...... get a life ..... [mary's bLog]
slap in the face.
I'm sick and tired of your sulky crap about how melancholy life is. The idea has been worn out, my friend. We're all well aware that your perspective on life is of hopelessness and empty vaccuums. Quit complaining; Stop wallowing in your self-inflated agony and strife if you're going to do absolutely nothing about it. What good are words and thoughts if they're not put to good use? Recognizing the pressures and influences of society are worthless if you continue to live your life exactly the way it was before you knew. There is no difference between an immobile man and an immobile man with ideas. I'm repulsed by you.

Can't you see? Life is beautiful. Life is a gift of God, not a right. You never deserved any of this. You never deserved to see the orange leaves on trees in fall. You were never guaranteed the fresh smell of pine during a walk in the woods. And who promised the priviledge of joy in holding the soft hand of the one you love?

You have been offered a brilliant bouqet of flowers, yet you're complaining that the stems are too long, nagging that the icing on your cake is spread on too thin, whining that your free 100,000 dollar car doesn't come with matching leopard seat covers.

Just shut up and be thankful, stupid.
