AH MY LIFE f**king SUCKS :CUTCUTCUT: Options

I know we've all said "Life sucks." before.
But the thing is, everyone feels as if "life sucks".
I hate how some people think that their problems are so superior to other people's problems. I do that. Like my problem is worse than everyone else's problem. I mean, everyone's all "well, there are other people a lot worse than you are." and i agree, there are. there are the people who have diseases and are fighting for their life to live, and then there are the depressed whiny bitches who feel they have to suicide because they can't go on with life anymore.

but honestly, i know it's shallow and self-centered, but i don't really care about those people. those people that i don't know and are in worse off conditions than i am. how am i supposed to help them? i can't help everyone with their problem.

bah.

and i know we're all "depressed" at one time or another, but do you feel bad for those people who are? i mean, there are the real people who are really diagnosed with depression, but everyone's been depressed at one point or another and the only person who can help you is yourself.

sorry, rant. just something that went on with me and my friend and it got me pissed. i don't know if it belongs here or relationships so i'll keep it here.

Emmie, not you. Heh.
I meant an IRL friend.

I don't think everyone believes life sucks. I, for one, am pretty content with life, and never say that it sucks. It has its down points, yes, but I'm better off than most people, and I'm content with that.

The issue of concern for others is an interesting one. I used to be a big advocate of trying to "save the word", from everything from hunger to violent crime. The fact is, the world, overall, is a harsh place--but to say it sucks is an overstatement. A lot of bad things happen in the world, but a lot of good things happen, too. Just because people choose to focus on the bad, rather than the good, does not mean the entire world sucks. Yes, bad things happen everyday, but overall, my life is pretty good.

My philosophy is this: rather than trying to "save the world," people should just worry about protecting themselves and those important to them. That sounds selfish at first, but look: everyone has someone that cares deeply about him. If you simply care for the ones you love the most, then everyone in the world would have someone watching over them.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't do little things to help, such as donate food or clothing or try to cut back on pollution, but people often think on too grand of a scale. So yes, I think if a people would worry about themselves and those closest to them, the world would be a better place.

In terms of depression, I think it is disgusting the number of "depressed" people who draw attention to themselves and create bad name for people who really are depressed. It makes it infinitely harder for such people to seek treatment for their disease. Overall, a lot of people in the world are a bit too melodramatic.
