Life reminds me of playing scratch off lottery tickets

It's a scam! I knew people who been playing for years. They may win 100 bucks here and there but they wasted like 1000 trying to win it and that fact never even dawned on them. Life is like play scratch offs - no matter how much you "win" you're always be in the red.

Yeah, something always seems to happen to bring you down to square 1 eventually, even if it's just death. Must be some evil aliens or some shit that find our suffering funny.
