do you ever feel that the world is geting on top of you?....sort of like...........fuck it i wish it would end sort of thing..
i was sitting here the other night thinking,if i just had the courage to go through with it it would be so simple.
no more debt,no more problems,no more shit from neighbours that dont know what harmony and peacefull living is..
hey thats my parking space,or that music is to loud,your children broke my plants with a ball..
kids playing and neighbours say,to much noise,or wife trying to relax and next door peering over fence eying her up...
we live in a world where sometimes it might be better to be dead?.
in this day and age where"personal space" rules,do we really want to be living in a bowl?.
there are many things better in the world than this,,,,,,,,,,,,like living in the rockies,north of scotland(glencoe oooooooooo perfect), but we mostly live in towns and citys wher the tosser rule.
bastards that say ,hey turn it down or watch where your going.
this is a life that is going nowhere and a life that is sad.
kids and adults today dont know or dont want to know the meaning of,self esteme and the pleasure of being polite to others.
me myself had been brought up to help others pensioners,, or the people who need more help than others.
today i helped an old couple 70+with there shopping from the taxi to there door,the taxi driver sat in the car( i was not in the taxi just passing by),the lazhy bitch taxi driver sat there .
now to me that was nothing,just a normal man trying to help an elderley pair of people,but the taxi driver just sat there.
when i walk with my wife of 25 years i walk on the outside,when my kidss do wrong they are corrected(please thank you etc).
do we now live in a world when its better to say.hey motherfucker than thanks for the help,,,or when we dig our neighbours car out of the snow they thanks or ,i hope you didnt scratch my car while doing it?
it really is a case is it worth it????
we live in an age where it seems its better to say..........fuck you rather than say thank you
or an age where if you offer to help neighbours they see some other motive.
so sometimes its better to wish for some other life than this,a more released life where these things dont happen..
in short....is there a better life away from here.........a gun,rope,poison.....unsure here but one thing is for sure......
todays world and todays kids need to learn respect...
life is what you make it. you can exist, or you can live.
you can change your surroundings. you can get the better education that leads to a better job or better location. you can change yourself to gain a better social status.
(from nice guy/doormat to great guy/confident leader).
life is hard. but you appreciate littler things when its a little easier.
its monday, look towards friday. in other words, make a light at the end of the tunnel. you were born in this era for a reason. if you dont like impolite people, show the bastards how its done. if you dont like where you live, move. if you dont like your job, find a new one one way or another.
nobody said it was easy or fun, but its all possible.

Not only is this horse-shit, but it's way off topic. Didn't your God give you the ability to offer just one bit of wisdom to someone who's clearly not having the best time?

Exactly, "unsure".
We have no idea what is beyond this place - if anything. What we do know is that we can't change others but we can change ourselves and the easiest way to do that is to realize how miserable other people are making themselves.
I worked in customer service for a while and my first caller one morning was in rare form. Obnoxious and vulgar. I did my job, trying my best to stay calm so I could get her off the phone without yet more hassle. When we finally hung up, I was shaking from anger and had to force myself to let it go so I didn't take it out on the next caller. I did that by realizing that caller was going to harrass everyone in her path and I told myself that was fine. If she wanted to be that way, then she could have the bad day. Not me. I know how simple that sounds but I was not going to let her lousy attitude affect me, my job or my other customers. Instead, I tried to treat the rest of my callers with extra care, making up for the shit I knew that woman was putting others through.
I find myself thinking of that situation whenever someone pisses me off. I have to stand back, detach myself from their issues and remind myself not to let their bad day affect mine.
You can't make others more respectful. You can only be respectful to others - and to yourself. If there is an afterlife, it'll no doubt have it's own set of challenges for us to deal with. Until then, we owe it to ourselves and the people who love us to be the best we can be. Hopefully, that attitude will help surround us with more like-minded people who appreciate a more civilized existence. For the others? Let them have the bad day. Not you.
Things get tough, especially this time of year, when everyone is stressed out and under financial strain. But remember too that there are good and beautiful things in life. Hopefully ur polite and respectful ways will brighten someone else's bad day -- there have been times when i was having a horrible day and someone was polite/nice and it did cheer me up. And many ppl dont like the rude agressive way that society has gone, so i'm glad there are ppl who are willing to speak out abt it and stand up to be good people. But one day things will seem brighter then they seem today. :)
Bad days...I have had my share.
There have been times when I felt so low and hopeless that the sight of sundry strangers smiling or laughing irritated me and made me so angry..."what is there to be so happy about?"
But such days go by; they come back every once in a whie, but so do the good times.
