while all humans are on a path to self-discovery, happiness, success. There's also the inevitable chaos of the universe at work. Which sometimes just makes things seem meaningless.
I have been blessed with a lot. I'm naturally shy/anxious which has always been a difficult battle. But I come from a wealthy background, first world country, have friends/girlfriend, tall, and decently attractive.
Guess what, even after all that, I've been severely depressed due to chronic health conditions. I often fantasize about a life where I'm reborn and don't go through this. But then I realize, what's to say I'm not born in a third world country, born into poverty, born with some genetic disease. Not to mention all of the things that can occur throughout a 70 year long life that can be really difficult to deal with.
It just feels like life's a joke sometimes. Easy to be happy when everything's going fine. But we're really just organisms in a chaotic universe. Things go wrong and things are bad. And if it's not happening to you, then it's happening to someone else
