"To Be..., or Not To Be... That, is the question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune..."  ~Shakespeare

Some seem to be going through life with little or no energy, and of poor spirit. Admittedly, society can heap huge dispair on our daily lives by forcing us to endure situations that can be intolerable at best. But is it ever a cause for self-pity, or the impetus for feeling sorry for ourselves? This is the question.

Everyone experiences severe emotional pain, or a horrific situation which may seem completely unbearable at some points in their lives. Some can cope much better than others, but in either case, it can be worked through by making changes, taking on new challenges, or even participating in something productive, things will generally get better over time. One must know without a doubt, that no matter what happens, it will always work out and it will be okay.

I support a person's right to do what they will with their life. Each individual is responsible for their own happiness and if someone decides to end their life, that's completely their choice alone and no one else's business. However, if the thought ever crosses your mind, go for a walk, take another hit of fresh air, talk to friends and family, or do something you really enjoy to take your mind off of it until it passes.

Life can be good when you work at it, sometimes things go wrong, but don't ever feel sorry for yourself. Simply let it go. That is the answer.
