“Why are we here? Just to suffer?”
We are born to be alive
Patrick Hernandez approved.
I mean, I get what youre trying to say, but there are definitely stories, music, jokes, paintings, and many other things where everything is just for the finished state.
Look the borzoi in the eyes and tell him that.
Yet, a song that doesn’t know how to end properly is terrible. A book that doesn’t know how to end properly is terrible. You have to learn how to die properly, or your life will be terrible.

George R. R. Martin disliked that.
In a blaze of glory?
No, surrounded by love ones is fine, but it’s preferable if you have to have your dignity intact.

They say the greater the snoot the greater the wisdom
I honestly don’t understand how anyone can enjoy hollow platitude posting
Maybe this community isn’t for you, bub.
Ok
I dunno, I really enjoyed the post. Thanks OP!
Oh I know people do, I just don’t know how
Not saying people shouldn’t be posting stuff like this, I wish I could enjoy it too =/
many people are like tomato plants which need a stick to be bound to, otherwise they fall over
these platitudes are just a dead, inanimate stick. they don’t inherently bring joy, but their application and distribution still helps.
The world is a nightmare. You can either give in to the bleakness and let it swallow your spirit, or you can appreciate and elevate the good in defiance to the bleakness, and let it fuel your resolve to multiply that good. Platitudes are useful baby steps for those half submerged in the nightmare already, and frankly it’s presumptuous to assume they’re hollow.
Seems the opposite of hollow to me. Hollow is: “kids raise money to pay for fellow classmate’s cancer treatment”.
Platitude, perhaps. I liked it.
When does the joy start ?
The light sprinkle of jpeg over this really adds to the Forwards From Grandma feel.
Borzoi look so cute I love them so much 🥹
This is your random reminder that the outcome of your story is not finished yet.
I always thought “born to die” was more a reference to how a lot of people view human lives as dispensable. I always thought it was a sarcastic self label, when you feel taken advantage of. I appreciate the sentiment, though. Maybe I’m wrong.
