• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think?

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

I think I had a revelation of sorts about my life.

What I mean by "revelation" is that today I was thinking about myself and my life. I thought about how tough life has been to me, about all of the jerks that are apart of my life, and about how they treat me. I have always wished for life to be easy for me, but now I realized that if it was any different, that if it was "easy", then I would be a different person. I would be one of the jerks that I mentioned. I wouldn't have friends that actually cared about me. And with that said, I'm glad that I have this life.

Uh, I wasn't sure where to put this, so I chose this forum. If it needs to be moved, then just move it.
 
That's an interesting thought, Yoshi.

So did this make you happy or sad? I'm pretty sure it's happy but I can't be sure.
 
Yes, its happy. I like who I am, and I don't want to be any different. Of course this won't stop me from occasionally getting mad at some petty little things or from me feeling bad about myself, but that is just part of life, I guess.
 
Yes, I think things like this as well.

I think: What would have happened if we hadn't moved? I had some friends, I was never going to be a cool, accepted person, but at least I'd have an easy life.

But I'm glad we moved here, two months into year seven - which is basically a recipe to hell. I'm glad we did, because now I feel stronger from the experience. I could have had an easy, average life, like nearly every other child. I suppose it's the same sort of thing to what you've decided.

[/incoherent rambling]
 
I've thought stuff like that before too, Yoshi. And it's really true, the really difficult stuff that we face in life is what makes us into better people (or worse, depending on how we handle it).

Sometimes I wonder how many of the people with 'hard' lives actually have hard lives.

Most people who claim to have it badly actually have relatively nice lives, with maybe a few hard bumps in the metaphorical road. Because humans tend to focus on negatives, they say their life sucks because of these bumps.

And then there are a few who actually do have it hard. Like those in third world countries. But they usually don't grouse about it.
 
Maybe you guys could stop being all technical about this and look at the issue at hand. Life is always hard, bad things always will happen, and they always shape our identities and world views in one way or another (Which happens to be the point of this person's thread.). Quit trying to initiate a debate over semantics or act as though this person is complaining. To make the best of the problems in life and see what they have done for your benefit is a very good thing.
 
Yeah, it's cool when you go through things that you find awful and difficult to deal with, but make you a more experienced and tougher person because you learn how to deal with them. Good for you, superyoshi.

Some things might seem easy to deal with to some people, but it's possible that that's because they either haven't experienced those things, so they're underestimating how difficult they can be, or they just happen to be better equipped to deal with them. Either way, it's great when people learn how to deal with something they wouldn't have been able to deal with if they hadn't gone throught it.

i'm pretty sure I know people who have hard lives and grown up the wrong way

and even though I wasn't a perfect kid I'm pretty sure many people are off way worse
 
superyoshi888, if you really were meant to have "a hard life" you would live in a third-world country and you would have not eaten in a week. guys: if you have attended/are attending/will probably attend college, you are one of the luckiest people in the world.

I'm not saying tough as in "Will I die of starvation today?" tough, but rather tough when compared to the people who tease me and all. But then again, I don't live their lives so how would I know?
 
Let me say one thing.

You guys are not making this any better. Yoshi had a relevation. And telling him that there are people starving in third world countries really isn't going to do any good except make him feel guilty. Sure, sure, it's terrible to think about them. But really, just talking about the people starving isn't going to help neither Yoshi nor the actual people themselves. In fact, if you're all so worried about them, why not go donate something to a charity? Try to help these people get better lives, hmm?

Now, I'm glad you had this relevation. :3 It's a nice thing to realize, hmm? I... I know what it's like, to be treated so badly by jerks. But to find out... that somewhere this cruelty had done something to make you you, it must be a good feeling. Because you've had to endure it, your entire life. And now to know that it was worth it... it wasn't just meaningless, it did something. It made you who you are today! I'm rambling, I know~
