we're all suffering....but, jonny does more than just worry about the problems of the people over here(people at ch.com and OUCH) he pitches in and helps out both with his time,advice, support and financial help.
Now before this becomes some sort of who suffers the most, i think it's safe to say we're all suffering. Here it's cluster headaches. Since you suffer cluster headaches, and this was an issue that was important to you i see it as cluster related. I worry we're going to get into another heated thread that really there is no reason for.
Here we work together to help each other end our suffering, through support, prayers, advice, referrals or whatever means. When you posted Chamb, it came off to me that you were mentioning what helps you to endure cluster pain, by seeing outside your own suffering that there are others who suffer too. I saw it as you were showing what gives meaning to your life, and your suffering by helping them. We've talked about this before here, what gives us meaning to our suffering. Was I wrong? or was this the introduction to a debate?
I don't know now, ....i think i'll do what i've already been doing to help the people in Tibet. I think i'll do what i've already been doing to help the people i love here too.
