Someone told me the other night that the only worth while thing I have done in my life is help conceive my children. At first I did not dwell on the comment, hell I hardly gave it a second thought. However the next day at work the gears in my wretched mind started to turn. I started to look back at my "accomplishments" in my life. I came up with a few truly worthwhile things. I wondered how the person who told me this wold compare to me in true "accomplishments". Then I realized it isn't a contest or a whose better than who, as if I would ever consider anyone to be better than me. So my "accomplishment" contain a few things that I will share, so here goes.
#1 - I conceived to wonderful children that mean more to me than ANYONE else ever will.
#2 - I saved a childhood friend from drowning in a swimming pool... granted to didnt do much with his life either but hey who am I to judge anyone but myself.
#3 - When my mother was having a heart attack and she said she was fine I am the stubborn bastard that ignored her and called an ambulance. According to the doctor she wouldn't have made it other wise.
#4 - Well I guess that's it... I have called ambulances for others and nursed many people but cant say that I saved their life.
Overview: I helped create 2 wonderful and awesome lives and 2 other hearts beat on because of me. I guess that isnt much now is it? Doctors saved hundreds maybe thousands, soldiers save millions of lives. So yes my "accomplishments" may seem meager to you but for four people out there they mean the world to them.
Closing: this person judged me. I was looked down upon once again because I make a pathetic wage and do not own a nice car or a home. Yes, I have a shitty fucking job but I like it most of the time, You have a job you hate but make good money but you cant really count that cause it could all be gone tomorrow. I think an accomplishment is something that you will be remembered by even after your gone. Honestly, fuck you... what the hell makes you so god damn special, what makes you any fucking better than me? What the hell have you accomplished? Who is the real waste of space?
