That moment when you stop taking the drugs the psychiatrist has prescribed you for nearly a decade and realize that you were never sick – It was the society that was terminal, and it’s been poisoning you since birth.
Life can be heaven or hell, it’s mostly what you decide to make of it. Of course there are things that are beyond your control like your looks, parents, intelligence, etc. However we have a fairly good system in the West to get an education and decent career and makes friends along the way.
Of course anything worth having doesn’t come easily (unless you’re lucky), so you’d need to put in a lot of effort. It boils down to make a good income-if you’re doing well financially, have a good job then most of your problems are taken care of. If you’re struggling/poor then you’ll have a lot of problems and suffer a lot until you get into a better place.
That is the main reason I’m still alive right now because I believe I have the knowledge and abilities to improve my life and live in ‘heaven’ here. Death is always available if one was really desperate to end life and I know I’ll never get another one so I’m trying to make the most out of it. I’ve decided that if my life doesn’t get better by my mid-50s then I’ll end it (I’m in my 40s now).
Not to mention time also seems to fly. I’ve always felt young most of my life and I even look younger than my age but I realize the things I’ve experienced won’t happen again so I have to make the most of the time I have left.
That is very wise in my opinion. I too think the same way. Although i do forget to live in the moment sometimes. Life is beautiful in a way I think despite all the pain and fear. Life is short so i might as well enjoy a majority of it. Thats right, i even enjoy the “tough days” when I’m at my shitty job because happiness doesnt have to be reliant on external forces. Sometimes all you need is some perspective and then you can see which things are silly to feel bad about. Sure, getting screamed at by an angry customer sucks but fuck him/her. Nothing so insignificant is gonna ruin my day. I’ll brush off the small pains so i can save my pain threshold for the big ones like the death of a family member and I’ll enjoy every small happy moment to the fullest along with the big happy moments. I’ve discovered my own code and it feels good to know where i stand with life.

Given the way it was designed, it is functioning as it must. It is hell for the sensitive.
“Given the way it was designed, it is functioning as it must.”
This is profound and succinct. Extrapolation fills in the details.
I wish I’d said it first. 😉
Gee, i can’t possibly imagine who could be behind all of this https://youtu.be/iEeSPc5oTcM

Preach!
