when life gives you lemons throw them at people's expensive cars

That's one way of doing XVERB...

Anyway, I like the interpretation you had 1337. If only more people had the philosophy...

...I just realized that life is a terrible; terrible thing.

-ahem- Topic change successful.

****, I'm good. I personally do not think life is a terrible thing, just a cruel mistress.

Life is a cruel mistress indeed. I look forward to asking MRWalker to change this topic's name whenever Strop isn't around.

This is summed up perfectly by a quote by an AG user (forget which one that is, and I think he's inactive): "no one dies a virgin, life screws us all".

If life was good all the time, it wouldn't seem good because there wouldn't be any bad things to know that there are such things as good things. Life would just be boring.

So in order to experience the good things you have to experience bad things also.

The problem however is that there are people for whom life is nothing but an endless cycle of misery and despair.

It could be that we see it as misery and despair, they see it as quite a fine existence.

I highly doubt that wearing ragged, torn clothes and scrounging for food in trash heaps was considered a lively existence. It is a poor, pathetic existence, that no one deserves.

You didnt say wearing rags and scrounging for food. Could have been you were thinking of struggling farmers trying to bring in a crop without mechanical harvesters while locusts attack.

At least they're lucky enough to have the food. They lead a rather well of existence, it's the people who don't have a place to sleep at night that truly deserve recognition.

What of the people who must live on the windswept steepes with their tents gone, their horses plundered and their cheese taken? They must have it the worst and deserve recognition.

Really? You're going to make jokes about this?

Its no joke. People do still live like that in Mongolia.
