I love my life, I live it easy, and I live it well. I take time each day to think about things most people would never care about, it's important to keep things like the origin of the universe and the nature of god in mind, keeps you in check as to how really important all those other petty issues are.

I'm sick of people my age being frustrated at their life, most of us have it easy, want a hard life?
I know a friend who's father wastes her college fun on booze and gambling, I know another friend who's going through a divorce at 23, and her parents disowned her because of it. At my work there is a girl so intelligent and so briliant and she happens to have Cerebral Palse, and can barely talk.

And you know what, they are dealing with it, it's not pissing them off, but they are going through life with those problems, and they have the right Idea, all will pass with time, and if you let it bother you today, you'r only delaying the peace that comes tomorow.

I LIKE MY LIFE! and to say I don't would be selfish and stupid.

Everyone has there problems..I do have it easy to a lot of ppl, but sometimes I think I don't.

I don't love my life right now. I don't like going somewhere I don't wanna be for 8 hours of the day for 5 days a week. I mean what is the meaning of life if we can't do what we want for it. I know people who work 12 hour days, 7 days a week for 40 years and still don't have enough to retire on. What kind of life is that? That sounds like punishment to me (punishment for being born)

I mean I would work hard if I had my own land and could do whatever I wanted on that land, but paying hefty $$ for a cubicle on the second floor of a building that someone else owns, it is weird.

Oh well, I am done ranting. At least I still have my health

[Spitfire]

I have a fulltime job. Bad.
Because of that i have money. Good.
I have a nice place to live. Good.
There are people that love me. Good.
I dont have sex with these people. Bad (in some cases).
I have a really good computer. Good.
It cost me alot and fucks up alot. Bad.
I live in the netherlands. Good.
It rains a fucking lot there. Bad.
Etc..
Etc..

[Guy]

yeah. i guess i cant complain either. i have a good family and good friends. dont really have serious problems.. at the moment anyway.

thank you count zero

if your whining instead of doing something about it, then you better get some pleasure out of the whining.
seriously, if your life isn't bad enough to quit, it's not bad at all. and if it is bad enough to quit you should try changing your life before you do it.

[Count Zero]

So basically: stop fucking whining!

somehow this song popped into my head as I read that thread:

ozone disappearing in the sky
bud man asking us why ask why
if I could find my magazine this bug would
die
- I complain

complain is so much easier

small kid begging for a crumb of bread
next kid bloated lying nearly dead
I wonder what to take for my aching head
- I complain

complain is so much easier

black man singing Mississippi blues
Africa starves a little baby drools
I'm trying to figure out all the basketball rules
- I complain

Mr. Rush Limbough giving me the facts
treetops falling and the newsman yaks
I'm thinking about carter and how I'm gonna be taxed hey

complain is so much easier,
complain is so much easier,
complain is so much easier for me

Boy, calm down. Why does everyone have to say "Oh I love this about my life because..."

People have their own problems, I have mine, you have yours, it isn't bad to fustrate them out...and to get smashed for doing so is weak.

I am changin my life, but to do so in one day is impossible.

And to bring up other peoples problems and compare them to your own is not right nor does it point anything out. Jim Joe on the corner of the street living off a can of beans doesn't matter to me. Nor does it matter to you. His problems don't concern you, now you might redeem yourself and give him a free can of beans, but the next morning who's problems are you going to worry about? Him living through the night or your next presentation in the office?!?

Don't compare your problems with others, cause it doesn't make sence and people don't care if it doesn't involve them and that is the truth.

That is all

WHAT? You don't think someone taking all your money for college doesn't piss that person off? If not, you are very hard-headed. They are pissed! I know that, they might not rant it on you, but they are.

Ummm...everyone lives through their problems...if they don't they are dead, cause they commited suicide. I don't understand you quote there.

[Duckman2]

Yeah, I've always known about how good my life is but part of the way I deal with this shit is by bitching about it, you know get a load off yer' chest. When I turned 14 I had just moved to a new school and three weeks into the year what happens! I'm diagnosed with a gigantic tumor in my spinal cord it wasn't cancer but the surgery left me bed ridden for five months and a paralyzed from the waste down for about a year, and have had two more surgeries in the last four years to correct spinal deformities, for a good four years i've had few friends and my mother has had complete controll over me. My situation was bad but many of the people around me in the hospital had it worse, some were kids and now they are dead, I got better they didn't, I was lucky they weren't. That's why I'm happy every day. I can walk and I'm fully functional again. Now I also have a social life. I don't want a pat on the back, I'm just telling my story. Every one has a story and I belive they should damn well tell it no matter how "boring" it is to you. That's part of me if I like it or not. Come to think of it I've probably said enough, just remember to look at the bright side it's better thatn the alternative.

[aquamire]

Right.... life is fucking wonderful. Yeah, I have a roof over my head, and a computer. On the other hand I get fricken pissed as hell when other people go on smiling like there's nothing wrong with the world, when next door a woman is being beaten by her husband. The continent next to us has people trying to commit genocide. My own life isnt to terrible, other than I cant live a single day without feeling like my head is collapsing from medical problems, but really, the shit that goes on this world is what gets me down. I could ignore it and be an ignorant little fuck smiling all day in agreement with the sun and never let it all get to me, but then things would never change.

As for on a more personal to personal level, yeah, people whine and complain.. and often for good reason. Its stupid to go off ranting about how this girl who's dying has worse problems than the guy who's trying to commit suicide over loosing his girlfriend. Its not about who has 'bigger' problems, its how people react to their problems.

A good friend of mine's brother recently died at age 21 of a brain tumor. Before he had died, my friend seemed to be taking things pretty well, but what few people knew was how often he cried himself to sleep. One night I was feeling really shitty, as I had just found out my ex fiance had just slept with some guy.. 1 week after we broke up. I didnt hear this from her, it was from the guy who slept with her.. just walked up to me at a restaurant and announced it. I was staying the night at my friends, and I just broke down.. told him all about it. I told him I felt terrible for coming to him like this, it seemed like he had far bigger problems than I. His brother was dying! Jeez. So what does he say? He said he felt bad talking about his brother dying because my own problems seemed worse than his.

Its a stupid world when you cant be compassionate for others, and just pass on life like its wonderful.. its not. It could be, but people are to busy smiling thinking its wonderful to actually make it so.

Sorry for my rant, its been a shitty day.

I'd put my wittiest remark here, but I'd scare you.

[shahar2k]

I guess it's all true, I'm not prepared to answer everyone seprately I'll just say, that I shouldn't have bitched about it... at least not while pretending to say "don't bitch" yah those other people have their problems, and by saying it dosn't piss them off, all I'm saying is that they don't complain, not unless asked, not unless they feel you are close enough to complain to. and I figure that if they can deal with their life being actively bad to them, and come out looking at the positive, well I sure as hell can too
basically what I'm trying to say is that life isn't bad, and I see people who whine and bitch all day because they havn't found their direction in life, and people who stay silent when they are having life sucked out of them. so if bitching's your way, do so with your own pleasure, me, I like to sound smart in conversations to let stress out. and play pool.... that made no sense, thank you come again

[aquamire]

I feel the need to apologize for my little rant.. I was in a fairly bad mood. I shouldnt post when I am, heheh.

Unfortunately I do feel that way fairly often.. I havent spent enough time being thankful for life's little fortunes. I have a lot going for me I guess, but a lot of things need to change in my life before I can say I'm truly happy with it.

Hey I think it's cool to let off steam and be pissed, I was just saying that we all have ways of dealing with the shit that comes down. Yes shit does happen all around the world, but it's one thing to be upset about it and its another thing to put your own life on hold and fix it. I just think that people get in ruts and they fail to see the silver lining in certain things. You can't change other people's lives until you make your's better.

[Impaler]

Hell, if we can't be happy about being happy, what chance in hell do we have of leading great lives?

Then again, there's only one life we're living, and we have no way of basing a par or standard of measure for the actual overall goodness of our life. So, hell, maybe we all have it horrible, maybe we all have it splendid.

Well the reason we all were posting our frustrations is because it feels GOOD and DAMN GOOD at that to get them out and not bottled up. ...Well i can't say the same for everyone but i would think thats how it is for most people.
And me im happys with my life because i know that eventually all anxiety,stress, and all frustrations will go away and there will be good days and they will come back and cycle this over forever
Eventually you will end up happy or just accepting things when its your time to leave this realm.
