My blood is boiling; the very nerve of this person... to suggest that I might enjoy myself if I were simply to stop whining. How irrational of me to not recall that everything is controlled by my attitude! Positivity must prevail!
The sort of person providing this type of advice is absent in credibility in the same way that my feet are lacking adequate circulation. Cheers for that one; if only everyone approached life with your carefree mannerisms, perhaps we would have made no progress as a species whatsoever. I'm all for appreciating the silver lining in a heinous situation, but at a certain point it becomes unreasonable to ignore the instinctual urge to completely alter my direction in the (often vain) hope of an improvement in circumstances. This isn't scouring through elephant shit with bare hands in the pursuit of diamonds; it is even more futile than that. Finding satisfaction in the utterly hopeless is not a sign of strength, but rather an indicator of dishonesty. Who lies to themselves like this?
This is not to say that I hold it against anyone. Maybe one has highly excellent reasons to pretend that all is well when the precise opposite is the case, and I am not here to judge, but merely reflect on the observations that I have been presumptuously given. After all, I am not the one sticking my nose into other people's business and suggesting that they need to quit complaining to enjoy the horrible things in life. I simply call the shots as I see them, and if you aren't willing to do that, what the fuck use are you?
There is no need to dance around a potentially controversial statement in fear of retribution, and decrying the present state of things is hardly malignant. Taking offense to such thoughts is plainly unnecessary at best and ruthlessly irritating in accuracy (to take a page from the 'silver lining' playbook). If this is some grand exercise to demonstrate your emotional sensitivity, save it for someone who does not possess any self-respect, as you will be peas in a pod.
