Are You happy with Your life?

Does this test your faith, Jon? You're very devout, I gather, and probably a really nice guy, and your God rewards your humility with a crap love life. When you read "The meek shall inherit the earth" what does this mean to you? 72 virgins in the afterlife?

I'm sorry to hear about the latter, Aeson.

Is it possible to be happy with life while bearing such a burden?

No, not at all really.

And I don't really think I am deserving of a nice girl. I have a lot of self improvement I need to engage in. I am not really interested in detailing all the ways I fall short of how I wish to be, however.

I also, sometimes, have this feeling that having a love life should be a lot less important than I (and others) place it. A lot of people who I consider successful sacrifice a good love life (as well as a lot of other things) to achieve.

BTW, I am also a firm beleiver in goodness being it's own reward. Additionally, there is an implication that marriage as we know it won't exist in heaven.

I've never used this smiley before, but it seems appropriate here.

I think so, to a point. Life is how you view it, though some things make it more difficult to attain or maintain the proper perspective.

To put it in perspective... I think my dry itchy skin during the colder months (even here in soCal, go figure) detracts more from my quality of life than the psychological problems do anymore.

Definitely not appropriate in heaven!

colder in socal? hahah

I have that problem in winter too. It was better last year when I worked out before getting in the shower. It gets me hot, which means I take cooler showers. It's the hot water that dries my skin out. Try to take cooler showers.

i think it's pretty good.

wouldn't mind a better job, more money, more sex etc., which is something i have in common with about 99% of people.

Yah, this 65F weather is a killer!

I often do take cold showers. It does help a bit. I find that just turning the shower to cold for a couple minutes before getting out works about as well too.

As there are only four people in the world that I give any degree of a **** about, if I lose twenty five percent of everything that matters to me, I will probably cease to be able to function for a considerable length of time.

Damn. Too bad I promised not to kill myself.

Lori, I've lost a ton of good friends over the years - not through fallouts, but by losing address books, house moves and stuff like that.

It sucks, but life must go on.

I don´t know. I stopped caring a long time ago... Only reason I don´t kill myself is that I like to annoy people. This and my misantropic megalomania keeps me, if not happy, at least somewhat content.

Annoying people and transferring your depression to them
