The most frustrating thing about this life is to constantly be held back by events outside your control.

Being obliged to wait for who knows how long for the results of every single significant action you produce to make your and others' lives a happier place is beyond draining.

This life keeps emptying your soul and numbing your spirit until you're ready to give up, only to throw you a bone a few seconds before you finally lose the plot, so that you can keep on keeping on.

How can one be truly interested in a life that's only guaranteeing constant suffering as an over-sized main course and ridiculously small crumbs of happiness as a side dish (and only sometimes...)?

How do you sustain happiness against indifference?

I hope to find the answer someday. And until then, I'll keep swimming against the current.

You can't sustain the happiness, that is why self-help is a huge business in the US. Although it is only in the US that unhappiness and depression are viewed as bad. Many other countries view depression as normal. You are normal, I am normal. Strange? Depression and unhappiness leads to some of the most creative endeavors. I have to admit that my best artwork is done when I am angry. You just have to find a way to channel the current.

That said, I should be an extremely productive artist and I'm not. Sometimes life really is debilitating.

Which is precisely the reason I don't do it. For one I'm not that selfish. And secondly, the main reason I'd let that happen - let's just say for the sake of argument - is because my luck is so blasted awful. That being the case, why should I expect even my suicide to go off without a hitch? whatever
