I can never comprehend how others find the will to live.

What's the point of all these for all there is now is suffering?

you have to live long enough to find out ,or not
the loss and the choice is up to whomever is willing to play the game called life ,
I wanted to quit when I lost my first wife and 3 kids to divorce ,again when my brother ended up with my girlfriend
Dad took me to another state and abandoned me ,he was so sure I would do a Cane on their precious little Able ,I was the one wronged twice ,1st by my Brother ,2nd by my Dad ,,
BUT because of them I met my second wife who was an angel ,exactly the woman I prayed for to the "T" ,but I could not let go of the pain I left behind ,and I was an addict ,
But EVERYTHING was going my way
A killer job working for millionaires during the day playing to sold out venues at night every weekend
I even got a little gig for Sunday where I got to pretend I was Jimmy Buffet ,,,but my back gave out ,how is unimportant ,I ended up crippled for the next year until I had major surgery on my 30th birthday ,,walked out of the hospital in 5 days was back on a job on day 9
Ended up doing a little poetic justice on someone who used me 7 yrs and then watched me lose everything I worked for with no sympathy at all ,,and then a tiny sliver of bone paralyzes my arm ,my wife leaves ,takes me for everything she can get ,and I end up homeless ,sleeping with hobo's and wineo's
But I meet someone who helps me again rise from the ash's
and I get to be a recording star ,,,find my kids and now I have a son ,and 6 grandkid who make life worth all the pain I have ever endured ,,and I have never told my life story in such a small book ,,,LOL
Moral of the story ,Able faked a back injury ,was awarded $170.000.00 ,3 days before his check arrived he killed himself
My home he lived in was paid for ,he found a way not to work again and was set and he killed himself ,,he had alway had it all ,and I was always starting over ,,is it now ironic
I ended up happy ,and he killed himself ,,
Such is the game of life
You don't know who wins until the end
Quitters always lose ,,oh ,and now I don't have to work either
