This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

you don't get to decide that for other people. they do.
we have no control over other people, especially not their inner emotional lives.
So? That's their problem. There are people who'd dance on my grave if I died tomorrow, too, and what they think has just as little bearing on my decision to keep living. Categorically irrelevant. You can't show someone the beauty and joy of living by dragging them through shame. Worse still, pegging your self-worth to others' suffering creates an implicit threshold, a thought stuck in the back of your mind: "What if the suffering I cause now is more than the momentary pain I'd cause by stopping?"
It feels good to tell people things like this. It's one of the most awful things to hear.
so if it's their problem why are you resenting them for not sharing in your views? why do you feel compelled to pass judgement on them for not sharing your philosophy and feelings on life?
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Who are "they," and what is "that" in your initial reply?
