Give me a break...

[vodkazvictim]

Ever feel like you or those around you need a break?
After the CCCP collapsed we in the west were supposed to live in paradise. Apparently not, now we have uber terrorists. whose evil omnipresent omnipotence is demonstrated by their invisibility.
Thatcher's dead and gone. But her ghost lives on and ensures that the NHS I pay for will soon be useless.
I went to uni, but apparently that's useless on the jobs market now.
I feel like every time I triumph, there's just a bigger mountain in the way.
Not just for me, but my country and in fact all of us.
Things never seem to get easier, only harder.
But looking at the advancements we've made (eradication of polio, etc), surely I'm just being maudelin? Thoughts?

I feel the same way lately... I see people doing the bare minimum and doing just as well as me, while I'm busting my ass and trying to do the very best I can every day.

I feel like Sisyphus... maybe Camus had it right and that's just the human condition? :dunno:

Whatever the answer, I am feeling tired these days, very tired... and I never feel tired.

If you need a break, take one. Don't concern yourself with matters out of your control.

Something tells me you have chronic high blood pressure, vodkaz

Yeah this whole planet seems to be slowing and becomming a bit stale. Here in the USA I feel like we've become lazy and seem to be afraid to push the envelope anymore!

I don't know maybe we need another cold war, some country or power to rise up that will wake us up and make us once again push ourselves, make those innovations and do the things that made us great!!

I think the problem with western countries is that the people have realised that it doesn't matter how hard they work; they'll never get ahead.

china is currently growing like anything, but once the majority realise that only a few will actually get the profit they deserve (and then some) I predict china will slow.
