Ask Andy #5
Seeker asks:
What have you learned from being undead that might help a breather whose life hasn’t been going so well?
Well, Seeker, I guess the main thing I’ve learned is that no matter how bad you think you have it, there’s always someone who’s worse off than you.
While my left arm is mangled and more or less useless, at least I have all of my appendages, unlike Tom, who had his right arm stolen by a bunch of fraternity pledges. It’s hard enough being a card-carrying member of the undead, decomposing and having to fend off maggots and wasps and carrion beetles, but to have to deal with the embarrassment of having your arm stolen and the visual reminder of your empty arm socket, well, that’s just adding insult to injury. Plus it makes it hard to keep your balance.
But if taking solace in the misfortune of others doesn’t work for you, then repeat the following affirmations:Never Give Up, Believe In Yourself, and Hope Is Not A Four-Letter Word.
Thanks for the question, Seeker. I hope things start looking up for you soon.
