If you keep looking for negativity in your life, you will indeed find it.

Life is tough, it sucks. We get let down and hurt continually. Unfair stuff happens. Other people seem to get all the breaks. Everything seems to go to pot all at once.

The way you perceive all of this is how you feel about it. If you see letdowns instead of experience and further opportunity, if you see pain instead of the fleeting bits of happiness, if you see evil instead of all the salvation and kindness, yeah, everything will look and feel like crap.

I'm not religious, but that doesn't mean I can't have faith that people are wonderful, or that there's something I can do to make things in the world a little better for someone, at least. It doesn't mean my time, my life is a wasted existence.
In fact, not being religious should nudge you to embrace this one ride we have. You have to drink in all the good, warm, comfy, secure, perfumed, harmonious experiences you can. Because there is no re-do.
Learn to appreciate the small comforts you have. Learn to appreciate you have people to socialize with, that you have the freedom to speak your mind, that you can aspire and achieve, and change your mind, and enjoy a beer.
Be all that you can be. Enjoy life.
