It's Time To End Misery

People are supposed to be logical creatures. We're always saying it's our brains that separate us from the animals-- well that and our thumbs-- and while it's true we're always in search of knowledge, I don't really see why we get the honor of being deemed "logical". I have never observed creatures more disorganized, disgruntled, and disillusioned. Put lemmings aside for a brief moment and I think we're looking at the most ridiculous species of all time. Adults are always worried about money. Even if they're worried about divorce they're really worried about money. Even if they're worried about their kids they're really worried about money. Even if they're worried about sex they're really worried about money. And the ones that don't have it don't need it. Not in this country anyway. Four year olds have cell phones now. I saw a 14 year old with a smart phone glued to her face. I didn't get my first cell phone until I was 18 and it couldn't do anything but dial. So she isn't worried about money. She will be once her parents stop paying. For now she worries about stupider things.
Can everybody stop pretending their lives are so damn important? Think about this:
Your parents get divorced. You're either over 18 or you aren't. If you're over 18 then you're legally an adult. You're off at college or you've got a job.
So get over it. The grief you feel over the dead marriage ends quickly. If you're not out of the house... would you really want her/him to stay? Would you want to look at their faces, frozen in endless misery and hidden desires, every time you sit down for dinner? Would you want them to be pushed together until their arms puncture each other's chest because dislike is telling them to push the other one away?
I said get over it.
think about this:
6 million children under the age of 5 die of starvation a year. It's the oldest lesson that isn't said enough.
Be thankful for what you have.
Don't do it because you settled. Don't do it because you were told. Do it because it's better than being miserable.
How hard is it to just be in a good mood?
Let it go people. Nobody gets out
alive anyway.

It doesn't matter if your parents every loved each other. It matters that they don't now. They don't deserve to be corned just because you don't want to deal. Nobody does. Including them.
