[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 580670, member: 22880"] I describe myself as a pragmatist... This is beyond pragmatism, it is cynicism to to the n'th degree. Promised meant to be broken, cheating on spouse, stuff happens, look out for number 1... Sounds like someone just went through a major life crisis and is angry at the world. Been there done that, it isn't how life is meant to be lived. Just because "stuff happens" in life, doesn't mean that people have to accept that "stuff" with a fatalistic outlook. I had to learn the lesson many years ago that the world doesn't stop revolving because I had a major crisis in my life. You're absolutely right, the world DOES NOT CARE about you as an individual. FedEx doesn't care about you as an individual, your ex doesn't care about you any more and to be honest, the readers of this forum don't care much either. I think this is one of those developmental stages that Piaget talked about. It is a fact of life. With over 300,000,000 of us crammed in country, we're lucky to have a handful that actually care about us and we care about in return. With that fact established... We do have the capability to come together and organize to receive better compensation for our efforts. Having established that Fred doesn't give a shake about any of us, it falls to us to act collectively to better our lives despite Fred's opinion of us. Life does suck. Life is also good. Just because life sucks at times doesn't mean that we can't try to make it better. I'm going to go out on a limb and give some advice. Find some cutie that isn't feeling too good about life herself. Purchase the appropriate protection and have yourself a good time. It won't solve any problems, but you'll feel a whole lot better about life. You may even decide that you want to begin to put forth the effort to change things for the better. We all get hurt in life, it is how we decide to act after getting hurt/shafted/screwed/cheated upon that is important. You could also call Peoplehelp... I think the cutie would do more good. Right now, I'd like Fred to experience some of that hurt/.... [/QUOTE]
