Shine a Positive Light ::rainbow::
Feeling negative about your situation only serves to keep you stuck in that situation. Is that really what you want?
The situation may indeed be very difficult. And as such, the best thing you can do is to move positively away from it, leaving those difficulties behind.
Finding the positive possibilities will provide you with a way forward. Looking for the positive aspects of a difficult situation is not naive; it is a shrewd, realistic and effective strategy. Discouragement is never a foregone conclusion. It is only one of many responses that you can choose.
There is indeed a way out, a way forward. Do you want to find that way? If so, then shine a positive light on the situation rather than getting mired in its difficulties. Choose to move forward, and you'll make a way to do it.

I'm pretty sure that's the thinking behind the class action; a positive way to move forward from a horrendously bad situation.
The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad.

I guess that's why there are so many lawyers in the world?! Putting myself in that situation, joining a class action, wouldn't help me move forward as the satisfaction would only come from my "ego" not my heart. To each his own -

Yes, to each his/her own-
And programs that abuse should be glad that there are lawyers and more "civilized" means of seeking justice... otherwise they might find themselves facing angry lynching mobs... ya know, an eye for an eye justice.
Better yet, they should be confined for the remainer of their lives, not in a traditional prison where they would have certain rights, but in a facility designed after their own. That would be justice.
And that would bring great satisfaction to my ego and heart. Contrary to seminar propoganda, the heart and mind must work together in order to have any kind of balance.
