Does anyone else feel antagonistic to practically everything in their daily life? I hope it's just a current phase of my life, because I feel like I'm missing out on life, always seeing the negative, capitalist, in things.

Yes, so much. I feel a hatred for most people and most things, which is usually expressed through anger or violence.

Pretty much. I resolve this temporarily by drinking heavily. Or more accurately I try and resolve this permanently by drinking heavily...In other words become an alcoholic.

Personally I think life is far too short and full of interesting and pleasurable stuff to waste it on such juvenile negativity. Seriously, why not go have a wank, eat something you like, take a nap, read about something you've never looked at in any detail before, anything apart from stewing in your own misery juices, hating everything like a spoilt teenager who thinks they're being edgy and mature in their misanthropy.

Yes, living under capitalism can suck and there are legitimate complaints to be made about certain aspects of such a life. But I truly believe that if that's what it takes to make you into some bitter and twisted parody of a human being, then the capitalists have won, and are colonising your soul with a false vision of the world as an irrevocably soiled place with no redeeming features.

In short, don't let the bastards get you down.

The game of life is hard to play...

I have been called an extremely negative person. And I suppose that is true. I really don't think that makes me cool or edgy, it just makes me a standard-issue bastard. And these days, most of my spleen is reserved for political "offenders". Quite frankly, I no longer care if someone acts like an arse in the tram or at the university or something to that effect (to me, at least). I've become inured to that. My reaction to religious backwardness, misogyny, homophobia etc. is still somewhere in the range from "excessive" to "hide". And I am very good at proving that everyone around me suffers from at least one of these defects. I also suffer from the usual exasperation with the state of the left, and the attendant plan-mongering.

This probably sounds like an unhealthy obsession with politics, but I really am sick of the present society. If I could participate in destroying it at least somewhat, I would die a happy man.

It's not that I hate everything, it's that I am pissed off all the time

People have told me that I'm full of hate. Sometimes I'm really happy and other times I'm just really ticked off. There's no in-between with me.

Always consider these questions just before you go to sleep: The universe came into existence from something, but what did it come into existence from? What was before it? And if there was nothing before it, how does it exist?

Yeah, I like a lot of shit. Some things annoy me but I just avoid that, it's not worth my time.

Yeah, I have very bad days sometimes - and once, for better or worse I quit a job because i couldn't contain my physical and moral disgust for what I was doing (it was really nasty bar work at a race course - eurgh) But I suppose I don't let it get to me so much these days. I've got good friends and fun hobbies and I enjoy my degree.

I was like this when I was around 20 but I think I'm a more cheery person now.

There are things that I enjoy doing but yeah I feel this way usually when completely asinine obstacles get in the way which is most of the time. I don't have a functioning coping mechanism anymore that isn't venomous.

Don't it serves no purpose. In the sense nothing gets don. Assume whats there is there. That is the basic node of life.

Life is not short. It is the longest thing you will ever do.

Only because when I die I will stop doing anything. The problem I have is with the dying part, it comes too soon even if you're very careful and/or lucky. 120 years? That's nowhere near enough time as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I would feel differently after five centuries or a millennium, but that would be a decision made with the benefit of hindsight, rather than an imposition brought about by inadequate biology.
