life can suck ...


but i think for anyone here - who is at least doing well enough to have access to a computer, let alone food and shelter - life is pretty good.


when i think of people who can truely say in the purest sense that 'life sucks' i think of starving people in africa and india,

i think about a villiage girl getting stoned to death because some men raped her and she got pregnant,

i think of some tribesman that got captured by another tribe, sold to a white man, then got thrown overboard along with dozens of others in the same situation so the slavers wouldnt get caught supporting the slave trade after it had been made illegal.

i think of people who scratch out an existance - experiencing nothing more than the average animal ... people who havent experienced anywhere near the quality of life that a neglected housepet in noth america enjoys every day.


i know everything is relative ... but for anyone who is at least within reach of a computer with the leisure time to post about horror movies - life doesnt 'suck'

Life can be tough at times ... but all of us in this position (the benchmark i'm using) has had a quality of life far better than those who's life truely does suck.

we all have the power to make it better. be it 'sucking it up and getting over it', or getting support from fiends and family, or even seeing a Dr. ... there is no excuse for anyone here to go on thinking life sucks.

I fucking love life. it hasnt always been easy for me - it isnt now - getting old is a bitch... but i'm determined to enjoy every second of my existance as much as i can. if something comes between me and happiness, i deal with it immediately. I want to be happy, have fun, and enjoy my life to the last possible moment.


sometimes just putting things in perspective can help a lot.
