How to deal with disappointment.

works for me!

I’ll give it a shot

Only the dead float with the flow


No thanks

Truth helps me fly and swim
Disappointment is a passenger. I don’t mind them tagging along.

Just go with the flow people! You'll be so much happier.

I just carry around a pocket full of fuckits everywhere I go!

It's easy to say shit like that.

Dumb OP stumbled on some stupid quotation or read about Buddhism on Wikipedia and now thinks he figured it out.

But he's still disappointed when good things don't happen, just like everybody else.

Idiot.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the Deep State. The Deep State, secretly running your government for over 100yrs.

My favorite one is when the other serfs tell me that the rich and the successful dont use brothels and do not require hookers to settle office affairs, that its the lame and the poor that finance the sex industry, lol.

Sometimes you have to look outside yourself.

Given that I live what the OP is talking about every day, I dont find it unbelievable that the OP does too.

The key is to see that "good things" are temporary and desire simply makes you want more and more. And the more you want, the less you have, because you cannot want and have at the same time - those are diametrically opposed and just lead to feeling all kinds of "bad things."

It's just rational to not be attached to good things happening.

you just remind your self it will only be 4 years...
