@drymer Life sucks, I agree. But it's useless if there isn't anything positive, hope, love, art.. Why else are you alive? Just because your heart pumps blood? Or because you actually have something to live for ?
Pls don't kill yourself if you don't have any aspirations..

The universe doesn't care one way or another. I'm also pretty sure there's around a billion people who really, really, really want some food right now, while they're starving to literal death. The universe doesn't care if you can't breathe water, or if cancer eats your body away from the inside.

If you want something, you have to work for it, yourself, and lots of times then, you're still not gonna get it, no matter how hard you squint your eyes and jump up and down.

As for why the negativity--it's realism, not pessimism--because that's a claim, and it's a really stupid claim.

@Tatsumi Did you know that, maybe people who really really REALLY want something,like, I don't know, actually do some things and try to get what they want? 😒
Nothing comes easy but it doesn't mean it's impossible!

Or when you want something you can't have, it's you against the world.

@SW-User Depends on what you have, I guess. But most of things are possible.

@drymer Hey, don't spoil it! :(
It's a part from the book, duh. But a powerful one. I fully recommend it.
Maybe you didn't want anything that much. Or wanted something and didn't get it / try hard enough and now you're pissed.

Yes that's probably it

I don't believe that.
