This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No debate there but I don't think you can extend that truth into suggesting that everyone could just as easily be fulfilled if they just "focus their energy on other aspects of their lives".

Yeah, that's a classic logical fallacy. What's true for one isn't likely true for most, and what's true for most isn't necessarily true for one.

i call that phenomenon "over-generalization". you observe yourself and assume that everybody feels the same way, which, empirically, is simply not the case.
