I don't mean to be rude, as I have probably already been too harsh on frievous in the past, and he is often the subject of others' ridicule in other threads, but...why would you start a thread like this? If you were someone else, I'd take it as a serious topic worth discussing. But coming from you, it just convinces me further than you have an extremely negative outlook on just about everything. I really think you need to lighten up, try to see a little more of the good in life, and spend at least part of your day dwelling on happier thoughts. Life sucks now, but it has always sucked in different ways throughout history. But there is also much good, much to make us happy. Psychologists say that sad people are more realistic, but I'd rather be a little more optimistic than realistic. The optimists are the ones who turn negative realities into positive ones. Change your world rather than dwelling on the bad.
