Saviour Mode

Recently while chatting with a friend, he asked, "Do u think being gay means we are to suffer?"

"Definitely.", I answered.

A kinda pessimistic answer, but you know what, it is somewhat true. Gay life can be pretty harsh to those who are not well prepared, and suffering is the imminent outcome.

And then he asked, "Who can help us?"

"No one but ourselves.", was my answer.

After that I remember babbling a whole slew of philosophical stuff to him, no idea how they came to me, and no idea how much of it he understood as well, lol.

Basically I told him..

Self pitying is one of the root cause of suffering. If only we can take one step backwards and look from a wider perspective, instead of concentrating solely on our own misfortunes, we might find that there are actually a lot more things which are important around us.

The way I see it, if I couldn't find happiness for myself, why not help others get theirs instead? Which is why I have decided that it's about time I stop just thinking about my pity little self, and expand my horizons to the world around me.

Many don't realize it, self pity will only bring us further down into depression, drowned in the neverending whirlpool of sorrow that we created for ourselves. But if we put our focus on others, we'll be able to see further and wider of this beautiful world and find that there is actually many kinds of happiness to be found at every little corner.
