Life sucks ... again, and again

[ashling]

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
Until the last syllable of recorded time
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools their way
to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!

Life is but a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an Idiot
full of sound and fury
Signifying Nothing.

[Binkie The Clown]

1. That which doesn't kill you...

...makes you wish you were dead.

2. I has to recite that speech in grade 13. I have a bad auditory memory.

It took me 5 or 6 hours to memorize it. Thanks for the memory.

3. Bert Campbell from "Soap" on life

Life plays funny tricks...You see what happens in life is this - something bad happens to you and you say “Oh God, look at this bad thing that just happened to me.”

Then you figure it’s over and it will all get good again but then what happens is another bad thing happens and then you say “Pffft, that was a surprise. I mean, two bad things in a row but I guess that’s it for a while ‘cause I just had my quota of bad.”

And then what happens is some awful thing happens to you like everything gets taken away from you and you say “Pfft, well, that’s it, there is nothing else that can happen - I lost everything.” And then life plays it’s ‘funny trick’ - you die.

4. For those who believe in reincarnation ...

Life's a bitch - and then you die.

... and then you die ...

... and then you die ...

... and then you die ...

5. Life is a cruel joke

not a funny ha ha joke either.

It tricks you into the life game and then spits all over you.

It tricked me into thinking that living was a good thing and falling in love and creating new life in the form of 2 lovely daughters that are fodder for the life machine. Life is a terminal disease and sometimes suicide is an appropriate treatment option treatment option. I just wish I had not been suckered into developing a life -such as it is - and relationships, loves, connections, and responsibilities to all of the above that would be unavoidably negatively affected by this option. There is the rub, as the good prince would say.

6. Isn't there supposed to be something about "a walking shadow?"

7. Everyone has hardships and worries

That only makes the highs that much higher. The sweetness that much sweeter. The moments of kindness that much more treasured.

So in the moments it doesn't suck - it can be really awesome!

8. Still preferable to the alternative.

Just speaking based on personal experience, of course.
