Shall I buy your plane ticket to Sudan, then?

Whenever people start saying how bad their life is to try and gain sympathy from a group everyone else has to tell thier hardships. Of course it usually stops when it comes my turn, It's amazing how much better people feel when they realize their life isn't quite as bad as someone elses.

I have a very sad story myself... Foddercat still has my cupcake! Gnn... I will recover my yummy Betty Crocker treat!

Well, typically I am the one to say 'It could be worse', because that's pretty much my view of the world summed up in one neat sentence.

Again I will force feed you my theory on life... I practicaly live on the KISS principle! (Or at least I try too...)

Keep

Another one I get is "Could you do better?"

This comes when I make some non favorable comment about something, and I can see their point. If I can't do better, then yeah, I have no grounds for critisism... but damn, sometimes my inability to do better is besides the point! If I buy a table, and it falls apart in short order, but I couldn't build a better one myself cause I don't know wood work, does that mean I have no right to complain? (I recently bought a set of tumblers... and one was warped! Argh!

)

On a more severe note, if you go to have your apendix removed, and the doctor leaves his watch in you, do you have a right to complain even though he saved your life? I'd say so myself!

I think that 'It *will* be worse' is more fitting...

And how about 'It is worse.'

You are one of those "Glass half empty" kinda people ain't ya?

Vazagi · Post by **Vazagi** » Fri Mar 22, 2002 4:17 pm

The question isn't 'Is the glass half full?', 'Is the glass half empty?' or 'Is the container twice as large as it needs to be?'. The question that matters is 'When will it be refilled?'

No I think the really important question is why did someone think it not worth finishing?

Funny, I woulda said "Hey! I ordered a coke!" or somesuch.

Whose glass was it anyway? and what was in it?

Here's what Terry Pratchett has to say about combining the three classic greek schools of philosophy, the cynics, the stoics and the epicureans:

The world sucks, you can't do anything about it, so let's get a drink.

That's why we drink it here.........
And when we're gone from here;
Then our friends will be drinking all the beer!"
