Re: Winning arguments to loose atl life
You and your string of anecdotes, Hottie. 
You and I have different definitions of intelligence, but for me it goes beyond being highly educated, having a strong vocabulary, and a sharp wit. An intelligent girl would not struggle so much with maintaining her relationships as the girl in your post has.
Would the girl, despite her huge ego, also resort to cheating on her spouse, abandoning her children, and selling her body? The man who screwed around on his wife, walked out on his kids, and got into prostitution has worse deep-rooted issues than just a massive ego. There is more than just stubbornness at play with him.
What exactly is the purpose of this thread? Are you trying to tell us that karma strikes those who hurt others? Sure, it does. It transcends culture, and gender, and one doesn’t even need to repent or lie peacefully in the bed they’ve made for themselves to be inflicted by it’s wrath. It strikes us all; not exempting you.
Enabling? Bailing the girl out would not be the first time her family has “enabled” her…she must have been enabled in her childhood many times to get to the stage that she is currently at. If she has spent any time at all suffering behind bars, then hopefully the experience will have made her smarter and she would make the effort not to repeat it. Whether her guidance and reformation will stem from her family’s involvement in her life or from their abandoning her to her own devices as a form of “tough love”…leave that to Allah. It is not your concern.
The old man doesn’t have enablers around him, his family wants little to do with him, but he still does what he wants to do. Yes, there are people like this in the world. But he is still suffering despite his attitude of entitlement…despite his failure to admit his mistakes…despite his refusal to lie quietly in the bed he has made for himself. He is thrashing around in bed for the pain he’s caused others…does that make you happy, Hottie, or is that not enough for you? Even his family are not as concerned about him as YOU are.
Once AGAIN, what the hell is the purpose of your thread? Do you want to discuss the forms and pros and cons of enabling? Do you want to encourage members to concur with your ill opinion of this girl and man…and start thoo-thoo’ing or bashing them? Do you want members to share their own anecdotes of people who are leading difficult lives? What would this accomplish other than develop a smug separation in our minds of “us” and “them”…where “them” are the wretched souls to be pitied? AGAIN, Oprah…what the hell is the “noble” purpose of your thread or even return to GS?
If Allah has given you blessings in terms of a career, a marriage, family, etc …that you believe the “lonely” girl, the wretched old man, and others are deficient in…then thank Him for it as opposed to nursing an attitude of self-satisfaction and disgust. And next time, try to make your threads have a coherent theme…or at least do a better job in concealing your motives; it’s been very transparent thus far.
