"Life IS pain, highness, anyone telling you otherwise is selling something" - Westley, The Princess Bride

Also, "Hard Times" by Studs Terkel will offer some perspective.

I'm so tired of these ai generated images. They can never get faces right, statistically at least one of them should be frowning!

I think if your background is generational wealth, you're feeling okay

Subjectively? Yes.

Objectively? FUCK yes.

But I do hope people find a way to enjoy it nonetheless.:-)

We do this for 40 years and then we die.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. What do you think?

"You only get 60 years on the planet" by Brian Setzer is a kick.

Yep, you get about 80 years, with your body going to shit for 2/3 of it.

Get prepared, it's the way it is.

I think it's bold of you to presume that we'd (want to) last that long but... okay, sure.:-P

Well, it's the truth.

See my Princess Bride quote above.

Life is hard. Painful for a lot of it. But that doesn't mean don't live a meaningful life.

I'd argue all the difficulty is what makes anyone's efforts meaningful. If there were zero strife, what would accomplishment look like?

Philosophers have stated this far better than I can, since the beginning of recorded history in Sumer.

And if it seems things are tough today, read "Hard Times" by Studs Terkel.

(I've had chronic, frequently debilitating pain for 30 years. For the last year, just walking/standing has been very difficult. My grandparent's generation had it even harder - I remember, and understand better now).
