Have you ever felt like life has cheated you?

You go to college to get ahead- only to start behind because of paying back student loans

Insurance-is a joke- when you don't have it you worry, when you do have it- well, it just doesn't cover enough.

It is like a board game that has lousy rules.

    no people are just greedy and prone to focus on the negative. the good and the bad balances out, we're just too lazy and ungrateful to realize it.

    No, quite the opposite. I look at people who are in serious pain, alone etc and I think 'Why not me?' The answer is that I am lucky, I have done nothing to deserve being able bodied and pain free so I feel a little humbled because I am so fortunate, my health makes almost anything a possibility. My family are pain free and healthy and were that to change I know I would look back on today as a halcyon day.

    Everyday when I wake up I feel grateful and go and grab life by the b*lls because it is mine and precious, I'll be damned if I'll waste it with negative thoughts if it is within my control.

    Moving Pictures put out a song that says it all

    Later recorded by Shannon Knoll

    "What about me

    It is'nt fair

    Don't have enough

    Now I want my share

    Dont you see

    I want be

    But you just take more than you give"

    I think the trick is to not let it get you down and definately dont dwell on it. I did alot when I was younger & it weighed me down. Now Im over 50 & I live a lot more in the moment. Dont worry about material things or things I can not change. I think once you loose your parents, partner, and friends start dropping off the perch, your perspective of whats important & what isnt changes. Good Luck

    No, I feel as if I have cheated myself out of life. The decisions were mine to make - and I made some really bad choices. Accepting that they were my fault and not some cosmic joke has made me aware of the power of reasoning.

    I gradually stopped thinking about everything that's going on in order not to end up in a catatonic state listening to others' pity me as they load me into an ambulance.

    I want my whole life lined with a topical anesthetic.

    All you can do is be thankful you have something to hold unto, like dreams while reality remains utterly unashamed to repeat itself.

    Life is absurd chaos. It does cheat us all. It seems that some people have the upper hand, but in the end, we all loose.
