Is it wrong to live in a dream world? When reality is so terrible, why not zone it all out and drift away into your own universe? Think about it… If you never turn on the tv, or listen to news radio or go on news web-sites, you'd have no idea about the Iraq war. You'd have no idea about the Bombings in Faizabad, Varanasi and Lucknow, or whatever terrorist plots are being foiled. Is that so bad?
Most people don't like the truth, if it's a painful one. Nobody wants to hear how ugly they are, how poor they are, or if their husband or wife is cheating on them. Just easier to dilute yourself into thinking your life is fine. Only when you can no longer avoid what's really happening do you accept what's going on.
Then you go on Zolof or Paxil or whatever after seeing a shrink.
People need therapy for two reasons. One, to deal with the truth, or two, to keep hiding from it. The worse the world is getting, the more and more "therapists" will be in business. But what do they know? What makes their lives any better that they can help others with their troubles? Because they have a college degree? So what. All having a college degree says is that you put up with four years (or more) worth of bullshit. Doesn't mean you're intelligent. I've known people with Bachelors or Masters degrees who are dumber than stumps, or total nutcases. But people will pay a hundred bucks an hour to speak with these people about their "fucked up" childhoods. What a scam.
If you are depressed, and you think you need help dealing with it, just remember these three things.
One, the world sucks no matter what you do. People are dying every day over some bullshit so you might as well not hear about it on tv or the internet. What does it matter if millions are dying in the Middle East or in Northern Africa? Okay, it's a tragedy, but were those people putting money in your pockets? Do you even know any of them personally? How if they live 80 years or die tomorrow will that change your life? It won't. So forget about it. If some tragic shit happens here and your involved in it, you probably won't feel a thing anyway and that just means your number was up.
Two, you do not look like Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt, so accept it, but consider yourself lucky regardless. You are you – and just be happy. So you won't get to fuck that model in your English class, big deal. Odds are she's a lousy lay and would add nothing to life but drama. Alright, maybe you won't get to date the Metrosexual bartender– two inch dick having "ladies' men" who probably have more sugar in their tanks than man fuel. You're not missing anything. Likening those guys may mean you're a lesbian anyway so you might want to look into that before you go any further.
Yeah, okay, you weren't invited to the big parties at your school. Don't feel bad. Those people throwing them, or attending them, are more than likely assholes. Period Be your own man, or woman , you don't need an entourage full of ass kissing lackeys who will desert you the first sign of trouble. Get some real friends- people who will be there when the chips are down. You won't find any of them at parties.
Three, people cheat, so deal with it. Any man who is married will cheat if given half a chance and if they feel they can truly get away with it. Maybe it won't happen right away for some guys, but if you're married long enough, you will wonder what else is out there. Sometimes men cheat not because they like someone else better than their wives but because they're getting old and need to feel young again by proving to themselves they "still have it." Women will cheat too, just not as much though. Usually when they do, the marriage is over anyway and they're looking for a bigger, better, deal. Shit happens, and so does divorce. Most marriages end that way, so you might as well be like everyone else. Being married is like signing a contract. When both parties feel the contract is no longer vaid, you dissolve the agreement and go your separate ways. If you get dumped for someone else, it's okay to feel bad but remember that things happen for a reason. Sometimes getting dumped is a blessing in disguise. Actually, 90 percent of the time it is.
You remember these three things, you should have no need to see a shrink or take the paxil.
