Why People Are Sad

April 28, 2007 · 1 Comment

You should click through to this great post I found on Reddit. The paragraph below describes a lot of people’s problems and the rest of the article critiques the most common (and incorrect) solution.

It’s a bit depression, but at least it is honest. Glad that it’s not me.

Modern day Americans are often trapped in lousy, disappointing, soul crushing careers. If they are not divorced already, their marriages are on the rocks. They live far outside of their means, rack up thousands of dollars of debt, and then they work overtime to pay for the toys they never have time to play with. They dedicate their lives to pleasing ungrateful children who won’t amount to much more than they did. Hours of their downtime is spent in front of the television, switching from reality show to reality show, because it is easier to watch other people live life than it is to live their own. In a rare moment of creativity, they might write a secret out on a postcard and send it to a website because they don’t have a single person in real life that they trust enough to share their fears with. They feel all of this on top of the usual human maladies of sickness, death and grief.

    This Is Way people do suicide because life sucks in every-way-shape and form, IT’S NOT THERE FAULT SOMETIMES OR NOT AT ALL THERE FAULT,FOR LIFE CAN BE CREUL,— IT’S THE FAULT OF UNFORGIVING TIMES OF LIFE ISSES OF WHATEVER HADS HAPPENED TO BE OF IT, BUT WE AS HUMANS DON’T ALWAYS MAKE IT THIS WAY, IT A CATCH 22 EFECT.

    I LIFE IS,–IS WANTS AND DESRIES, WITHOUT THAT WE ARE MEANINGLESS SURRVIRLE MACHINES THAT WON’T AMOUNT TO ANYTHING BUT STUPIDLIY FOR NOTHING BUT LINING SOMEONE ELSES POCKEYS WITH MONEY.
    LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU MAKE IT, HOWERE SOME POEPLE WILL DEAGREE WITH ME ON THIS, AND THATS OK TO, BUT EVERBODY IS ALOND TO CHECKOUT WHEN THEY HAD TO MUCH PAIN, BECAUSE LIFE REALLY SUCKS NO MATTER HOW YOU CUT THE PIE, OR THINK ABOUT IT RATIONALY, OR REASON ON HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER, IT ALL COMES OUT THE SAME, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE, OR HOW YOU DO AT ALL COSTS OF YOUR LIFE, OR SHOULD FEEL LIKE IT’S BETTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT SOME DAY YOU WILL GET TIRED OF IT, JUST LIKE EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET. LIFE MY BE FUN FOR A WHILE BUT HOWEVER IT WILL CHANGE LIKE EVERTHING ELSE DOES.
    IT VERY HARD TO TRUST POEPLE THESE DAYS BECASE THEY WILL STUB YOU RIGHT IN THE BAD FOR YOUR MONEY, FREEDOM, HEALTH, BRAINS, LOVEING-KINDNESS, ETC.
    I ONLY SHARE MY FEAR WITH RATIONAL THINKING POEPLE WHO UNDERSTAND ME WERE I COME FROM ANYBODY THAT WHATS TO PATERNAIES— ME IS NOT WELCOME,— ALL WHO ARE RATIONAL ARE WELCOME ALWAYS FOR THIS TOPIC.
    WE ONLY HAVE SOME MANY YEARS TO BE HAPPY AND IT’S NOT MUCH AT ALL.
    THE BEST SOLUTION, IS DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, SO LONG IF YOU DON’T HURT ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, BECAUSE MY WAY OF HAPPINESS MY NOT BE YOUR WAY OF HAPPINESS BUT AT THA SOMETIME RESPECT IT, AN WE CAN ALL BE HAPPY SOME TIMES IN OURS LIFES.
    DO WHAT IT TAKES WITHOUT HURTING ANYBODY IN LIFES STRUGGLES, FOR YOU WANTS AND DESIRES.
