I'll take a daily dose of whatever he's having.
A nice line of fun, half a tab of insensitivity, a lungfull of luck and a glass of milk with every breakfast.

Way to take away the thought that made us feel bette. Prick. :laugh:
Don't worry, I'm sure someone will come by to replace it any moment now.

It's the stuff that goeth before a fall, I believe.
Ah, there it is. Another thesis of mystical balance to make people accept feeling like crap instead of trying to solve their problems.
There exists no such balance. A problem solved is one problem less - another might show up, sure, but unless you keep causing them the number you'll get hit with is finite. Apply some intelligence and before long you might simply not have that many left. As for getting so low you cannot sink any further, you probably can and if you really cannot the next step is most likely a painful death. Good things don't necessarily come to you by waiting and hoping just because you 'deserve' a break from your current shitty life, unless you're very lucky you're going to have to seek them out.
As for enjoying the good better when you know the bad, that's only half of it. Yes, good things can get stale and you often need contrast to fully appreciate them. But the experience of life isn't a bipolar one with one good and one bad, it's the sum of countless experiences, all good or bad in different ways and to different degrees. There are many positive ones out there, and there is no reason to seek your variety with the unpleasant when you can easily contrast one enjoyable experience with the another of a different nature.
So thanks, but I'll pass on the 'suffering' bit.
