There is a measure to all things. What many of you are failing so miserably at is your ability to distinguish such measures. Outside stimuli alters a persons emotional balance, this is a simple truth. HOWEVER, all people have the ability, created by thier desire for it, to control the affect of such stimuli. In example of this phenomenon I point to myself. Injuring my back and leg in football, forcing me to quit track and live in constant immutable pain for the past year, Having my parents divorce, contemplating an imminent move to New Zealand by myself with no money, working, losing some of my closest friends, being forced into a breakup with the love of my life by way of fate, nearly dying of Internal bleeding and then Asphyxiation in the same week, saying goodbye to the few friends I have left, wisdom teeth, constant fatigue, asthma, losing my childhood home without warning, tragic death of a friends mother, and estrangement from my father and his side of the family, all in a single year. my senior year of high school. So don't FUCKING BELIEVE FOR A GOD DAMN SECOND THAT I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK HERE! That being said, and all the above being true, I maintain a generally happy demeanor. So yeah, people who are habitually unhappy CHOOSE to be that way. I used to, I was considered clinically depressed before all of that happened but once I learned what REAL hardship was about, I grew up. Now everyone stop this nonsense and do the same. You CAN control your attitude and emotions if you recognize that other people and painful acts can affect you but they should NOT control you.
Finally, I am a happy man, and will kill anyone who pity's me.
