    Everyone here should be pretty satisfied with their life. We all have internet connection, most likely aren't starving, and probably have somewhere safe to go to at the end of the day.

    Obviously, our lives aren't perfect and we all have problems, but personally, I'm grateful to say the least.

    It could be much, much worse.

    • I never really liked that arguement. While yes there are people with harder lives and far less aspects of life to enjoy that others do, that doesn't mean people with those aspects can't not be satisfied with their lives.

      Just because we're not experiencing the worst of something does not mean we aren't experiencing something bad.

      Kind of like if someone was raped. You can't just say to them "Well think of it this way. People have been murdered or raped and murdered, so you should be satisfied that you didn't get murdered" because rape is still a terrible thing to endure.

      Hopefully I made sense in my ramblings. Lol.

        I can see where you're coming from, and you ramble very well, lol. I actually agree.

        I did mention that we do all have issues and I'm not saying we can't acknowledge them, but I was speaking generally about everyday first world problems.

        "ohmahgerd i didntt even get to get tha eyefone 6 pluss i only got eyefone sixx i hat mah lyfe" (Maybe not this childish but you get the gist.)

        Obviously that is irrational and there are bigger problems. Rape and not getting the newest technology are completely different, and I'd like to assume everyone has the common sense to realize which is worthy of real grief.

        It all really comes down to what scale we're looking at, and what we're comparing it to.

        • I get what you mean and I do think you have a point to a certain extent, like if someone is crying over there not being any more of the shoes they were planning to buy in stock and then being depressed by it. So I get what you mean. You might not of intended to present your point the way I seen and responded to it due to how I interpreted it. So it's all cool. :)

          So I think I get what you mean and agree with what you explained here about first world problems. :)

            True, I could've worded it differently.

            Well, that was the most civil disagreement I've ever had. Not much of a disagreement anyway, lol. xD

      When you put it that way, our lives are beautiful! I've thought about that many, many times as well. Many people have to fight just to survive and that's something I don't think we can fully understand because we just don't know what it's like to literally have to "fight for your life."

      We tend to focus on what's going on in our own surroundings. When we don't measure up I think we can't help, but feel depressed. Even though there are much bigger issues in the world.

        Yeah, and even though we don't fully understand, it's nice to appreciate our lives sometimes. :)

          I agree, we should feel blessed and thankful rather than being ungrateful all the time. It can be a good way to look at things because it keeps our attitude positive no matter what our circumstances may be and having a positive attitude is everything.

  • My life will not be a happy one until I see the downfall of capitalism and the establishment of internationally connected federations of united workers.

    I've made quite a few horrible mistakes in life, some of which I've not spoken about on here, but maybe I will in time.

    Right now, I feel like everything is turning around for me, and I'm extremely fuck off happy. I feel like I have so much to look forward to and be excited about. I'm hoping everything works out.

    • I think I know one of them. >:) Unless you mean something else. I recall you sharing something briefly on here a while ago. Not going to say it though just incase it's one of those things you don't wanna say on here or have people know about until you want to.

        Oh, it's ok lol. I don't really wilfully avoid discussing things about myself on here, it just tends not to come up, and I feel a little weird inserting it into the conversation...but I don't mind at all : )

        • Well either way I think I remember you briefly bringing it up and never saying it again since so I won't say anything about it anyway. Not my place. ^_^

    Thankfully, I could never be that stupid or that selfish. So, to sum up, no I dont for the most part, like my life. Decisions I have made for whatever reasons, they were not the best. They were made because I didnt want to have to grow up and have to be the responsible person I should have been. If life had a reset, hell yes, I would have pushed the button. Anyway sorry I ranting, having a not good week today.

    I really have day to day checks if I like it or detest it. I know that seems extreme, but I remember about age 19 when I was home on leave from Navy, I did not want to go back when leave was over. Depression had reared its ugly head, and for 35 years in and out, up and down emotional state. The hard part- I actually have a good idea why I cant seem to shake it. But early on when I got out of the navy at age 27, where within the previous 6 months I had been trying to come to terms with how I was put in a position that actually allowed a rotten bastard to take advantage of me in a time when I actually trusted his position of authority. I have spent more days and nights trying to justify my actions and his than I care to remember. In fact for years I had almost forgotten, until the V.A. sent me to counseling. By not ever really learning how to deal with or process my emotions, I need to be able to forgive him, and then move on. So even since 1987, I have allowed that point of my life to bring me down. I hate that. It lead to years of drug use and medicating myself so I could go on pretending to be "Fine". In the movie Vegas Vacation, Chevy Chase asks the dealer what he can do with x amount of money. He tells him " I dont know, buy a bullet and rent a gun".

    I wish I had super ninja powers. I would spend all my free time flipping off of stuff and doing a bunch of other ridiculously unnecessary things just to walk to the store and back.

    I have an issue with my life that I am having deep and severe trouble with and my finances aren't too great.

    Aside from that, however, yes, I like my life.

    I am thankful for my life , appreciative but at the same time not happy with the progression or cards currently . It may seem contradicting but it's not , they are two separate feelings that co exist .. I don't feel it's wrong to want more out of life .

    Yes, mine is a good life. I may complain about some things, but it's a good life. I am happy most of the time. Sure, some things suck, but overall, I like the life I live.

    There are decisions that I made that I really REALLY wish I hadn't made. Despite that, I guess like my life.

    Overall I'm pretty happy with my life. I'm surrounded by family and friends who on the whole are a joy. I seem to be in a stretch of years where I've hit my stride in my work. And for the most part I've grown into someone I'm happy to be. Oh, I might want to change some minor details of my life, and there are two middling-to-remote acquaintances who are quite difficult and I wish I didn't have to deal with them at all. But for the most part my life is as good as I could realistically expect it to be.

  • Not really a fan of my life. I'm too apathetic towards most things available that are positive to enjoy life and I don't have any aspirations. I don't feel like I even have a point. Aha.

    Absolutely. I'm having a grand time. Our income could be slightly larger, but we get by OK. Who on here wouldn't appreciate a bit more money coming in?
