Let's Not Be Cynical

[River Otter]

Hi! I'm sort of new here, and I've been a long time reader. I'm not a frequent poster, but I rather do enjoy the community here.

Anyway, I see a lot of critical topics dealing with how bad life or people can be. What about the positive? What are your experiences with good things? It can be something as large as a life changing event, or something as small as someone holding a door open for you. What with the world being the way it is, everyone has to have something small make them happy throughout the day to keep them going.

I'll start: I've been keeping a rather large log of puns I say day to day. Apparently, I don't pay attention to the little Dr. Seuss-isms that fly out of my mouth often. Looking back though, I always get a great laugh from them.

People suck and we're all going to die eventually.

EDIT: Also, Unicorns aren't real.

Everytime I get a text message, friend request or party invite, I feel warm and fuzzy inside. Also everytime a girl talks to me unprovoked, it makes me want to scream from the highest mountains.

 

[River Otter]

Yes, people can suck, but why bother being miserable about it?

Actually I noticed this as well. Many people on this forum seem to have...er...this outlook.

I don't know. Maybe, because I'm only 13, I haven't been exposed to the horror that is life. But so far, I haven't exactly seen pure evil in most people.
I had ice cream today and it was delicious!

People aren't pure evil. They just suck.

And despite what you might think, these thoughts get me through the day. If I look at life in a depressed manner, every little good thing seems twice as better and I don't take those moments for granted.

Sadly... YA RLY.

finally,someone who isn't swinging a balled up fist at other people for having different opinions, I'm also getting tired of everyone saying "life/everyone sucks...",appreciate what you have and be happy to be alive.
On topic, I have a friend who I love spending time with. She is the only person I hang out with who doesn't scream ass/fuck/shit at every three seconds.

I do understand that. I've done that in many games of chance.
And I'm not saying it's not an equally valid outlook. It's just not for me. I keep that for dice rolls.

Well, my view is that people don't suck, they are just generally stupid or ignorant. There is a difference...between stupidity and ignorance I mean.

Life for me is pretty easy. I've got a decent amount of money, the ability to go a good many places, and a lot of things to amuse me and pass the time. I don't have trouble making and keeping friends, and I'm pretty close to inner peace. There isn't any success or incredible pride in the odd jobs I do for change, but I'm happy with keeping things in moderation. As long as I have the necessities and somewhere where I can sit back undisturbed, I'm fine. Life is good and I'm enjoying it while it lasts, as one would a nice cup of hot tea.

 

[River Otter]

Technically, if that outlook gets you through the day, then I say continue down that road.

 

[River Otter]

Sorry for the double post, I meant my previous comment to the ones who said people suck.

Life is terrible, I yearn for the day it ends.

I do, however, have two best friends that prevent me from becoming a depressed lunatic again.

I went to the doctor's today and I need to take medication for my migraines. On the bright side, I'm still alive, and it isn't that serious. You see, when you look at both sides, it puts things into perspective.

The only thing that keeps me from going on a "the world sucks and so does everyone in it" murder rampage is my shotgun. The only reason why i'm happy, shotgun. The only reason i haven't lost TOTAL faith in humanity, shotgun. People have these dreadful outlooks on life for a reason and those reasons are mostly true or great. Oh and how dare you ask people to find the good in their existence. Thats just wrong.

I know, it's just unfair. What about the poor chump(read: me) who has almost no good in their existence?

I don't even have a shotgun

I just don't know how to finish this.....
