    True. I am not religious or even spiritual, but I gotta admit that the budists got it right when they say “suffering is a fundamental constant in life”. Thinking everything will be sunshine and rainbows is not optimism, it’s just being naive.

      @thepig agree. I’d say in general, my life has maybe been 15-20% enjoyment, the rest was either meh or outright sucked. The enjoyment portion gets smaller as one gets older, especially if you aren’t raking in cash by the time youre 40, you won’t have a fun time.
