It kind of seems like society is trying to make us unhappy and misfortunate. There's this idea that richer, luckier, happier people are not as good people as the poor, unhappy and unlucky.
In primary school, my headteacher gave an assemblies about praying, and the Bible, and God. She told us a story about two men who were praying in the same church. One man was very fortunate. He was wealthy, and had a loving family, and he was thanking God for his kindness and generosity. The second man was an ex-criminal of some kind, and he was apologising to God, and praying for forgiveness and asking for a better life. Our headteacher told us that God favoured the second man over the first, despite telling us less than a week ago that God loved everyone equally. But I digress. She told us that God preferred him because he was unhappy, but still prayed.
People using guilt trips heavily imply that less fortunate people are better and more morally right. While this is often true, because of the emotional and physical strength and endurance needed to go through the suffering, they are not better people because they are less fortunate. People react to situations differently. There are people who would be amazing and strong through hard times, and there are people who would get angry and hateful and horrible if presented with the exact same situation. In the same way, lucky people can be positive and help others, or mock the less fortunate and abuse their supposed superiority.
When people die, especially in tragic circumstances such as random murders and suicide, everyone is suddenly praising them, and saying that they were wonderful, and the best. Even the kids who were bullied by everyone, and thought of as useless and stupid, thus forcing them into taking their own lives, are remembered by the very people who abused them as brilliant and whatnot. Why couldn't you have told them that when it could have saved them? Maybe because they feel guilty for being alive, maybe they feel sorry for the one who died, maybe they're showing respect to the dead, or maybe they do actually think that in dying, the deceased has risen above and beyond the living, that they are automatically better than everyone else. It's almost as if they think that dying in tragedy makes you a better person.
But it doesn't. You are still the same person as you were when you were alive. So to everyone reading this: You are wonderful, brilliant, intelligent, amazing, and so many other things, and you don't need to suffer for people to think that. No-one who is sentient is faultless. But no-one deserves suffering, and feeling sorry for them won't help them either.

The dying thing...déjà vu. I think I heard it somewhere today but am not sure where.

cheezemziez, I'm afraid your teacher did not convey the right message with that story. That story she was telling is one of the illustrations Jesus told. It's found at Luke 18:9-14. (Have a link to it. ^_^ http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/luke/18#v-9) The point was not that the Pharisee was richer and the tax collector was poorer, and that's why God favored the tax collector's prayer. Jesus comes out and explains the point: "I tell ​YOU, This man went down to his home proved more righteous than that man; because everyone that exalts himself will be humiliated, but he that humbles himself will be exalted." If you read the account directly, you'll see that the Pharisee was thanking God that he was not "as the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector." Then he went on to tell God how much better he was than the tax collector in his deeds. On the other hand, the tax collector was humble. He admitted he was a sinner, and asked forgiveness. The Pharisee made himself out to be without sin, when, in reality, we're all imperfect sinners no matter what some of our good deeds are. And it was not that God loved the tax collector more, it was that the tax collector was more righteous, and God had more favor for his prayer because he was humble.

But, back on the topic of the other things you're talking about. <:^/ You're right--our society IS geared towards unhappiness. We isolate ourselves with our video games and strive to get the means to acquire the latest technology. What you have and what you don't have is a status symbol. Meanwhile, we're bombarded with depressing/terrifying news stories, propaganda, and commercials that instill fear of everything in our hearts. (Actual ad I saw: "I bought his vacuum cleaner because I love my family!" PSYCHOLOGICAL TRANSLATION: "If you don't buy this vacuum, then you don't love your family, and that makes you a bad person. Do you want to be a bad person? Do you want your family to hate you for not taking care of their house? Go buy this vacuum, and you won't be a bad person, and your family will love you back.") :(

And you're right about poorer people not necessarily being better people. Many are very strong-willed and honest, but many are abusive and others steal. It all depends on what's happening in their life, how they were raised, and who they really are. Meanwhile, even though a lot of rich people are greedy and uncaring, some are philanthropists, and, hey, what's the definition of "rich"? To a starving Ugandan, we're all rich. Just because we have a constant supply of good food, clean water, a house to live in, and access to a hot shower does not necessarily mean we're all greedy and heartless people. Some people are, some people aren't. Again, it all depends on what's happening in their life, how they were raised, and who they really are.

And, also, you're right again about dying not making someone a better person. While, according to the Bible, death does relieve a person of all their sins (since "the wages sin pays is death", and that means if one pay off their sins with death, they're automatically forgiven) that still does not mean they didn't do the things they did when they were alive, and that does not make them perfect. (And that's certainly no reason to kill yourself--God does not approve of suicide.) Is it nicer to remember someone for only the good things they did? Yes. That's how you should remember them. But you shouldn't idolize them like they were flawless.

Okay, maybe, writing. And acting and stuff. But I seriously doubt that anyone would ever like, really love me. Even if I loved them, who'd love me back? Especially if they knew me, and by 'me' I mean 'all of me'-- the okay and the supershitty, that is. *sighs* *ignore ignore ignore this is me bitching insecurely*

Oh, I wasn't commenting on the story itself. I haven't read the Bible, and to be honest it really confuses me. It was about how the headteacher presented it to us, and the tender age of six.

O_O That advert is extremely arrogant.

Geary, if I die before you, then I entrust to you the duty of making sure that no-one lies at my funeral. (also, try not to let anyone piss on the coffin. Or let giant vultures blow the room up in an attempt to gain control of the TARDIS)

People using guilt trips heavily imply that less fortunate people are better and more morally right. While this is often true, because of the emotional and physical strength and endurance needed to go through the suffering, they are not better people because they are less fortunate. People react to situations differently. There are people who would be amazing and strong through hard times, and there are people who would get angry and hateful and horrible if presented with the exact same situation. In the same way, lucky people can be positive and help others, or mock the less fortunate and abuse their supposed superiority.
When people die, especially in tragic circumstances such as random murders and suicide, everyone is suddenly praising them, and saying that they were wonderful, and the best. Even the kids who were bullied by everyone, and thought of as useless and stupid, thus forcing them into taking their own lives, are remembered by the very people who abused them as brilliant and whatnot. Why couldn't you have told them that when it could have saved them? Maybe because they feel guilty for being alive, maybe they feel sorry for the one who died, maybe they're showing respect to the dead, or maybe they do actually think that in dying, the deceased has risen above and beyond the living, that they are automatically better than everyone else.

But no-one deserves suffering, and feeling sorry for them won't help them either.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's thought that. I hate it when people gush over "how much so-and-so loved to laugh" and "how so-and-so was brilliant", or when people say "you shouldn't speak of the dead that way". Respect for the dead means not disgracing them, not sympathizing for them when they're gone just because it makes you feel better. So you can't say that whoever was strange when they're dead but you didn't give two shits about them when they were walking on this earth? I just wish people would understand that.

If someone genuinely thought that someone was brilliant or whatever, they should tell them while they're alive and around to hear it for f---'s sake. Not just say it to sound not uncaring at a funeral.

I don't have any real-life friends my age to hang out with. I guess being homeschooled is a part of it, but I always thought that at least some people would try to keep in touch.

So prepare for the coup of the century,
Be prepared for the murkiest scam.
Meticulous planning,
Tenacity spanning,
Decades of denial,
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed,
Respected, saluted,
And seen for the wonder I am!
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared,
Be prepaaaared!

I think it's around the same for Americans too (maybe a bit later, but only a year or two; I think it's 12-14). It's so scary to think that people my age are not virgins. People my age do drugs, smoke, party, drink... *shudder*. I can't even conceive it.

Aw, I'm sorry!

Excited/Nervous/Impatient
 
I'm excited because I get to see my dad this weekend and I don't get to see him very often. I also might get to have a slumber party with my BFF.
I'm nervous because my BFF didn't ask her mom permission, so the slumber party might not happen. My mom already gave me permission, but if my BFF's mom says no, I'll miss out on seeing her again.
I'm impatient because my mom, sister, and I are planning to play Monopoly after dinner. I've already have dinner and I want to play.

Great thread idea! :)

I like lying down with headphones in my ears, closing my eyes, and just listening to music that I love. It's silly, but the songs I like are ones that I can relate to, and I love it. I feel at peace.
