How to be a miserable person (seven habits)

7. You fill your conversations with gossip and complaints.

Unhappy people like to live in the past. What's happened to them and life's hardships are their conversation of choice. When they run out of things to say, they'll turn to other people's lives and gossip.

Happy people live in the now and dream about the future. You can feel their positive vibe from across the room. They're excited about something they're working on, grateful for what they have and dreaming about the possibilities of life.

Don't give a fuck

Using apathy as rationalization for a dickish action is an abuse of the live-and-let-live ethos of don't-give-a-fuckism.

Nice, except for one problem:

BIG PROBLEM with that braindead dick-licking simpleton who wrote that piece, is that through her/his ridiculous "positivity" all the time way of thinking, they will only ever "see the best" in everything..

* "1%ers", 'Robber barons', media moguls ?
* Multinational corp'ns and their push for endless "free trade" agreements ?
* Increasing pollution, climate change, deforestation, overpopulation ?
* 38 million people held in direct slavery, another 200+ million in usurious jobs and abject poverty that they can't escape from, over a billion people live in poverty, close to starvation, in warzones and refugee camps ?
* WHILE the top 5% of the world's population is growing exponentially wealthier by the year, the bottom half are being left increasingly further behind..
* Housing costs, homelessness, energy costs, food supplies, access to adequate water, are becoming increasingly problematic..
* AND all along, ordinary people and the communities that they live in, are finding themselves increasingly "marginalised" and ignored, as the environment and the world at large is being raped and pillaged by ever-smaller "elites" of business carpetbaggers, their political lapdogs, their financiers and bankers, property developers and miners, weapons manufacturers and big pharma'..
* Wars ravaging western and northern Africa and the Middle east; inhumane conditions increasing around the globe...

AND what's the message from the "positive thinking" gurus such as the author of the quoted message ?  In a nutshell "Don't worry,  be  happy !"

"... Happy people live in the now and dream about the future. You can feel their positive vibe from across the room. They're excited about something they're working on, grateful for what they have and dreaming about the possibilities of life."

     THE author of that apologist crap is nothing more than a pathetic cargo-cultist corporatist "shill" helping to distract people from all the genuine ills affecting the world..

Oh, I so disagree. Complaining is just such a gosh-awful way to spend a sunny day! We should all think about puppies, rainbows and cute little babies when we're feeling mopey, and imagine all the beauty that could be waiting, heck -- just around the next corner!
