    If you're so smart, how come the world is getting the better of you?

    I realized the world was screwed when I was in the first grade, in fact I was going to post a thread about it, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

    I was always fair to middling in school, I never agreed with the rules, starting with spelling. Like, what is that stupid "k" doing in knee? WTF.

    Then in sixth grade I took an IQ test and there was some big hullabaloo about my score and I got bumped into the advanced class, we only had two 6th grade classes. I did pretty bad, flunked every spelling test I ever took...as an example, 'cause I really didn't care. But my "old school" sixth grade teacher told my mother that I was going to go to college as she could tell which kids wanted to learn.

    So, somehow, I ended up in college, then grad school, as I learned it's all just a game. Just a game.

    Never liked small talk and gossip, never liked crowds, always hung with the degenerates and low lifes cause they were so much more fun! Then I moved on. Now I just watch the river flow.

    Ya gotta realize that the world is insane, literally, and there is little you can do about it.....so, go have some fun. It's tough to screw up any more than the rest of the jokers out there.

    When you realize how screwed the world is...what ya got left to loose?
    As Janis said, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose."

    Yes, Lynn's right.

    What I didn't add was my "Yeah, I've been there too", but I have been.

    It's looking for that one ray of light when you're laying at the bottom of the pit that will save you. When you see that one ray and start climbing toward it you will find more light. The more effort you put into climbing out of that pit in search of the light, the more light you will find.

    Yep, that's what I said too.

    Listen to the over 50 crowd. Experience counts.

    Generally speaking the world might be insane - but personally my life isn't. If you take the burden of the world on your shoulders - that's depressing.

    There is nothing more gentle than nature.

    Life is easy, confronting our illusions about, is a bitch.

    I have to wonder the extent of your intelligence. If you're so unsettled with the direction of your life, I have to wonder what type of intervention have you attempted to change it.

    Have you taken any sort of college work?
    Word-smithed a resume to find a more challenging position?
    Joined some sort of social group, such as meetin?

    I've always found myself to be extremely socially awkward. I very much still am, but I've put myself out there. It was hard, and I had to make some bold decisions and am so thankful I did.

    But I'm not a supposed genius like Rat.
    I guess what I am trying to iterate is that excuses are lame sauce.

    Some people just have the mind set that they will never be happy and that there is nothing good in the world. I don't get those kinds of people.

    To be honest, I don't think it helps if you're someone who dwells on conspiracy and doom.

    A person has to look for the good things that are going on as well.

    Moderation and Balance in all things. :)

    yes, i agree. but some people, just cant see the good in anything.

    whenever im having a bad day at home or at work, i always remember that someone is having a WAY worse day than me, and they would do anything to be in my position.

    I wasn't speaking of you dwelling on conspiracy and doom, I was speaking of Rat.

    Yes, what you posted here is one way to deal with a bad day.
