...or so they say.
It is that time of year when people do the same things they have done before and expect different results. Yes, it is madness season.
I, fortunately, have never expected tomorrow to be better than yesterday. Since I am pretty much a person of habit and small habits build bigger ones I can confidently say that each bad day will transpose into a bad year.
Sure the context may change and objectively it may be better, but that means you are undermining my cynical subjectivity and it won't end well.
What does that even mean?
Simply, it means I know next year can be and should be better than this year. What matters though is that although it may get better given I have done better things. I will have new things to bitch about and since possibly everything is much better then it would be rather foolish of me to downplay the suffering.
I am sure that is how becoming rich works. You can't be high-status if you don't have statistically worse times than some broke ass.
It only makes sense really, a broke ass like me right now may have their problems but I am so close to zero in social and economic standing that even if I lose everything that probably only registers as a 0.1 to higher class people.
So it stands to reason that if I were to do better objectively my suffering is at least 0.2 for something small like breaking a leg vs killing myself which is still just a 0.1 now.
All I am saying is, I don't know.
I have no interest in really entertaining if this or that will be better. It is far simpler to just keep attacking. Eventually you will cut a throat, if you can still swing the sword then likely it is not yours so keep going.
That is better.
