I want to know why the world in general falls apart anytime everything finally seems to be going right? =:)

Murphy's Law.

Lilith

well, when something is falling apart for you, then it's probably going good for someone else in the world.
You'll just have to wait your turn... so take a ticket and get to the back of the line.

They're calling #45923...
and I have #90267.

Here's some good philosophical advice too:

"When the world gives you lemons... make lemonade!"

It's not so much what you're dealt as how you deal with it.


Lilith - likes lemony stuff

Uh, I just want to know if I ever get my turn.. ?? for everything to go right, that is.. Actually would be thrilled of just one thing would go right!

Sod's law more like.

Still you know what they say. When life gives you shit...

make pancakes trag?

i dont get it...


asking why things fal apart doesnt seem philosophical to me, seems more like common knowledge to those of "average" intelligence.


know why?

its my fault.

everybody knows it at the other boards right rise, trag, seraph, ti', sandy? and whomever hangs about...

just watch lil, if i keep posting, this world will be decimated and all shall be consumed by the great and fiery chasm that lies within, the hell of, non-existent yet, still symbolically utilized in proportion to pain and torture sense, [of] hells,
the great beast...

yes ill shut up.

*hides in the corner and welcomes the whip*

Damn! And i'm #609873... Guess i'll be waiting a while.
Oh well, i wasn't expecting anything good to happen to me anyway, it's not much of a dissapointment, just sad realization. hehe. Archannus is right though, it's common knowledge, the world hates us, and it wants us to suffer.
Everytime you think things are looking up for you, all of a sudden you get a big pile of shit flung into your face and you come to learn that that's about as far you'll get to being happy, or at least these are my expiriences.
Think of the last time you've been truly happy, whether it be love, an event or whatever. I can only recall one time in my life i've been truly happy, the only time i actually felt absolutely grand every day as it went on, but then life just had to fling that pile of shit at me, but not only just the shit in the face, but an all-out ass-whoopin' to go along with it, and i lost it (her) and every damned day of my fucked up life the wounds burn and torment me. I had a friend who killed himself for getting dumped by his girlfriend, i used to wonder why would he do that because she dumped him? Well, now i know why, and i know how he must have felt, and i've thought of it many times, i've had the knife ready, even cut, but i'm still here, and i'd rather live with the pain than just die, MAYBE things will look up, heh. People say things will look up, they say you'll find someone who mankes you feel the same or even better, that's all just words, do they have any sort of effect or power? No. Do they hold any sort of truth to them? If so, the feeling will be short-lived. In short, life has taught me that when things look good, they're not.

I think waiting for things to happen to you is the wrong kind of approach. Passivity like that doesn't always work, and Prince(ss) Charming doesn't come riding up like in the movies at the perfect time.

If you look at the people in this world that are most happy or successful, they've generally gone out to get what they wanted, not wait for it to come to them by chance and fortune. So go out and grab life by the balls and squeeze till you get what you want ;o)

As for the girl situation, yes saying that something better will come along is a cliché, but it can be true. Again to a degree the 'go out and grab life by the horns' thing applies too.

I think one of the better clichés I've heard was "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". And it does, just as long as you don't allow it to drag you down and learn what you can from the past and take it with you towards the future.

But sitting around waiting for things to come to you or happen to you isn't going to work, life doesn't work that way, and life doesn't owe you anything...

As with most things, it's down to one person... You.

True, i try and "go and get 'em" but it's hard in this town, which is why i must concentrate on a job for now, Eck.
I like your anologie though "Grab life by the balls and don't let go 'till you get what you want" funny and true. ;P
But anyway, things are going slow, but at least they're going, hehe. The wheels are in motion.

Well, I'm not sure what you thought I meant with "go and get 'em" but what I was trying to point out is that unlike the movies or tv, things don't just come to you or happen to you... especially things you want or good things. You have to make it happen for yourself, cause nobody else will.

Having received principally the backhand of fate during my life, I have learned to be suspicious when anything seems to go too well. I'm always waiting for the smack down.

I prefer to make things work for myself on my own terms.

Nothing else is reliable except for what I make of it myself.

Having trouble adapting to your chaning enviroment?
No need to worry, your peers are here to help. :!

HA !! Life is beautiful!!
there is no such thing as shit you couldnt possibly have seen coming.

If It fucks up thats cause you werent paying attention
???

I find that the good balances the bad. LIfe can suck, but you can't sit passively around waitin' for your turn to get head. Alot of times the problem is people don't get out of apathy long enough to get what'cha want, ya know.

And, things can, definitely, smash you blind-side. My girlfriend, after turning 18, suddenly started with severe pain in her wrist and shoulder, along with shrinking feet (size 9 to size 6). As wel as that, her hand changes hues, her knuckles turning a faint purple. She might have fibromyalgia- a incurable disease that leads to swelling of the fibrous tissue of the body.

Yeah, that was a blind-side, alright
