Miserable People


Who bring the rest of us down can GO FUCK THEMSELVES. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ˜ 

The rest of us don't have the time for their self-pitying, narcissistic, misanthropic, 'bring everyone else down so they can feel as BAD AS ME' nonsense.

Honestly, I wish they'd all just die on the spot. Waste of fucking space, the lot of them.

Les Misรฉrables?

But which version?

reply

No, just the word. It sounds like "The Miserables" to me but of course I know it's French. A bunch of miserable people? I've never read the book or seen the musical.

reply

Poor old Lester Miserables, everyone forgets him.

reply

Funny how French sounds nothing like it's spelled - LAY MEE-ZURR-OBB

reply

Well, that got dark quickly. Ironically, you sound miserable in a post complaining about miserable people.

reply

I know...but that's the problem with miserable people. Misery rubs off on the rest of us. That's largely why I resent such people.

2 HarveyManFredSin - what's your view of the world, humanity in general? Are you a black and white thinker with rose tingled spectacles? Or do you see it in complex terms, and definitely NOT like in movies ala action movies and fairy-tales, where good guys win and evil gets it? Are you a forgiving or a grudge holding civilized or even angry person?

Should men and women be treated the same or differently for similar actions including morally and in our minds? And can we not get too carried away here please, harsh reality of any kind notwithstanding (and mentally, I walk on bloody tiptoes here. Lol.)

Can you ever be 100% happy all the time? And if not, is that alright? And is it also alright if it doesn't matter to some if it is or isn't alright - but you all know who I am and what I am like so I will ask it anyway?

Does food, films, music, computer games either save us or enrich our lives?

Is daydreaming, constant wondering, asking questions one suspects answers to - trolling? Or a respectable form of unpopular but acceptable wishful thinking?

Does free will exist? Or even FREEDOM? Or human rights - NATURALLY? Thanks.

My view of humanity is complex. I think most people are fundamentally well-meaning, rather than *evil* but the world/society is a fragile place, and our mistakes all have a butterfly effect that inadvertently harms others.

I'm definitely not a black-and-white thinker. Clearly, some crimes are beyond-the-pale and unforgiveable, but I don't believe anyone is 'born evil'. Evil is usually shaped by poor treatment, rather than readymade.

Not all movies are simplistic. But it's true that some treat the world in a very binary/black-and-white manner, as do fairytales, and I personally abhor that approach.

I definitely do not hold a grudge, but I am wary of people who've mistreated/wronged me *until* they apologise, or at least show that *they* don't hold a grudge against *me*. If anything, I can be a sap who forgives too easily, because it takes far too much energy to hate, and I hate ill-blood/bad feelings. I'd much rather get on with people, but, once again, I tend to keep my distance, unless it's clear that the other person is prepared to be nice to me.

In theory, men and women should be treated equally. I'm an egalitarian feminist. Not a supremacist one. I appreciate that women have different experiences and needs than men, based on their biology and social history, but in essence, we should be moving towards a society that treats us all equally. I'm generally not a fan of moral relevatism.

I doubt anyone can ever be 100% happy all the time. But we can endeavour to be happy rather than fester in misery, and spread our misery to others. That said, I'm usually quite honest with people when I'm in a bad mood. But that's partly to make it clear that my bad mood is *NOT* their fault.

And of course, it's alright to be miserable. Generally, I think people who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, are good people, but there comes a point when you have to acknowledge that simpy feeling bad won't make anyone else feel better...

reply

Kinda thought so too. Lol. :)

reply

...if anything, it makes others feel worse, because people with *real problems* will ask "What have *you* got to be upset about?"

I'm not a gamer or a foodie, but entertainment/escapism is important. I wanted to commit my life to saving others, but I wasn't able to have that type of life. I'm not religious and don't believe I'm going to heaven (or, for that matter, hell), but although I am involved in various voluntary and charitable works, I've been burned from my voluntary work. People have turned against me, and I had to give up my career, in law. So, the only things that do give me happiness/solace is great music, films and literature.

I've been accused of trolling for asking awkward questions, but, suffice to say, *I* don't regard it as trolling. I've got diagnosed OCD and Anxiety, so I constantly need to be comforted, by asking questions. My mind is constantly a whirl.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'wishful thinking' but I see no problem with daydreaming. I certainly don't judge anyone who does so, assuming it gives them comfort.

I personally believe that free will exists, but some neurologists would say that we are all a product of our nervous impulses, and our every action can be predicted and is limited. And, yes, I staunchly believe in upholding certain rights, and treating every human with dignity. I mostly follow the golden rule, although there are some things I'd accept from others, that I wouldn't think of doing to them, not that I want to be mistreated.

As for binary thinking, I'd recommend this article: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-politics/2019/07/why-our-politics-divided-engineers-and-warriors-compromisers-and-fighters

Suffice to say, I regard myself as an engineer/compromiser, rather than a warrior/fighter. I don't see the world in pure black-and-white terms, and I believe most of my 'enemies' aren't evil so much as misguided, or simply people who view the world differently to me.

Iโ€™ve been lucky to know mostly good people, they handle relationships and unexpected property emergencies pretty well. Itโ€™s always going to be a dead clothes washer machine, a leak in the swimming pool, a blown engine on a yard toolโ€ฆNo way to avoid it

Itโ€™s always best to laugh the indignity off and handle your business in the face of the Universeโ€ฆlet them all know there is no quit in you.

reply

Watch Michael Haneke's "The Seventh Continent" (1989) about really miserable ones, lol.

reply

Wishing someone or groups of people would die is not healthy.

I hope you get the help you need and I hope you have the courage to seek it.

I suggest taking a break from the internet as I bet you never run into the people you believe exist on the internet in the real world.

reply

I haven't wished death on any specific individual. Miserable is subjective. But I think people who knowingly drag others down with bad vibes, need to take a good long look at what they're doing.

For a guy with a weird ass handle you have some cool insights:)

Read Jack London's short story "Moon Face."

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1089/1089-0.txt

I think it's only like 10 pages long.

Heh heh heh...
