A Rant on Life

[derF]

This is a refreshing change from all the usual s**t that gets posted in the forums. I like a good down-to-earth topic every now and then.

Well, im under the impression that this topic is about Life and its ups/downs highs/lows and heres what i think.

I generally love my life. When i see people worse-off than me (like people who have issues and BIG problems) i feel very lucky. The important thing for me is to be happy in life, so if theres something bothering me i tend to tackle it rather stubbornly. Also, there are times (like once a day) where i enjoy thinking deeply so i can be totally honest and truthful with myself. This lets me easily decide how to tackle problems.

Important things i have learnt/been taught:
----------------

1. "Are we to survive or are we to live?" - My uncle.
2. "Clarity of mind, provides clarity of action" - Myself.
3. Set nothing in stone.
4. Everything dies, so theres no need to fear it.
5. Respect all who deserve.
6. We are insignificant specs within the unfathomable vastness of space.

Sorry if this is off topic but what picked you up? Floyd I guess....

Music did play a part, but there were other, rather...unpleasant events which also contributed, upon which I'd rather not elaborate. I don't want to steal Capo's thunder, anyway.

I am actually quite surprised to see people have had similar unpleasantness like I did. That's really refreshing. Usually people can't relate to this. I guess people who play this game are more intelligent then the average populace though so I quess it makes some sense.

same here, upon hearing froggys story the first time (which was quite a while back now i think) it made me realise my experience wasn't so bad in comparison, the difference is the friend who betrayed me and got almost all my year to sign a shall we say special certificate for me, he is the reason i have the great friends i have now and i got to see my revenge played out in school. It was worringly satisfying.

Ive gone through very tuff times, Im only 15 and last year my dad took his life. All I have to say is just move on, everyone here has said the samething about moving on and Im touched that alot of people have gone throught stuff like me, I used to be picked on and beat up, until one year I grew tired of it and hurt that kid very badly, I never felt better. Violence is not the key, but it does help. My English teacher told me this qoute last year, it may not apply to anything here, but it is a very good qoute to live on. "No one has to do anything in life but die" It is very true, one of the truest things Ive ever heard.

(I dont think truest is a word lol)

Perservere Capo. Just try to ignore the source of irritation. Avoid when possible. Evetually you will fell less bad and by that time perhaps you or he will have changed. And even if you don't in taht time frame, you will adapt such that he will no longer bother you. And don't let this problem destroy you.

Shottie- I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You are right, moving on is the key. And that's what I do. However, there are times, such as these, where you cannot move on yet. However, these are my problems. Sometimes, I wish I could just let it all out, just take it out on the next person to screw with me. But I can't. I know, my life isn't the worst, there are many people who have gone through more horrid situations than I can imagine, and made it through. God bless them. I can't. Perhaps you all have heard of the philosipy, the weak must rule the strong, well, I am the weak, and the people I must rid myself of are the strong. And, the only thing I can do is become stronger than them. And I swear, right now before you all, that I will.
God bless you all. You have been a great help to me.
