You have a wonderful way with word...Wonderful post. You have a wonderful way with words. And you make so much sense, too.<br /><br />I hope the writer gets out of whatever depression he is in and wakes up to see what he's been missing. I doubt this guy is actually suffering. He probably has a roof over his head and food to eat. He isn't in a war zone or living without electricity or on the streets. Take a close look at what some people have to suffer through and stop complaining.<br /><br />I don't ever remember when life was a bore for me. I am like Alex Trebek who said, that he is curious about everything, even things that don't interest him. <br /><br />And as one gets older, time really does fly. The worst thing for me about retirement is that when one works, it takes forever to get from Monday to Friday. In retirement, it's January, and all of a sudden, it's September. Where did it go? I have friends who won't retire because they don't know what they would do with themselves. Hey, read a book. Get a hobby. Go for a walk, Volunteer. Take a class. Join the Peace Corps. Teach literacy. Help a neighbor. Volunteer to tutor at a school. Plant a garden. Join a Meetup group. Adopt a cat. Watch an old movie. Learn a language. Really, there is so much to do ---and much of it costs almost nothing ---no one should ever be bored with life. No one should have the luxury of so much wasted time.<br /><br />(Sorry, your rant got me going.)C Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053858627632648020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-32726254040033607502012-08-31T13:13:28.633-04:002012-08-31T13:13:28.633-04:00You're assuming the existence of free will, wh...You're assuming the existence of free will, which I wouldn't consider self-evident. It could also be that "Mr. Bored" has a phobia--or a near phobia--of death, which could, in his eyes, make it desirable to end his life now rather than to go on living in fear. You seem to interpret him as a self-absorbed person whose wish for death dishonors those who want to live yet must die, and therefore makes him undeserving of understanding or compassion, yet in the right circumstances, can you not imagine that you might be in his shoes?Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-79590495433115059812012-06-30T00:02:53.069-04:002012-06-30T00:02:53.069-04:00Sort of sympathise with whoever wrote that on Face...Sort of sympathise with whoever wrote that on Facebook, but I'm guess I'm still young enough to relate to that whole self-centred overdramatic mindset.

I have always felt it is a privilege to be alive and it up to us to make our life worth living.<br />I also consider at times that people write things like this to went out their frustrations, as they do not know any other way. They can also be ill as well, just in a different way from physical illnesses, suffering from depressions and illness of the mind.<br />Have a great week dear friend,<br />xoxoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-82738553582401187572012-06-11T00:18:31.356-04:002012-06-11T00:18:31.356-04:00I really hope someone close to that person challen...I really hope someone close to that person challenges them - they may well be in a place where they can't see a reason not to jump.

It's impossible to get into anyone else's head (which is why judgement gets us nowhere productive) but it's possible to turn a light on in the dark to help someone out. It's one reason we have language - to turn that light on for someone else.

Mostly because it seems like all these people do all day is sit around and try to appear far more hip and intelligent than they really are, mostly by posting cynical and caustic comments like that one.
