People keep telling me stuff like that – all this binary good, bad, etc… In my experience, it’s more like tumbling down a mountainside. Sometimes you’re accompanied by boulders and rocks and that sucks, but other times, it’s an idyllic roll through green meadows, while other times you’re crashing through trees and getting chased by angry marmots. I dunno if any of it is good or bad, but I’d appreciate being able to enjoy the scenery rather than rushing along to get dashed into pieces by it. Gravity is stupid.
@rivets Amen. Catchy sayings go both ways. Equally valid is the thought “Your happiness will not last so don’t bother.” The only way to approach life is to see the whole picture, ignore the irrelevance of happiness/sadness entirely and look at the facts: everything is temporary, beyond our control and therefore quite pointless. If you’re ok with that then good for you. If you’re not ok, then the solution is at the bottom of a cliff. Gravity isn’t always bad.

I know that feeling all to well, Hope Dream Love. I do understand you 🙂
rivets, you’re gifted with quality rhetoric. You express yourself extremely well. Even if you get to enjoy the scenery, you’re stiil tumbling.
Yeah, I know. It seems like some people are rolling along at a leisurely pace, though. I dunno how they got so lucky.
Very good saying! 🙂
