    Does anyone else think we all take life a bit too seriously on here sometimes...You know to be honest most of the time life is just a bit of a giggle, isn't it....So fuck it things go wrong, things sometimes suck but when it comes down to it, I aint really that bothered by it all....Screw the little things, I refuse to get bummed out or depressed by any of it....I refuse to get all "oh I am so sad and the world is so hard, everyone give me sympathy" etc...Fuck that... life is easy, and we have it about as good as it gets....At the end of the day we are all gonna be dead before we know it, so make it as nice as you can for everyone else and just get on with it... its a lot better than the alternative...

    People feel too sorry for themselves nowadays....

    Well I feel much the same way...

    I haven't ever had a long term illness to deal with though... i.e. depression, bi-polar, cancer, hiv etc.... so I guess I am lucky in a lot of ways.

    Life makes me happy as fuck 99.9999% of the time :D

    Yeah, it is just a ride as someone once said... but sometimes there are physiological reasons why people are unable to be positive. So yeah, but no, but yeah but no but ...

    its excellent that you have no worries and feel so great, i feel the same and love life and feel it is the greatest gift ever and there to be made the most out of so that is what i'm doing! it is all a giggle mostly.

    i dont agree about people feeling too sorry for themselves though. not everyone has a perfect carefree exsistance(sp?) and just coz they're not as happy as you doesnt mean they are just feeling sorry for themselves, they may have a genuine reason for being on a downer and if thats the case then the have my sympathy.

    not everyone is strong enough to say fuck it all to life. it would be great if they were but sometimes that little bit of strength isnt always there when you need it.

    so yeah....life is great, i love it and to those who are having a hard time - big hugs!!

    peace and love

    Yeah people with illness fair enough...I just think as a whole we as a species have descended into apathy and just become a bunch of whiners.....

    The world needs a good kick up the ass.....

    and people who have just lost a loved one.....

    and people who are trapped in a life they hate through no fault of their own.....

    and people who suffered years of childhood abuse to turn into an adult who hates themselves....

    and people who just dont have a reason to be happy.....


    theres loads of reasons to not be on top of the world, its not just that they feel sorry for themselves.

    i know this turned into a serious thread and probably wasnt meant that way, but its too easy to tell people to cheer up just coz they're not as happy as you are and thats not fair coz there may be a genuine reason to be that unhappy.

    peace and love

    I am not necessarily that happy all the time but I don't wallow in my own self pity and let it get me down...Get the fuck over it...Shit happens everyday to really nice people....Life isn't a big bunch of roses, realise that and deal with it......and as for people who don't have anything to be happy about...What a load of crap..everyone does.....

    (just reread this, was not meant to sound rude or an attack on people like it could be misconstrued too :) )

    mostly agree with everything you just said. very similar to my own attitude on life. the only difference is that i think you could be a bit more sympathetic to people who are "wallowing in their self pity". Theres probably a reason for it, and even if there isnt telling them to just "get the fuck over it" is probably not as helpful as it could be.

    peace and love

    I get you... but Koolaid works everyday helping people.

    There are a lot of people that really do just need a good kick up the ass... not to be cruel but just to get them of it and enjoying life.

    if we're talking about you're average Joe here... I know lots of people (especially at work) that just bloody winge alllll the time, about nothing in particular. When you think about the real pain and suffering people go through... well, i kind of lose my patience with them.:&

    Koolaid.. have some coffee;)

    I'm one who has come here quite a bit recently with depression issues, fear for family's well being, and loss of a family member. I don't come here for sympathy or pity. But lately, I haven't had a decent support group around me, so I turn to the forums. Because I do consider several people in here to be my friends and people I can turn to when I need help or some form of support. I try not to take life too seriously, but sometimes ya just can't help it.

    Fortunately, things are going in a positive direction for me at this moment.

    Right... so as long as people are alive nothing is wrong?

    so hunger, war, abuse, illness etc are all "right"

    I understand the jist of the message you tried to give... but it's way to simplistic and rather naive..

    there's lots of things wrong in this world... it's finding support and balance that is the key, not just burying your head in the sand.

    I have an inbuilt dislike of one liners as an answer to theworlds problems... that's why i dislike sound bites in general.

    Sound bites are very rarely heart felt or thought through.

    Agreed, but you know what I meant. I say bad life is beter than no life, but Im a no life vegetarian. So yeah I obviously have morals values and things I find to be wrong. So, you know what I mean, but yeah good point.
