Why some choose to fight
and others will surrender,
a real mystery.
I deeply respect
the decision someone makes,
whatever it is.
I just wonder what
in someone’s unique makeup
explains fight or flight.

HI JUDY
powerful question. In part, I believe it is about other realities in a person's lives as well. But who knows.
Love Gail
peace.....
I think I fall somewhere in between. I was never a good fighter -- never liked conflict. Yet, I was also stubborn enough to never accept the status quo. Now with MS hammering at me constantly, I have little choice -- often too tired to fight, but too afraid to acquiesce.
Peace,
Muff
Similar to Muff...sometimes I fight, sometimes I don't. Doesn't seem to matter either way really. I still have MS, and it still has me.
Gail, Muff, and Karen,
The funny thing is that if someone were to ask me if I am a fighter, I am not sure I would say yes. And yet on a daily basis I do nothing but fight to get that extra step or lift that package or stay upright. The truth is that while fighting does not seem natural, surrendering feels even more unnatural. The other truth is that quite often I want to flee this reality but since that does not seem to be possible, I try to make the best of it while I'm here.
