It doesn't work for me, I wish it did as it would be easy to look at most of the world who are in a worse situation. |
Unfortunately, recognising others have it worse than you doesn't make your own problems go away.

I get where people are coming from with regards to viewing others misfortune and struggles in life to help them feel better with their own lives.
But I'm with MC to a degree, in that seeing too much struggling, devastation and heart break just leaves me sad and depressed that there's so much shit in the world and often to un-deserving people.
On the other hand, I like talking to people and hearing about others who's lives are possibly much better and fuller than mine or ones with big families, lovely kids and people who are socially happier and more content.
Its hard to explain, but as someone who is unable to have kids and though I don't feel saddened by this, it's nice to see friends and people I know who have amazing kids, wives, husbands etc and get so much more out of life from the little things and all the moments and experiences of raising a family and making lifelong memories from days out, or doing stuff with their children, or just seeing the happy faces and reaction of their kids to stuff like watching animals at the zoo or cars at race track etc etc. It makes me happier in my life and relationships that there are other people living really happy enriched family lives and by and large loving every minute.
Hope that's not make everyone puke their Sunday roast out though? |

I absolutely agree that it is better in general to be spirited and positive, and I spend a great deal of my time being exactly that sort of person, nauseatingly so I quite often think my personal brand of infuriatingly cheerful does most people's heads in
But sometimes life even gets to me.
In general I prefer being a happy-hippy-chirpybirdy type than to be a mizog. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Focus ST It's likely the lad bought a nice(r) car and thought to hell with insurance. I don't have much sympathy as I drive an old mans car specifically for this reason... also I waited until I was nearly 30 to get it.
Maybe if I lived in the middle of nowhere and a car was the difference between getting a job or not then it would be different. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 58 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
