I found the same concept in the book "Fattitudes" by Willard.

I need to get that one from the library.

It was a really useful exercise for me to go through and list the
benefits
of being fat. I did it online, actually, and it was horribly revealing.
Even worse because one of the guys on MFW saw it here and thought it was
hilarious and cross-posted it over to MFW so they could laugh at me.

All I can say to that is, consider the source. I have no use for that
newsgroup -- to me, a bunch of misanthropic, self-appointed experts who
make
a perfect case study of why *not* to take the ECA stack. I can get better
information from any other source. "Don't walk away from negative
people --
run."

Exactly. It's like saying, 'wow, it really hurt when they beat to a pulp,
but I deserved it.' No one deserves the abuse others give them, simple as
that.
