over the past few days, i've posted lots of emo/depressing shit to my statuses on facebook/twitter (they're linked, don't call me a weirdo). these posts have been commented on and "like"d by so many people.
Inquiry: why do people like/identify with misery so much better than they do with comedy or joy?
over the course of my very short and inconsequential time on this earth, i've said some pretty funny shit. i've told some funny ass stories. i've made thousands of people laugh (okay, maybe not thousands, but definitely high numbers). but very few of them actually have a connection to the funny, happy stuff i have to say. they laugh. it's a good time; then it's forgotten.
why is joy so fleeting, yes misery so everlasting?
i like to think i've led a happy life. scratch that. i have led a happy life. but when i'm feeling shitty and emotional (like the past week) everyone "likes" that. everyone can relate to some similar experience, despite magnitude or exact situation. and everyone is so willing to join you in misery.
everyone is so sad, deep down. deep underneath that facade they show the world. everyone is miserable.
damn that's a shitty conclusion... didn't wanna arrive at that one =/
