i'm too much of a coward to end it myself, directly...it's not that i keep going for any reason, i am just here until i get a chance to leave...

in times of adversity, and in times of joy, i see it this way: life is temporary. you either believe in an afterlife or you don't.

if A: there is an afterlife, then whatever you do on this spinning ball of dirt wont make too much difference. no one will care if you were the CEO or the janitor. no one will care if you were fat or mr olympia.

if B: there is nothing after this, then, whatever you do won't matter at all. no one will care etc etc....

what makes adversity? when shit don't go like you want it to. well, when you are miserable, when everyone is against you, when you are facing seroius adversity, remember....in about 50 years (could be 50 minutes, you don't know, do you?) it won't matter. you fuck up at work. so what. is anyone gonna care 6 months from now? anyone gonna care 1 year from now? is it gonna matter when you die?

NOPE.

so, whatever has you down, if you look at it in the long range scheme of things, so fuckin what? some things will haunt you until you die (why did she leave me? why am i not attractive? why do i suck at everything i do?) but really, does the guy who she is with, the good looking guy, the guy who is good at everything, are his accomplishments gonna mean anything in 80 years?

NOPE.

don't be nihilistic about it, but put it into the long range perspective...enjoy what you have, what you can now...

sorry for the rambling...i could go on and on about this...i've thought about it for many years....
