Depending on the OPs circumstances, that realization may actually be what is causing them their bad times.
Friend of mine has had ideation for a long ass time and the frequency of them trying to step out of life increased considerably when that realization hit them.
When you're already feeling worthless and without purpose, realizing nothing has purpose and this whole concept of life and living we have is utterly meaningless in the grand scale of the universe, it's not ideal.
Their initial sale isn't to the middle east or in any way driven by the middle eastern market and tends to be completely done on the merit of the vehicle.
The trucks in the middle east are almost all second hand to the level some people were horrified and surprised when the vehicle they sold in the US, still bearing their logos and name, showed up in videos of insurgents and straight up terrorists in the Middle East.
Yeah, that's it, I'm GenX, but I actually had a PC in the home as early as I can remember, got my own by age 8 and build my own age 10.
That's how some of these generational boundaries blur together, where the experience that defines one, can already have been part of the previous in specific circumstances.
And personally, I've VERY interested in seeing 10 years down the line when we have the first adults who grew up with on-demand streaming and tablets/phones.
When I was a child, they shoved a picture book in my hands to keep me entertained while sitting still.
Now, you give them a tablet and they can watch YouTube or cartoons, right in their hands.
Really wonder what difference this kind of thing will cause.
And the late Gen-Xers, who, if they were nerds, often were the first to grow up with computers and internet in their lives.
I'm 45, I know plenty people my age who are grandparents.
Me personally, I was always on the bleeding edge of tech, worked in tech all my professional life too, so I'm less affected by this behavior.
But it makes it really hard to keep in touch with people my age online.
I was one of the first to join Facebook and one of the first to abandon it. But I had to make a new Facebook account about 5 years ago because these days my whole family keeps in touch through Facebook and sets up family gatherings through it and Whatsapp and lost the ability to text me that info ...
If you look at the history of the Goa'uld coming to earth 12000 years ago and ruling most of the Galaxy for nearly as long, Jack ended all that within the confines of a single decade.
When Netflix and Premium came along, I switched from pirating literally everything to finding that I had access to everything I wanted to watch between 15-30€ a month combined. Cheaper than a TV sub here costs (and a TV sub here didn't have the shows I wanted to watch).
Then the whole streaming market fragmented with every jackass on earth starting their own and removing a buttload of content from Netflix and YouTube.
Resulting in that if I wanted to watch everything I want to watch, I'd be paying north of 150€ a month.
So I pulled my wooden leg and dead parrot out of my closet and resumed pirating.
Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?
