Well Batman is a brooding, dark, unpleasant and creepy individual to be around.

Oh.

Ironically, I'm currently in what feels like a lasting epoch of happiness -- the first one is, say, north of 5 years.

I'm trying to save them from future disappointment; when they realise how hollow their ambitions and plans really were.

You're never going to realize how ridiculous this sounds.

It's not ridiculous at all; it's an unfortunate truth of reality that you'll realise when it's all too late.

An important and truthful message, but I just think there are more adroit ways of going about that. You're not going to get anyone on your side by calling them stupid for not wanting to be miserable like you and me.

Probably. But I don't think I need to explain to you how frustrating it can be to argue the same thing, over and over; to say the same things, over and over. And get nowhere. My patience is, unfortunately, not limitless, lol.

Besides: it's worth noting that this is in the Flood, so anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. Notice my "I am the absolute truth." post on the first or second page.

However, to levy that angst over everybody else and say, "This is how everyone else should feel, too," is just a little bit silly, and it comes across as petty, and vindictive, and in a way, jealous.

I have nothing but the best intentions for everybody here. I'm trying to save them from future disappointment; when they realise how hollow their ambitions and plans really were. Because by the time they realise that, it'll be too late.

Edgy

It's not even remotely edgy to say that humanity is shit.

No, not everyone is an edgelord that hates themselves.

People should hate themselves. I certainly do. The first step to bettering ourselves is to come to terms with our sinful (shitty) nature.

This is one of the most miserable ways a person could live.

Life sucks and then you die. Deal with it.

That's the mindset you have when you need a job. I'm talking about a career.

I don't make the distinction. These days, people change their career like they change their clothes.

Quote
If you hate your career then you chose the wrong one. There's nothing else to be said.

And if there's no "right" choice?

Quote
If all you get out of your occupation is money then you won't have that occupation very long.

Tell that to literally every person who has ever worked ever prior to, say, 30 or 40 years ago.

You guys can come up with all this shit to justify the spending of thousands of dollars on a post-secondary education, but in 15 years when you're stuck doing the same thing for what seems like endless hours, day after day, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Do what makes you money and gives you time to do what you love.

Why don't you like me? I'm quite frankly a very likable person so I'm genuinely curious of your reasons for thinking so low of me

Your persona is ignorant, rude, uninterested in intellectual conversation entirely, and stubborn. For example, today in my same-sex adoption thread in Serious.

"You won't be saying that once you get sent to hell."

What kind of an idiot says something like that? Brother in Christ or not, I thought that was extraordinarily dumb.

Not to mention you seem to always pick the opinion that everyone else has already moved passed in order to "bait" people. It's one thing to hold an unpopular opinion, it's another thing entirely to convey and argue it in the manner that you do. That's why people like myself don't take you seriously.

Ummmmm I'm a great person

So explain what you mean by this

If you're anything like your online persona, I don't like you and think you're a low-quality human being.

Of course you're not going to enjoy working if you have anhedonia. You're not going to enjoy doing anything if you have anhedonia.

I'm glad you agree with me.

Quote
Why would you choose a career you loathe? That's stupid. "I know I'm going to hate coming in here and doing this activity eight hours a day, but I'm going to apply anyway!" What the hell kind of thinking is that?

Yeah, I'm sure that's the mindset people have when choosing jobs. Not, "I need to make money to survive." Besides, my overarching point is that you grow to hate any job you have. Work is fucking work, it's not meant to be enjoyable.

You college kids get so pissy when I talk about this, my god.

if you aren't going to enjoy your career then don't choose that career.

You say this like it's possible for everyone to enjoy what they'll do; it isn't. Those of us who suffer from anhedonia or something similar are left in the dust.

These people are the exception to the rule; most of us loathe work and would rather be doing something else.

Learn to separate pleasure from profession. The two don't and shouldn't mix.



That's right. The secret to a happy life is to do what you love -- on your own time.

That is entirely subjective.

No, it isn't. My word is absolute; objective; final. Anyone who speaks after me is wrong. Objectively. My thoughts are the only legitimate truth in the universe.

If you want to enjoy life, they should.

If you wanna talk about what life "should" be, well, that's an entirely different conversation.

Very true.

Though I am getting better. Not wanting to kill myself at every moment in the day, so, progress and such. :)

I mean, I would marginally enjoy writing music more than I would enjoy flipping burgers. But at the end of the day, I'm still not doing what I want; I'm not there because I enjoy it, I'm there to receive a paycheck.

It's not work if you enjoy it.

No one enjoys work, so if your work is what you enjoy, you'll stop enjoying it fast.
