Alternate viewpoint: We're forged in the fires of adversity. No longer are things easy or handed to us, we make our own road. We learn, teach ourselves, work our passions and figure things out against all odds. We're stronger, wiser and ultimately happier for it, despite outward appearances

Unironicaly fantastic take.

My philosophy is that you can either bitch and whine and moan about how hard and unfair life is, while wallowing in self pitying victim complex forever.

Or you can stop crying yourself a river, roll up your sleeves, and get to work on doing something about it. To make the best of you've got and work on improving the parts of life you aren't satisfied with one step at a time with a relatively clear and focused end goal in mind.

These two approaches are a choice of personal philosophy.

The parts of life I'm not satisfied with are the facts that my country is rapidly sliding into becoming a fascist ethnostate, our tax code is fucked six ways to Sunday, corporations are unaccountable to the law, I can barely afford food anymore because of corporations being unaccountable to the law and our tax code being fucked, my society is being actively destroyed by religious fanatics and schools can no longer be trusted to educate anyone.

So, yeah. Any ideas? I'm all ears.
