It's been a couple of days...
I've been busy.

You ever hear that bs: that we create the situation that we are in.

I don't deny that we are responsible for every situation we inherit, yet the idea that someone actually sits down and makes things miserable for themselves is hard for me to believe. You know what I think it is:

People get too comfortable with trends and routines in their life. Not only concerning physical behavior, but cognitive behavior as well. It's easier sometimes - though not in the long run - to perpetuate feelings even as unjustified as they might be. If things are going crappy for a long while it hard sometimes to break that mental state later when things aren't so bad. It's this bitternes about ones own life we call pesimism. Some may argue it's a defensive mechanism, but I think that's bullshit. It ends up being more limiting and destructive to the person then it is inductive.

So the next time you think life sucks, maybe try to look at you situation with a more objective eye... you might see that things aren't so bad.
