I do this, or in other words, I had to do this to go on. I think everyone comes up with some philosophy to keep on going. Even a street bum might have come up with philosophy on par with some of the greats that keeps them going...

In fact, for this particular idea, I am so over the edge that I sometimes feel pity for those conventionally lucky people who seemingly have it all and don't have a struggle on their on. I mean, what is the point of their life? But I find consolation in the possibility that they might have hidden struggles...

Only a precious few are so lucky that they don't have secret miseries. So you didn't get lucky -- I didn't either. Gotta take your licks and move on.

Besides, there is a way to transcend that unhappiness. I've seen people meditate their way out of it, but it takes years of study and discipline. The only reason why every psychiatrist doesn't tell you to start doing it is you can't just tell someone to work hard at something, they have to want to do it themselves.
