Life is pretty freaking sweet

I'm in a job I love.

I'm surrounded by amazing people.

I have a roof over my head and food in my belly.

I earn enough to pay my bills and have enough left to live comfortably

I may be stuck in on a Friday night but I have cold beers, a pizza on the way, and Lost on the TV.

I'm beyond content.

I love you, GAF.
 
Right back at you bro.
Most people in our era have pretty sweet life all things considered. We have good food, places to stay, entertainment, fun, fewer diseases killing everyone and peace for the most part. Almost all of us will be happy if we learned how to be content and just see how much misery some people still face (and most people faced a few decades ago).
But its hard in our current era of social media, comparisons, competition and money mindedness.
I am glad you are happy :)

I'm glad you're happy. Personally, I'd really love it if my life were maybe twice as good. Hopefully a lot of things fall into place over the next few years.

Social media is indeed a drain on our society. I deleted my Facebook and Twitter a while back, and not looked back since. It's full of negativity and fake news. I'm far happier since getting rid of it.

Why so glum, chum?
 
Good that you acknowledge it and get a feel of satisfaction.

It is important to not lose sight about the things that matter.
 
My wife was born in a refugee camp after escaping war. When I start feeling sorry for myself I remember how lucky I am to have her and my kids, and am so grateful to have a home and family and good job. It can be a struggle sometimes but so many have it immeasurably harder. I'm blessed!

Damn straight, brother. I know I mentioned money but, honestly, all that matters is good health and good company.

Money is not unimportant but as they say it alone won't make you happy. There are even statistics that show that at a certain point of income you won't feel better.

But yes as you already pointed out what will it bring you if you are sick or alone.

People nowadays seem to be obsessed with so many things that is nice to see someone who values things that seem normal for so many people whereas they are not.

I have a friend at work who has problems with his gastrointernals. They cut him open from top to bottom in some crazy surgery. Whenever someone at work is complaining about a minor issue he lifts his shirt and shows his scar.

Instant silence afterwards, every time. Really gets you thinking.

I definitely agree. Things aren't perfect but I am so grateful for my job and everything I have. Things weren't always great... I used to be homeless and on drugs. But all I had to do is keep trying my best and quit being selfish, and everything else fell into place.
 
Nice.
Same here. Job I never thought I would be good at but I am and it pays good!
Great wife that also don't want kids !
Own flat
48" lg c1 connected to 3080 pc and a ps5. Fuck me, I don't need anything else :p

Been learning to ride electric unicycle for last 2 days and I don't know if it will work out :P

Just turn everything around and you got my life... *lol*

But everything bad that happens to me is literally out of my control (Politics, Pandemics, Shitty stuff happening) and thanks to politics iam still in debt with 14.000 euro.

I literally suck up all the bad stuff in life right on time.

Let your wife delight in your embrace.
For these alone are the concerns of man."

Just what you reminded me of
 
I know the feeling. I have all the things I could want. I can't complain about my life.
And considering how much effort i've put into it (which is barely any), I guess I can say I'm very successful.
 
I somehow missed the boat when it was on TV, but I just finished a binge watch of Lost the other day and absolutely loved it. It did lose steam and go off the rails a bit at the end there, but I still enjoyed the final season/finale. I'm not entirely sure what people are talking about when they say to not even bother watching the final seasons. That's nonsense, if the cast of characters has grown on you, it's well worth seeing it through to the end.
 
I'm a self made man on my way to being rich; my wife is hot.. she loves nothing more than to have me go fuck another girl and then come home and suck the juices off of me. I can order any drug to my door at any minute of the day and a cartel guy will show up w/ that shit. My job in the end is actually incredibly easy; it's a lot of "responsibility" but mostly just make good decisions and then dick around on the internet all day often getting fucked up since this work from home shit is so glorious.

It's good friends.. it's good.
 
i fucking hate it. i got a good job, a roof under my feet, and food in my ears. but depression/anxiety make it all unbearable. i really shouldn't have a reason to be "sad", "scared", or "angry" but i am. my brain is fucked and feel like i'll have a breakdown at any moment. if i wasn't such a fucking coward i'd have been dead for years now. life is no fun and i wish it would hurry up and end. i don't want to die because i know how good life could be...but if this is the way i have to live then it makes me wish i was dead. i've tried getting help but this has been going on for 15 years now so i don't really see it changing no matter much help i get.

Hmmm, right now:

- I have a job that I like
- girlfriend that loves me
- my own flat
- I'm healthy as far as I know...
- PS5 on a way ("shipped")
- PC with 3070 and 5600x

Objectively, everything is great. But thing about life is that this is for... now, and somewhere in the future everything can fuck up :messenger_grinning_smiling:
 
Man, things soon went south in here. To all those suffering right now, hang in there. Your time will come. Life will get better, I promise.
