That video always makes me pretty damn happy. The Korean part is hilarious to me.Duruznik said:
"All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
For this example I will assume you are a white middle class man.
First off do you understand how lucky you are to be alive? Out of all of history your ancestor banged your other ancestor and so on and so forth until your mom and dad were born. Out of millions of girls in the world your dad chose your mom. Out of millions of guys your mom chose your dad. If either chose anyone else you wouldn't exist right now.
Out of billions of sperm you were the one who came out on top.
You could have been poor.
You could have been a woman in a time when they had no rights.
You could have been a black slave.
But no you were born here and now. You're lucky to be alive and even luckier to live a comfortable life instead of fighting for survival everyday and you think you have the right to complain? Get the fuck over yourself.

Actually ignore my original post, you tell me what makes your life so incredibly shitty and I will provide examples of people I know, maybe even some of my own experiences, that are many times worse, this way you'll have something to look at and say "Thank god I'm not in that situation," if it turns out I don't have a single example worse than what you have to offer I will admit life is terrible and shitty and I will lead off a fucking bridge.leet_x1337 said:
Your move.
That never makes me feel better about my life. It doesn't make my situation any better - it just adds a shitload of guilt which makes me feel more shit about my life.Bags159 said:
OT: Impossible. I'm afraid you've hit a dead end on that road
Ah, the "Why would I want to live in this shitty world" phase.
I just went out of that phase.
We can't really convince you otherwise, it just comes with time.
Also, you're in a home using a computer, most likely with food and water available.
Hmmph, White People's problems.

I did try but I've only made other people's lives worse. I'm just a loser with no life and I can't even change that. I'm weak.Kurokami said:
I don't think the world is a terrible place like mr. OP. It's just my own fault that I'm terrible and I'm a douchebag, and I don't blame the world or anyone else.
Money makes life better, study and get money otherwise life keeps sucking, trust me.leet_x1337 said:
Study something that will get you a job that is tolerably boring. The exciting jobs rarely pay.
Then you can own a house and get wasted a lot to forget the fact that you are really just cattle, being raised to provide sweet money milk for people who are already too rich and don't care about your life at all.
Don't watch the news it will make you jaded
Is it night where you are? If yes, go outside. If it's not cloudy, look up.leet_x1337 said:
See that? That is the Milky Way Galaxy mon amie. You see all of those pin-pricks of light out there? Those are stars just like ours. (Though not all of them are a Class G star, but the idea is the important thing) Our star, the Sun, is what keeps you and me and all of us alive.
All those other stars though? Current estimates say that one in three of those stars have planets. There is no reliable way to know if, or if so, how many of them support life. Statistics would seem to say that since we are here obviously there must be more life out there, but we haven't seen it yet. Besides that, there are the moons of Saturn and Jupiter, Titan and Europa (Respectively) which may or may not have simple life on them, but we don't know that for sure either.
This planet here is unique. Earth is the one planet with surface water. This planet is the one that received that spark of life, either from your deity of choice or a complex reaction of chemicals in the early atmosphere. All kinds of social, geographic and political mechanisms have kept the human race going longer than anybody can count, (Unless you are an anthropologist but I'm making a point here) and from every single one of those 2^n factors clicking in the place in just the right order, the world produced you.
There has never been anybody quite like you. There will never again be somebody the same as you. Your genes are the result of 3 billion pairs of chemicals determined at birth. Everything you have ever done in your entire life or will do in your entire life influences you even further. The number of possible combinations is staggering and essentially impossible to calculate. This same thing applies not just to you, but to me, Bags159, dyre, LarenzoAOG, everyone else on the Escapist, everybody else on the internet, and everybody in the entire world. All 6 930 000 000 of them. (And counting!)
Now, answer me this. If this world Earth was as terrible as some people make it out to be, why would all the odds be stacked in our favour so that, after 14 billion years in development, we could arrive at this day today? At it's best, it's amazing. At it's worst, it's fascinating. Don't waste 14 billion years, go out there and live.
yeah, the world is shit. there are way too many shit people who make others' lives shit, and they made deals with everyone else in power so they can keep doing said shit. you are not in one of those situations however, so thats a big plus right there. there is plenty to enjoy in this world too so, its hardly worth complaining about.
i know where you are coming from though, i had about a month where i thought the same thing you did (i used to fluctuate emotionally ALOT, any feeling i had didn't last long. ever.)
so here are a couple of examples of things which don't suck.
kittens/puppies/ infant animals of most species. easy as hell to find since you have internet.
the internet, though it is a lot of everything good and bad..... but mostly porn (joke)
TV. yeah a number of new shows are not interesting, same with movies, but there's plenty of good too, and if you bother to look for the old good stuff, even more.
beds without bedbugs, and soft sheets, and pillows, and covers for the pillows just so they are easier to wash/keep clean.
plenty of beautiful art/music, an example of which i can actually provide even in my very tired state (frigging insomnia... thought it left me alone years ago, but i digress)
and then even just the silly fun to be had on the internet, games, forums, videos, and music.
one of my favorites
and of course, bacon (not for the easily disgusted, just a warning)
and one last thing. praise jesus, God, Yaweh, Allah, Muhammed or whoever you may/may not worship you do not live here.

No I'm not going to link you any of these things, do it yourself.

Life is tragic, what do you want from random internet people? Some will tell you life is amazing, some will joke about it, some will say life sucks, yes the world we live in is very bad, but it wont get better by sitting around feeling bad about it.
Put it like this, in your own perspective your life sucks, but think over this one. In your city, or the nearest city to you, there will be people who lack even the basics like running water and food. You likely ignore them, pretend they don't exist. You'd never think about buying them a sandwich or a drink, you'd never think about holding a conversation with one. They are faceless and invisible to us. Compare your life to that. Now tell me your life sucks.
In the Steam MLP group, I've been gifted three games by awesome people that hang around there. I've also gifted three myself.
