sadly, i understand

So that's why I do a lot of drugs and I just live my life day-to-day. They say be responsible and get a good career so you can pursue the American Dream. But you'll just end up with a mortgage that you cant pay for, a job that sucks, a wife you cant stand, a bunch of fat ungrateful kids, and a society that will tell you that you arent good enough.

And if you are able to somehow make it --- that wife of yours is gunna run off with some a-hole and take half of all your shyt cause thats the law.

Fukk this world, ya'll. Do what makes you happy. dont have kids. Be yourself and dont trust a gawddamn soul.

I stopped partying, met the most wonderful women, Married almost 25 years(she same weight as in college, when she modeled) worked my ass off, built a career,equity, equity in real estate, had two skinny ass kids who work hard and have high self esteem, and pretty much still having a blast all these year traveling and great family moments!

Still had that heart attack and by-pass but thats genetics.

You know, if my time was up I'd be happier than most and it was a good life. I told this to my wife when they took me off for surgery but it was "just in case". Didn't want her to think I did not appreciate it. My "procedure" was pretty routine but it does make you think.

You know, if you have a **** attidude you gonna have a **** life Sebby! Mine turned out much better than I thought. My prospects out of high school was not that great. Why? Liked to party to supress what hurt. Things were not always great growing up

Phuch the world and the world will phuch you back. you get out what you put in.

I'm glad things have worked out for you. There are always exceptions to the rule.

But lets look at the divorce rates in this country. Household debt, suicide rates...depression. I think that has more to do with the pursuit of the "American dream"

And finding people that respect someone that is a good person and has a positive outlook is almost needle in a haystack status.

I'm cool with my life. I just learning not to trust or believe in people and its working.

Kick off drugs a few years and you'll realize your retarding your emotional growth and coping skills. Allow the pain to be felt and you'll not fear. Being afraid is not reason not to try.

Don't compromize yourself by not trying......

'Preciate the advice, but I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

I'm not strong enough to take the hurt and I think society rewards the worst.

Divorce rates are high because people either get irresponsible with the wrong people and have unprotected sex, get pregnant and feel like they have to get married even though they have no business doing so. Either that, or they feel pressured from family and society and get married when the opportunity arrises and don't take much time to get to know their partner.

We are in debt b/c of irresponsibility on both the governments part and also the people of America. With the people of America part, nobody talks about it because it will trigger a public outrage, but it's really true.

With the depression part, well it's everywhere.

Sebstar, I hope you can work things out though with whatever you might be facing it in life. I mean that and you're in my prayers.

Much respect my brotha...Mutual.

Seb, you know Im your man (pause), but thats one of the saddest things ive ever read. How can you possibly enjoy life with a perspective like that? Listen bro, I know you got your package in life, but we all have burdens to bear. Just giving up on happiness, trust, faith, giving and all the other good stuff in this world isnt something I can comprehend. Ive been thru more then my fair share of crud and I feel confident enough to say that to anyone but if you let it turn you into a cold-hearted statue, then youre becoming part of the cycle. Live your life, trust others as much as you can, even while knowing that they will let you down. If you dont enjoy the ride before the fall, then whats the point of it all? You might as well not be alive at all.

I appreciate ya'll's perspectives, but I'm from the camp that love doesnt exist. The heart is a useless organ only designed to set you up for the biggest of downfalls...Fool me once shame on you...Yeah, I'm not getting fooled again.

Just look at the majority of success stories --- the biggest a-holes. They dont care about anybody but themselves.

Kindness and empathy and compassion are seen as weaknesses. Its better to have not loved than to have loved and lost. I believe that. Even worse to get embarrassed and humiliated and made to feel --- well, I dont want to get too far into my personal but I cant do that shyt no more and I dont have the makeup to take it. Just gotta completely harden the heart and keep it moving.

Dont trust again and keep everyone at arms length and you cant be destroyed. I've learned the ultimate life lesson. You gotta take that lesson and react to the message. Thats what I'm doing.

I'm just going to go hard in life and if I check out before forty or even thirty, I'm more than fine with that. Just what needs to be done.

I'm good.

(hope this doesnt come across as whining or self-loathing, it just is what it is.)

I respect what you're saying. I don't know how the specifics so I don't know how bad it was. I do know when it's bad like that though it usually is because you were tender and vulnerable, which made the sting worse and the jading more noticeable.

Having been there and resorting to the same tactics, I'd encourage you to approach the future with love in your heart. The hurt will be worse now but you grow back better and stronger. You'll evolve as a person instead of shutting off parts of your personality.

Don't lie to yourself and say you'll never think of her. Or that she doesn't matter. Because you will and she does. In time the nature of the thoughts change. In my case, adjusting my handling of the situation taught me something and I'm at peace

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty. If your cup is full may it be again.

Appreciated. I have read your posts and shyt was deep, but I think there are different realities for different people and personalities.

Much respect to your perspectives. I think ultimately you and firefly and Nalod are right in your approach to life. At least its the most healthy and fruitful. Just not for me. :)
