I See The World As A Dark World

I really hate the world we live in. And I'm not talking about what's shown on the news. I hate that I live somewhere where if a person or a dog needs help mentally, it will cost an arm and a leg to get help. That's basically like saying we need to be built perfectly or we will be punished. I hate that I have to get everywhere with a car that will also cost me an arm and a leg and where I am at risk of getting into an accident because of the potential recklessness of others. I hate that a business can turn you down without saying why but yet if I choose to leave a business, I need to leave with respect. I hate how I could be a hard worker but yet my hours could still get cut unless someone gets sick or goes on vacation. I hate that all of the best places to find work are places that are almost unaffordable to live in. I hate that when people want to visit sick relatives that are out of state, planes cannot be made more affordable so that relatives can visit them. I hate that education is promoted as an important tool in your life when really all it will leave you is in debt and without a job. I hate that I cannot talk a walk by myself because the psychos ruin the freedom for everyone. I hate more than ever that I cannot get the best out of life just because I cannot afford my life. I did not ask to be born. Someone else made that choice for me. So if that is the case, I should be able to choose my own happiness and have the best life I can get. I know everything I am saying will not make a difference but someone has got to speak their mind once in a while.

If I may, I'd like to add a few items to your list....
I hate it that we are taxed on the money we earn, taxed on the money we spend, and taxed on the money we try to save. I hate it that you can pay off your home with a 30 year mortgage but then you need to continue to pay tax on it or you'll lose your home. I hate that every time a car is sold, the gov't collects tax on it again.

Like you said, we can basically do nothing about any of these things, but it feels good to vent once in a while. All we can do is live with it the best we can.
