    And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.

    I am pretty negative, I expect things to go wrong pretty much all the time, but I don't think life sucks because I'm proven wrong fairly often.

    You can talk philosophy or whatever this is all you want. The bottom line is, we're all going to fail because someone wants us to, unless...

    Apparently I'm a highly competitive defeatist.

    I'm going to lose, but everyone else will lose worse than me.

    I wouldn't call it looking on the bright side, but I've definitely learned that most people just let themselves get upset about stuff.

    Life ain't bad. Sure, it isn't perfect, but most of the time, I have just learned to let it slide.
