Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsLife sucks ... again, and again
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
Until the last syllable of recorded time
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools their way
to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life is but a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an Idiot
full of sound and fury
Signifying Nothing.

(34,136 posts)Life plays funny tricks...You see what happens in life is this - something bad happens to you and you say Oh God, look at this bad thing that just happened to me.
Then you figure its over and it will all get good again but then what happens is another bad thing happens and then you say Pffft, that was a surprise. I mean, two bad things in a row but I guess thats it for a while cause I just had my quota of bad.
And then what happens is some awful thing happens to you like everything gets taken away from you and you say Pfft, well, thats it, there is nothing else that can happen - I lost everything. And then life plays its funny trick - you die.

It tricks you into the life game and then spits all over you.
It tricked me into thinking that living was a good thing and falling in love and creating new life in the form of 2 lovely daughters that are fodder for the life machine. Life is a terminal disease and sometimes suicide is an appropriate treatment option treatment option. I just wish I had not been suckered into developing a life -such as it is - and relationships, loves, connections, and responsibilities to all of the above that would be unavoidably negatively affected by this option. There is the rub, as the good prince would say.

(14,275 posts)That only makes the highs that much higher. The sweetness that much sweeter. The moments of kindness that much more treasured.
So in the moments it doesn't suck - it can be really awesome!
