What is life but surviving? It may take the edge off of "surviving" if someone changes their view of the world. Someone who is fundamentally optimistic is significantly happier and less stressed than another who is pessimistic. Surviving life is no excuse not to fix yourself. We all struggle with something.
@zen00 Some people can have everything and have nothing at the same time. It all matters on how the person views the world. A fundamentally pessimistic person will see every turn in life as negative. "Oh f**k, I'm not dead. Too bad." "The world is shit because I don't have Cheetos."
It is easier to roll with the negativity because you won't have to work at life as you would if you try seeing things positively.
"My life sucks, and it will always be that way. I tried a life for a second and nothing went my way. The world sucks because it doesn't bend my way at first try."
There are many ways to work at your life and giving up is not one of them.
There are those who actually enjoy feeling sorry for themselves, too, they want to play the victim and bask in pity.
@darkice You can be a planet where evolution and change happens or space around the worlds where the dark emptiness expands. I can see you've made up your mind, though, which is sad. Pessimism is such a creative block.
@darkice That is your perception of life, your reality. Mold it the way you want to see it.
@ansi That may be an excellent way to keep yourself going, and in a lot of ways it is in human nature to compete to climb the ladder faster than others, but reaching for the impossible is our downfall. Everyone will be better at something.
