Is there anything at all to be cheerful about? - SV650.org

Recession is ongoing and worsening in my experience..
Taxes all seem to be going one way..
Government doesn't have a clue what they're doing causing panic..
We're already at peak oil (probably past it) so we're going to see fuel crises more regularly..
Traditional weather patterns have basically gone - it was like summer last week, so by my calculations it will be snowing this time next week..
Vehicle insurance doesn't seem to be getting any cheaper despite people raving how great it is when you're getting towards the latter bit of your 20's with 9/10years NCBs..

We're only on this planet for a brief fart in the order of time - what a waste of energy and potential.

Is there some kind of secret happy club keeping everyone chipper by handing out free smoothies? Or have the masons started doing the conga at their meetings to maintain morale?

What have you got to be cheerful about? Give me some inspiration.

Oh and just to make it extra challenging, here is a slide from a powerpoint presentation which was shown at a conference on education last week.

F*** yes there are still things worth being alive for.

Not many, granted, but they are out there...

I agree life is ****.

But I'd rather be miserable and healthy than happy and dead

life is hard - only as hard as you make it

you are not that important - actually you will find that i am according to my my family

your life is not about you - well who the feck is it about

you are not in control - control of what?

you are going to die - yes everyone does so make the best of it

the sun is shining i have food, water, a house, my bills are paid and i owe no one anything. to top that off i'm also very privileged to have a motorbike.

life is bliss
