So, the catalyst for this thread then. :Cthulhu2016: :SCCSA: The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. - HPL |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73093738 United States 09/30/2016 05:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm only 26 and trust me there is plenty I wish I could do over. - Hanging with the wrong folks, getting in a truck accident where I broke my neck and back. - Not taking advantage of my real youth in getting my education, 18-22 years old. Now I am stuck at 26 earning my bachelor's degree. - Working at a pointless IT job for four years, when I knew it wasn't going to go anywhere without education. - Getting too involved in politics, I realize America is eventually doomed. Pretty much a permanent downer, because I love what America use to be. To be honest, though. I think everything happens for a reason. I met the woman of my life, no shit. Love the hell out of her. I'm much more intellectual then I ever was, because I think since I am doing my education now I can separate the bullshit from reality. As with anything. After a near death experience you really do learn to appreciate the little things. Walk outside, enjoy a nice day, go fishing, do something new, change you're perception on things. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71594995 United States 09/30/2016 07:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder if regret is one of the major self created demons of this reality? When regret is brought into the equation all of the beautiful colors of life dim just a bit. Happiness is just that farther out of reach. The rules of this reality are a little bit harder to understand. And it just snowballs from there. |

I don't think we're meant to be slaving away, passing the majority of our days at work or trying to earn money to survive. How is that living? It's not. That is a waste to me. If I could find a way to move away from all of this, I would. |
