re: #303 ryannon

It has literally become a religion in the U.S. It has its uses and its moments - but not as a replacement for actual faith.

People usually respond by saying you’re complaining. The irony of course is that you will find extremely pessimistic people pretending to be optimistic in order to fit in. So you meet someone on the street. He ask you, “how are doing?” You say, “fine, never felt better.” Even though you might even be dying of cancer. The end result is that we fail at communicating or sharing our true states.
