*Due to budget cuts and corporate down sizing the allotment of characters for today's rant has been drastically reduced. I will make the best of the space I have.*
Ok, so I actually procrastinated writing this rant until the last possible moment, and am now trying to bust out a topic suggested to me several months ago. Maybe I should just write about procrastination.... yeah, I'll get to that one later.
So, life sucks. It really does. And before any of you "glass is half full" people start to jump down my throat, let me get a few words out. Our lives are a series of trials and tests. When the trials seem to be too difficult, and they often do, then life can seem miserable. From day 1 we came out crying, we knew life was a bitch and the only thing we could do about it is cry. NOW, that is not to say that we can't have a good attitude and enjoy life to its fullest. We can be happy most of the time, and that is the idea.
My intention is not to rant about the purpose of life. I want to complain about people that hate their lives, yet make no attempts to change it.
A guy goes into the doctor and says "Dr. it hurts when I raise my arm up like this", to which the Dr replies "Then ... don't raise your arm like that."
We all know people that hate their lives. They hate their jobs, they hate their homes, they hate their children, they hate their car, they hate their spouses, they hate their hair, they hate their weight..... You get my point. These same people make it a point to let all of us know how much they hate their lives, constantly! I am not one to judge a person that wants to complain. ::looks back at list of previous rants:: But I am annoyed by people that complain about the same things daily but will not do anything to change the situation.
I get it, you hate your job. Look for another one! You don't like your home, fix it or move! You hate how your children misbehave, spank their butts! ( and then slap yourself for allowing your kids to get to this point) You hate your spouse, find the problems and resolve them, or cut bait.
Of course this is always easier said than done. The outside view is always the most clear and the solutions seem to be simple. But that is because the solutions truly are simple. If you want help then listen to the advice of those you trust, and take action. Baby steps. But if all you want to do is bitch for the sake of bitching, well then, write a blog. =)

Okay! I get it! You don't have to berate me publicly! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry I am a little late reading your weekly rant. It's been a horrible week per usual. My life totally sucks. I hate it. I mean my husband works all the time, my house is always messy, my kids need my constant attention, and I'm always pissing people off when I don't mean to. What kind of life is this? I'm totally poor. Like so poor you have no idea. I hate living month to month. I miss my top-of-the-line van and my big, fancy house and living on the park. Oh wait, you don't want to hear all this. I'll save it for my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteGood rant KG, I totally get your point.
(Ready for my take? You know I love to find something I disagree with.) It's not always possible to change your situation. It's easy to judge others and think "Well if you're that unhappy about it, do something about it." But the way I see it, most of the time you just have to choose to be content no matter the circumstances. Life is tough. We just have to learn to deal with it. And be happy despite the crap life throws at you. And that is often easier said than done. Especially when one haven't been blessed with or developed good coping strategies.
