Oddbean new post about login | logout but this is my whole style of humour :O
How's life?
shit mate
Then Bruce may be correct in this case.
I would certainly agree it could change the way you view things that happen in your life and therefore change your own experience of those things, but there are some things you cannot change about your life you just have to accept them. And sometimes shit things are shit but they're not 'bad' for you.
What you experience is based upon your perception. Everything can change, if you can change.
It will change, when it's time. But until then I don't gaslight myself into believing things are fine, or that because it's hard I must be on the wrong path. Changing enough things for an easier/happier life will eventually telegraph your destiny. In the meantime a little self-deprecating humour stops me taking myself too seriously
