Stop thinking about shit.

Right now.

Yeah, this world is full of pain and misery and injustice.

Why are you thinking about it?

Think about the simple pleasure of noticing how special a single blade of grass is, or maybe, how nice it is that cats exist.

Roast a pork shoulder, pull it, and offer some to your neighbor. The secret is low and slow, with a lot of onions and cumin and olive oil slathered on the skin.

Take some time to appreciate the fact that the sky exists, and is easily viewable from nearly every point on this planet.

Not every problem is solvable, but you can enjoy attempting to solve things, and even if you don't solve them, it is really good that you tried to make the world a better place.

Everything will End. And that shouldn't worry us.

Tell me.

you're absolutely right. this is what I was trying to convey to you the last time we 'spoke.' I am stoked this mindset has made its way to you and you are embracing it. The only way to help anything is to first help yourself.

here's to you, my brother.

The Psychiatrist wrote him a series of prescriptions

Well, you have anxiety, so I'm going to prescribe you with a low dose of Xanax for that, and depression, so let's try Zoloft. If that doesn't work, we can switch to Lexapro. And you also have mild ADHD. You'll get 80 MG of Adderall per day.

Lol btw I didn't administer a single diagnostic test other that you talking to me, I'm totally freestyling here

80mg adderall is batshit insane for even an adult male that's fit.

You don't think about the bad things.

You think about how to fix the bad things

And how to punish the bad people.

You goto your local fishing store.

Buy a small boat, a rod n reel, some bait, super glue and a few beers.

Find a jew to bring with you for conversation, and advice on what fish are kosher.

Be sure to leave the Jew in your car while you get the boat loaded but forget your beer on the dock, wouldn't want them to do any manual labor

Toss your change from the boat purchase a d any other coins up so they land in random places on the boat, super glue them where they sit.

Ask the jew to point to point to Israel, aim the boat that way for good luck.

Start up the boat. Point out the coins that seem to be scattered around your new boat.

Throttle up a little, cut the steering and throttle cables

Oh shit you forgot the beer. Going to have to hop on to the dock and grab that beer before you untie from there.

Crack open a beer and wave good by.

You've discovered the beginnings of all Eastern mysticism.

Basically, 1, all life is suffering,

and 2, it's best not to think about it.

Now you need an orange robe.

Thumbs up 👍 Do something you enjoy, as often as you can, unless you're a pedo, then kill yourself.

The best part about being a pessimist is that you're either right or pleasantly surprised.

Roast a pork shoulder, pull it, and offer some to your neighbor.

Bring some to your neighbors Moshe and Mohammad.

Bring some to your neighbors Moshe and Mohammad.

That doesn't mean they won't eat it (and enjoy it). Just that they will feign anger.

Hypocrisy is really just the unintentional variation humility: How we admit we're human because human nature demands it, whether we try to or not.

Shame is really just the mental footnote god put on his creation, and the note says

"Work in progress."

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
