Why is life a contest.
Why do people compare their cards to see who has the worst draw.
Why is it neccessary.
Is it to gain pity and a sympathetic ear.
To hear ourselves talk and wallow in self-loathing?
What do you win when everyone around you affirms that your life is the suckiest of suck.
Does it immediately negate your current life and turn it positive then?
I don't understand.
What is this mechanism?
How is it productive.
How does having a tragic life make you better than everyone else.
It feels so
...trivial. and useless.
