I really hate it too when people judge others by their own standards. Everyone is really different so what comes easy for one person does not necessarily come easy for others. I am one of those people that you might consider unlucky in the lottery of life. I was born to a set of parents that were utterly toxic and as a result I am a mess and I have mental health difficulties that I am trying to deal with. I am 40 now and I'm still recovering from that childhood. People are forever judging me and looking down on me because I struggle to get the pieces of my life together. These people are lucky that they don't have my genes, my background and my messed-up brain wiring because I doubt if they could even survive one day with my head on their shoulders. People should thank their lucky stars and concentrate their efforts on telling themselves "there but for the grace of God go I" instead of wasting energy on being judgemental of others. There seems to be too many people out there that lack empathy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282250142670354942.post-38183200874577895092011-12-27T01:29:54.799-07:002011-12-27T01:29:54.799-07:00I agree with you that when most people say "I...I agree with you that when most people say "I hate my life" odds are they're just having a bad day (much like people will say "I hate you" when they actually just DISAGREE with you), or their life is 90% good for them and there's an annoying 10% that's out of their control, keeping them from achieving a more perfect existence. Take me for example: I am a tall, white male living in the United States, I have a full-time job with benefits, a loving wife who would literally take a bullet for me, good health, two fuzzy cuddly cats, a three bedroom house and no children by choice. On top of everything else, I usually have adequate time, money and inspiration to fiddle around, create my artwork and blog about it. In short, I've got it fairly good by most people's standards and yet I still find myself slipping into a "*sniff* *sob* *whine* Life isn't worth living!!1!" kind of funk every time my job requires me to work a 6 or 7 day week (time and a half on Saturdays, double time on Sundays). Even with the weekend overtime snag, I quite sure there's plenty of people out there who would gladly kill me and take my place if they could. THOSE are the kind of people who are more near the threshold of TRULY having a difficult life and have much more of a right to say "I hate my life", not douchebags similar to myself who's greatest daily difficulty is dealing with the responsibility of being employed and the resulting ennui it induces.<br /><br />Of course, the "life/spinach palatability" quote you cited (which I wholeheartedly agree with) does throw an annoying wrench into the whole existential crisis thought process. Everyone is different, living a different life with different advantages and disadvantages. One needs to determine whether or not life is worth living for themselves and ONLY for themselves. Sure someone can say "I can handle MY shitty life, you should be able to handle YOURS." but they're being deliberately close-minded and judgmental for the sake of a dismissive simplicity.<br /><br />As for pop culture trivializing and over simplifying nihilism or philosophical thought, I'm not sure there's anything else that's even possible when it comes to pop culture. If it isn't a catchy, upbeat, easy to remember slogan the "popular mind" doesn't want any part of it.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765694914848450608noreply@blogger.com
