The Sea-Wolf tells the story of a soft, domesticated creature forced to become tough and self-reliant by exposure to cruelty and brutality. In this case, the creature is human: a literary intellectual named Humphrey van Weyden. Onboard a San Francisco ferry which collides with a ship in the fog and sinks, he is picked up ("rescued" is not the word) by Wolf Larsen. Larsen is the captain of the seal-hunting schooner Ghost, bound for Japan. Brutal and cynical, yet also highly intelligent and intellectual he rules over his ship and terrorizes the crew with the aid of his exceptionally great physical strength. Van Weyden adequately describes him as an individualist, a hedonist, and a materialist. As Larsen does not believe in the immortality of the soul he finds no meaning in his life and has come to despise all human life and deny its value. Being interested in someone capable of intellectual disputes he somewhat takes care of "Hump" while forcing him to become a cabin boy, do menial work, and learn to fight to protect himself from a brutal crew. Later, another castaway is picked up, Maud Brewster, a famous woman poet, with whom Hump soon falls in love. After an attempt to escape from the Ghost Maud and Hump are cast away on a lonely island. In inhospitable conditions they are forced to learn to provide for themselves beyond every human civilization. But then, Larsen - meanwhile deserted by his crew - reaches their island.

Erekose, Instead of quoting from books, let's quote from OUR LIVES! My life started out kinda rough. My mother was divorced, Ironed clothes for a living while RAISING THREE OF US. I remember seeing her little spiral notebook with the charges she made to her customers. After eight hours of ironing I think she made about fifteen bucks. Her LOVE was never ending! And she continued to do this untill we were old enough for her to go to college at night. She IRONED and educated herself , and RAISED ALL THREE OF US.

Perhaps this is where the unsypathetic part of me comes from! This is NOT a story from a book, its my story! So get off your ASSES and make your life COUNT! To hear whining makes me kinda SICK!

Whoa lets back up here - I posted the book reference because I actually thought you might actually like to read it. Your

My point is to STAND TALL. We live, We LOVE and WE DIE!

quote reminded me of it. That's all. Nothing sinister.

Also the "sympathy" question was directed to the Saddam thread, not this one.

Maybe its the weaker look to the stronger for help and guidance, then its the stronger to be the bigger person and help. Everyone on here has a past as is everyone on here looking towards a new future, years from now most of us wont even remember people we have met, talked with, made friends or enemies with from on here. So i guess how each handle each day is a choice, do you down someone, do you help, do you listen, do you cuss them out? Whatever is your choice is the things that make you the person you are in the end, you have to live only with yourself.

It (can) be easier to open up to a stranger than a friend or relative. I mean, isn't that why people see a psychiatrist?

Being "strong" doesn't mean that that things don't affect you. Trauma can manifest itself (negatively) in a number of different ways - pretending it isn't there is all well and good, but its not really very helpful. I can think of several people in my own life who do that.

Oh one more thing, My mom never ever whined about anything! .......................................NOT ONE! The whinin I hear sometimes here, really grates on me! OOooops I'm gonna get it now.

I don't like whining, either.

But I don't see how posting about the loss of your father (or any other loved one) is whining. *shrug*
