If you are feeling anxious and depressed, perhaps the last thing you need to read is a book written by Emil Cioran. He was a Romanian writer/philosopher who wrote some of the most pessimistic books on the planet, including one entitled 'The Trouble with Being Born'. However, the book is beautifully written, and it shows what other people have to endure during their lifetime. I am always interested in what other people have to go through although most of us wouldn't feel compelled to write about it. I could write a hundred books about my life in the hope that it would help other people. Unfortunately, I lack the motivation to accomplish such a task, so I come on to the BB forum to try to do it that way. Litle snippets of experience and knowledge that might just prove useful to someone who is undergoing a similar experience. Sometimes, when I outline something on here, I think afterwards that nobody would have done what I did anyway. For example, as a child I was convinced that my life was preordained in some way and that all I had to do was show up and everything would work out fine. Not so! In reality, you have to fight for everything you want while trying to assure people that you are worth their time. Naturally, other people have had a hand in my downfall because I was convinced that everyone had my back. Not so! We are in competition with every other person on the planet and they don't always have our best interests at heart. It would be nifty if we could transfer the history of our lives to a DVD and use them as training tools for the upcoming generation. Just an idea!
