for yourself, get over it! This is not the nicest thing to hear when in the middle of what you believe is a crisis but it's the most constructive three words anyone can offer you...ever. The only reason this wise proverb would sound harsh to your hurting ears and heart is because we live in a culture that encourages victimhood, where those with the most heart-wrenching story receive the most donations, sympathy, 'care', and 'love'.  Now, because without this conditional love we might actually die, almost everyone alive at this very moment learned various tools and skills in the business of sadness paddling. So, a regular conversation between kinfolk is often laced with an underlying current of sadness.
