闲人

Sometimes I feel life is really shit. I find it's helpful then, at these times, to think about the question: What is it I am suffering?

Usually there is no death, no loss, no getting my balls bit off by a rabid animal. Hence I am dumbstruck. What I am experiencing does not reach the level of suffering. Even if there is real suffering, there are probably many people who are coping with the same kind of thing. It doesn't make it ok, but it kind of puts things into perspective.

Then I feel that hey, life isn't so shitty after all.
