All of us will occasionally whine about the small things that are going wrong with our lives in our ljs. Some people do this more than others. Whether its friends, bfs/gfs, parents, or just the unfairness of life we do ( Read more... )

The truth of the matter is that being individuals means we all have a different perspective on life and thats the real beauty of our lives and our society. We are able to debate these kind of things freely and openly, and i know i always appreciate hearing other's opinions even if they go against my own, because thats how we learn to live and function amongst each other..back onto the real subject ( ... )

But what's the point in worrying over something you have absolutely no control over? And what's the point in worrying over something that's already happened?

The only way to stop this terrorism is to:
A.) Adopt their belief systems.
B.) Kill them all.
C.) Change their minds.

If you're not going to do any of those three things, why worry about it. Until it effects you directly... why let it effect you indirectly? The people in London have already been hurt, and there's nothing you can do anymore. And it will probably happen again, and we have no idea when or where. So might as well just not worry about it, live your life, and if you wanna bitch about somethign, go for it. Cuz it's your life.

you're right you have no affect over when and where its going to happen and i wasnt trying to say that you should like live in fear of it or anything of that matter..i was using it more as an example to say that all over the world similar tradgeties occur and we shouldnt focus on all the bad that happens in our lives but instead on everything we had..cuz like u said nobody can control when the end comes..

you made some good points in ur response though nicely done

People still have the right to complian about things from time to time. If everyone just pretended to be happy all the time, it would cause problems. People don't just have needs, they also have wants.
Wants are a crucial part of living, and when your wants are not granted, occasionally it will upset you.
Holding this in will only lead to further mental problems down the line. I understand that some people may bitch about shit too much, but that doesn't mean that they should think about people in London that got bombed. They should think about what others have done for them. Thinking about what they could do for others is probably only a means to bringing them farther down.
