I wonder what it’s like at the top. I wonder what it’s like to be rich, famous, powerful, etc etc. It must be bittersweet.
It must be nice to live in luxury; to bathe in liquid gold and eat the finest meals on the planet. It must be nice to walk into a store, close your eyes, spin around, point, and be able to buy whatever object you just happened to get. It must be nice to through wild parties with the stars. It must be nice with all the attention. It must be nice to be able to be gone for weeks because you have enough to sustain yourself.
It must be sad to never get a moments rest when the reporters come around. It must be sad when you know everyone is talking about you and you don’t know if it’s good or bad or both. It must be sad when you have to step over a pile of bones to keep your position. It must be sad to be an emotional wreck from everything that’s going on. It must be sad knowing how lonely it is up there. It must be sad to think of how much you’ve left behind for what you thought you would need.
I don’t know. I’m still at the bottom, and though there are some things that I long for, I know there are other people like me.
Will you be the one to hold the gun out and question my morals? Will you be the one to wage war with someone you’re not ready for?
Why do it? Why be sad and down and so pessimistic about every aspect of life that there is no room for hope? It must take so much energy to be pessimistic, that pessimists barely ever get sleep and are always cranky, thus fueling their pessimism even more. I don’t understand why someone just doesn’t smile every once in a while.
I’m mean think about it. How often are you sad? Are you in a perpetual state of sadness once you become sad? No! Things get better after a while and once time has passed you usually forget about it unless you look back and laugh heartily. It is so much easier to be happy than sad, so why don’t people just be happy?
Aw your boyfriend broke up with you? Boo friggen hoo, there are other boys to look forward to and you don’t have to worry about all that bullshit that comes with having a boyfriend so stop moping and get your life together.
Failed your test? There is such a thing as extra credit you know, and I’m sure that one test in a high school class isn’t going to make a major impact on your 99 average. Dry your tears and hit the books, maybe you’ll do better the next chapter.
Life isn’t worth living? Obviously, since I’m actually talking to you and acknowledge you as a friend, your life is worth much more than you think, and if you end it now then it wont be a good life to have lead. Put down the gun and lets go have lunch or something.
It is easier to look at things the bad way, but it is much more helpful and fulfilling to look at the good parts of life. Don’t look at your bank account and think “Oh my god I’m withdrawn $10000 because of that stupid car!”. You should think “Oh my god, I care so much about myself that I’m willing to do this!”
Get up off your mopey asses and smile; Sadness is not worth the time or effort.
Think About It.
