You need to realize that you have a degree of power over your life, and a lot of that comes from your perception of it.
It's not about what knocks you down, its not letting anything keep you down for a second longer than it should.
Push back, do something about your problems, stop letting them bully you into the cynical twat you've become.
You're not talking about anything that will actually improve my life all you're suggesting is that I stop acknowledging that Murphy's law is relentless and just sit there and smile all the same.
