I think some people get into a pattern of complaining and bashing. It's comfortable, it provides reassurance. I do it, we all do it. Yet, it can become corrosive. I have the good fortune to have people around me who think differently then me. I have the inclination to not continuously want to fight. I want to like people. I also disengage and see that everything even arguments and ideology have diminishing returns and if taken too far you only hurt yourself. Sites like this you have rageaholics who stew and mutually support each other race to a bottom. Just my take. It's knee jerk disgust and anger. Yet, they see nothing wrong with it.

But the jokes on them because ultimately their pattern of conduct leaves them unhappier. It's the paradox of social media and internet forums. It's fun on the short term it provides amusement but is poison. Plenty of studies I believe show those who spend a great deal of time online suffer from issues like depression and self esteem issues. They are often detached from actual meaningful human interaction. Yet, they can change and be more positive if they want to.

The irony of course is you have 3,600 posts on a internet forum and the one you quoted has almost 6,500+. Who is the one who is online too much? LOL

Nope check my history. I am here sporadically. Nice try. I disappear for months at time. I realize this type of interaction is not healthy in big doses. When I do choose to post now, I don't overly engage. I used to. No longer. Take my input to heart or don't. I also always try to be positive and start threads that aim to start positive conversations about simple human and happy topics. But anyway, your entitled to your opinion. But thinking positively, your post reminds me the spirit I dislike about posting sites, so I will leave for a few weeks. Peace and have a nice weekend.
