@LeftyHandedGuns Oh fuck off you twat.

I love this man. He is a national treasure.

I wouldn't try to dwell of it. The world isn't bad as you think.

Thank you. Self-pity is the worm in your heart that eats at you, day by day. My mom self-pity herself because of what she is and how she looks to people without opioion. Each day, it becomes more irksome as i hear her when she looks into the mirrior. I don't give a damn of how i look. I don't give a rat's fucking ass of other people of how they try to fit in too. I am who I am. Nothing more. If I was going to self pity about something, it would be something i did wrong and learn for it.

He is right. This is why the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche are so important.

@dsquaredproductions you really know nothing about stephen fry do you?

[e7l13]

@AxelQC somebody thats been to hell and back. he's not telling people how to feel, he's advising people how not to feel because its all a slippery slope.

[e7l13]

@preemptivestrike20 yes and he recovered from a major depression. i think that speaks for itself.

[preemptivestrike20]

I like Fry, but I take his psychological advice with a grain of salt. He is someone who tried to kill himself after all. .

I don't understand this or self pity, what if you ARE under-appreciated or you ARE hard done by? It makes you miserable but is that self pity? I don't get it ... Fuck this I'm going to build some doom robots, I'll show them, I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!

[siebenny]

this is the best advice I've EVER been given!
