"You will never be given more than you can handle." Complete crap.

Oh there's a whole bunch of them, but "Money doesn't buy happiness." stands out for me! The hell it doesn't!

“Laughter is the best medicine.”
I disagree; a [b]Budweiser[/b] is the best medicine. 🍺

[c=#4C0073]"Time will heal" .. yeah well, my middle finger is up for that one[/c]

You can't teach an old dog new tricks!!!
You can.....🤔

"Pretending to smile makes you actually feel happy."
No it doesn't. It makes me feel pissed off because I can CLEARLY tell I'm forcing myself to try to feel cheerful.

That "everything happens for a reason". Most events have direct or indirect [b]causes[/b], but otherwise life is pretty random. 😒
