What's the point

[suityou01]

Please read the topic subject. Please understand the question.

Now the context of this question is simple.

As I am approaching middle age, certain truths that I knew to be true are turning out to be lies.

I knew that if you worked hard, tried your best you would always end up doing ok. Hard work was in itself a reward.

I also knew that if you treat others as you wish to be treated then also you would be ok. This again is a reward in itself.

This past few years I have noted that it matters not 1 **** how hard you work, you stand as much chance of getting shafted as much as the next guy.

This past few years I also note that it doesn't matter 1 **** how well you treat people, you stand as much chance of getting shafted as the next guy.

So what's the ******* point in working hard and treating people well? You're only going to end up getting ******* shafted in the end any ******* ways.

Rather past middle age but from my experience I rather doubt if any of that is statistically true. Some are unlucky of course. So what's gone wrong in your life Suity?

You got it all wrong. You must not work hard and be nice to people. You must be a lovable dick. Just like me.

So if you end up on your death bed believing in God - some people do have a change of heart then- you don't worry about burning in hell.

It's called self respect innit?

The point is revenge.

You see if you do all of these things, and you still get shafted, then revenge is fully justified.

Revenge is sweet

Well you could start on the path to recovery by a simple method. Stop being and acting like an utter self obsessed twat, maybe the World will treat you better then.

Admittedly it would take a monumental effort and be an astounding achievement to get you to the point of just being a complete tit, but you never know, you may manage it.
