Life a steaming pile of shit? (Page 2)

lavendar_star: Hey; Cannot, who said I am optimistic or in a bubble but I ain't damaging my mental health and the ability to get up in the morning by being in a constant despair of Humanity existence and survival . I would consider myself a realistic with bit of optimism to keep me going day to day. thanks lol not that I shud be offended by being a optimistic but im not one, hence the word hope and false hope, get it

Metaverseguy: There was a philosopher named Wittgenstein who believed in logical optimism. Basically, it's good to be optimistic so as long as it's rational and reasonable.

Incorrect: oh the world is so plentiful and nice. if we all follow buddhism there will be no more wars, everyone will be happy, poverty will be gone, and we will all go to heaven
Correct: Due to increased budgets in education finally the highschool graduation rate has increased.

lavendar_star: Well one person whining is another philosophies lol its all about interpretation and doesn't mean you should insult people , Furthermore, I do not complain about my life because I know so many have it far worse off and I have life and ambition, but each to their own.

lavendar_star: Thats nice and humble of you DMT thanks , I understand your manta that its better 2 be alive then dead, as there defo no heaven,lol, but life can be tough and dark so I guess for some people its hard to see the light. As for cannotbeloved: sorry to hear that I'm sure you don't want my pity, the only grudge I have to bear is that is difficult in finding a job but as we have benefit system in the U.K I don't try to get to down as things could be worse. so take care and I hope things improve for you.

Metaverseguy: I know that "life is a steaming pile of shit" is just an opinion. Obviously there is people who love life and people who find it difficult, tedious, and not as rewarding. Maybe looking at things at a different perspective will strengthen your opinion. Or you can list all the reasons why you find so much joy in life instead of complaining that I should quit whining and just pretend to be happy.

Metaverseguy: Alright I'll confess why I'm feeling this way. I thought I would be better at chess by now, but I still need to improve. Don't worry I just bought a book so I feel improvement will be coming along.

Godzirra: It's all relative, who's to say that the dude who shot himself in the face after years and years of shit wouldn't have had a better day tomorrow if he had just waited one more day.
But thats just me, life doesn't suck All the time. Sure it's shitty but I smoke a joint, play some video games, read a good book, watch some porn, and just try to get through it till i'm an old asian woman and knitting nikes who eventually dies in a blaze of glory where I finally take out jackie chan and his evil league of ninja assassins.
