TV and social media show us the world through filters there all people are happy all families are structured. But where are the dysfunctional people, the poorly structured families, the broken people and the Suiciders like us?
We just don’t exist but we are everywhere and bet on saying we are the majority in this world.
Everyday is a lie Everyday we live a lie. Every day is the collective delusion of the lie.

I would agree with this post, it is all a ‘lie’. The more experience of life you get the more ‘lies’ you see. I can’t remember who said it but the sentiment expressed was ‘ the world is a tissue of lies’, I could never find a counter-argument against that statement.
there’s no one truly happy. happy families on tv r made by people like us for ppl like us.
most contentment I’ve encountered is merely a case of low expectations. Give someone who has had to fight for life food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, and on average they will be passive or content. Happy is beyond their ambition, they don’t want for anything enough to experience desire satisfied.
Meanwhile, as you say, the rest of us are having a right bloody awful time of it. In my case due to abnormal sensitivity; so long as some suffer, I will suffer. The content counterpart to me are isolated, insulated against even the most minor of miseries present in the wider world. Somehow, to me that would be greater agony, not knowing, not feeling.
We don’t sell. We don’t make money like the filtered, artificial happy people do. Why look at us when happy lies are so much more attractive?
