I am miserable. So are you. We often share our stories with each other. Infact, we share it with a lot of people. But my life is always more miserable than everyone else’s. I can dig through my past and present to you a series of hardships that I’ve been through. Sure, you’ve had a hard life too but can you imagine being in my shoes?
Somewhere I know…I know I won’t let myself forget the past. Not because I don’t like being happy but because my misery brings glory to my success. Sometimes I will fail and raise my finger at my misery. But, once again, I will promise myself “I am going to be happy.” Then, someone will stop by and blather about their miserable life. They will cry, whine and grumble and force me to break my silence “Friend, my misery is more glorious than yours!”
I know I will never be happy if I look back at that drug, that addictive depressing past that I love to brag about. Yes, it feels good to brag about my misery. Embraced in self pity, it feels good to weep and lose myself while some “concerned” souls try to “help” me. But the “help” will never help for I don’t want it to help.
I am all about “what I was”. I know it is the “I am” that matters... “I am” to the point that “I was” ceases to exist. I am happy.

Self pity is sooooo obvious to others but others love it too,others join in too!
One who opposes is the 'BAD'guy.
@pluto & liz.. I am talking from the point of view of a person who is aware of the drama and plays the wild card (read misery) to comfort oneself. All of us have the same way of functioning, varying degrees though.
@Prashant.. Thank you!! :D Weekend it is! I'll hold you to that!
@Manjula.. I agree. The "good guy" enjoys showering the whiner with attention. The one who does not play along becomes the "insensitive guy".
What you write is full of real sensible content. I like it. Your article also brings out the mutation of a victim into an observer. That is, in my view, how a victim gets liberated.
