You might be working your ass off, but if you'd come from a poor background you'd probably be taking that same work ethic to be the best poor dude you can be. For all my lack of accomplishment, much of my lack of self-esteem has been entirely due to my failure to live up to my middle-class family. If my family had been poor when I became cognizant then I'd probably be much more satisfied with my poverty, but they weren't and I am not. Don't let where you are now fool you to where you could have been in other circumstances.

oh i totally agree with you on that. things can always be worse than they are. but at the end of the day all you can do is try your hardest to work through it if you want to escape. there's no guarantee you will, sure, but that's the sad reality of capitalism. some people are lucky enough to have work ethic beat into you like i was, others need to learn it themselves.
btw the alcohol is making you emotional again, way to go way overboard off of a joke i made.
