[quote=Anonymous][quote=Amazin]There are a bunch of topics on being middle age....feeling old...bad health etc. There is no doubt that genetics plays a big role in ones health. Some of us are simply dealt bad cards and others good cards. (Blame our parents!). But there are a ton of people who have brought bad health upon themselves from smoking, excessive drinking, overeating etc. They then ask...why me? A good friend of mine who has always been extremely health conscious has suddenly come down with severe kidney problems and cancer. He has every right to ask why me? Another friend who smoked, drank too much and never took care of himself has also come down with cancer and heart problems. I have great sympathy for both but it's hard for me to feel the same compassion when one never cared about taking care of himself and the other did. [b]Am I wrong to not feel the same?[/b] [/quote]

Well, you're not a good friend.  Your friend is suffering, and you can't muster compassion for him because he what, had it coming?  I feel bad for my friends when they are sick or hurt--the pain is the same no matter what the cause.  [/quote]
