Useless Fucking Platitudes!


Published to Tumblr January 24, 2016

I FUCKING HATE THIS KIND OF HAPPY LITTLE PLATITUDE!!!
Who says things will turn out well? I’m not being pessimistic, just realistic. Would you say this to someone who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer or a chronic, debilitating illness? Hell, no. Well, don’t say it to people with a mental illness, either. 
Our society has been brainwashed by Disney’s sanitized versions of the old Fairy Tales, romantic comedies, and action movies where the hero always wins. I hate to break this to you, but it rarely works that way. Yes, life has its ups and downs, but there is no guarantee at all that everything is going to turn out great, let alone be the “best”. 
Which, of course, brings us around to all these new age crap “healing” groups and trends. If all it took to be healed and happy was positive thinking and rubbing a few crystals I’d be 100%. They are just expensive versions of chain letters.
