I don't really see them as two separate things. My perspective on life has always been one that intermittently thrusts me into despair. I said in the post I've been this way since I was around ten. I guess I'm in peace; maybe, as in the dead man's float, I've found it best to give myself over to its currents and let them carry me...to what shores, I know not.
All men are not created equal. We're each born with different abilities, temperaments, appearances et al. This is one thing that makes me sad, as some people will have natural advantages over others. Our current education system, for example, favors very specific kinds of intelligence. Given that education is often so integral to financial success, which is necessary for adequate living, some people are born at a disadvantage. It's just things like that...
It's like acd said: accept the things you can't change; change the things you can. I think that's what you meant in the second part? Are you sad a lot?
