It is a constant hassle, everything is a pain in the ass, people are fucking awful. The enjoyment is few and far between, and the rest of the time it is a headache and a struggle. And I have it pretty good, I can only imagine what some people go through.
I see people all the time who are so upbeat and have a positive outlook, I just don’t get it. Life is not that pleasant.
When I wake up I can’t wait for my feet to hit the floor. The suns coming up - I hurry up and get ready and go outside and water the garden or feed animals (the way the morning smells is great) Next jump in the truck and listen to some good music on the way to work. I get there a little early and arrange my tools ........
Do you see what I’m getting at? It’s all the little things that make up a day that should be enjoyed.
I guess what you do with the tools for the subsequent 8 hours might have an impact too,
apart from the little things..
I worked in the engineering field for many years and was becoming miserable sitting at a desk all day so I made a decision to move on and try something else with more freedom. Now I do mechanic work on autos. I made a lifestyle decision with my family and my happiness in mind.
shareGood on ya! i did a couple years Mechanic apprenticeship then went to do Engineering at college , got a high qualification , couldnt get a job in it , fell into I.T , got nowhere in I.T. for 20 years - its taking off a bit now though :)
Been hobbying the Mechanics since '92 !
Interest slightly waning but now ive got all the tools a fair bit of skills and big dry space how can i stop :)
Agreed - it's all about perspective.
shareYou haven't gotten it yet. Yes all those things are true. But you have to enjoy the small stuff.
Do you enjoy anything? Have any hobbies?
Stop worrying about things and create your own little world where you know in the end, everything will be ok.
I do have hobbies and plenty of stuff I enjoy, but I spend most of the time wading through the bullshit. I get to spend very little time doing what I enjoy.
shareWhy? Too much work?
In reality we even shouldn't even care about politics or worldly matters.
We have a short time and it should be used more wisely.
Go make money, party at your local bar, create a side hustle, raise a family, go on adventures.
And just a little bit of medical marijuana while.doing this will help tremendously.
Have fun with it
No, it's not fair. Some people are born with more cheerful personality. You can't choose how you're born. Some people are born without arms or legs. Some are born without sight. I have terrible sight myself, so I have to wear glasses all the time, which made me lose opportunity for some things I might enjoy that other people can do effortlessly.
Some people born with lower ability to feel sadness, so they'll be happy all the time. Some other are born with lower ability to feel happiness, so they be depressed all the time. It is what it is.
Maybe you're born like this. So this is how you would feel. Genetics ain't fair. But it's nobody's fault either.
People that say just be happy or just dance or whatever don't know what they're talking about. It's like saying just look more clearly to people who wear glasses. Or just walk faster to people who are limp. It makes no sense.

For me, I suppose it’s just a defense mechanism. I’m pretty chipper for such a miserable bastard. Having a sense of humor helps. You roll with the punches or you get knocked the fuck out.
shareENJOY IT OR END IT...THOSE ARE THE CHOICES.
shareIt's not that binary, cut and dry. You're subtly proposing the third choice you always do, escapism.
shareNO...YOU ARE ALIVE....YOU EITHER MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS OR YOU SUFFER.ANYONE WHO CHOOSES SUFFERING,DOESNT GET THE CHOICE THEY MADE.
shareAgain, too binary of a comparison. Sometimes, making "the best of things" calls for simple endurance, which can be accompanied with suffering. Who in their right mind, apart from a masochist, would choose suffering?
shareDONT YOU MY DINNER WITH ANDRE ME,DUDE!...I WONT HAVE IT...I ORDERED RIBS AND I PLAN ON CHEWING😡

sharePositive outlook + lots of work= good day broheim
