I'm sure we all know these kinds of people, maybe you are one?
The kinds of people that by the effort they put into things, the attitudes they have, just the general manner by which they live. They shouldn't be "making" it in the world, infact they should be failed, saked, and rejected. Yet somehow, in some ignorantly bliss manner they coast through life, and it just falls on a plate, they seem to have it all just happen so sweetly.
Now bad stuff happens to them too, but over all they seem to get the things in life that other people can work hard for but for one reason or another (possibly dumb luck), these coasters get instead.
Now is this just a selfish attitude, instead I/we should be happy for these people, becasue in some cases they are friends or family.
Personally I'd say stop feeling sorry for my/(our) self and just try harder, but some people just seem so blessed, and some of us just seem so cursed.
rant over.

yes, I hold a bad attitude towards these people, I hold it inside though... I am now going to try to change it.
you know this debate has been on record ...
you know this debate has been on record longer than ancient roman times... virgil touches on this topic in the aeneid... how the bad man gets all the good fortune but the good man does not... cant remember everything but think the whole message went along the lines of the beginning of christianity/ the stoic philosophy- good in this life= good in the afterlife, oppurtunity for new life after death... where as the bad man would be punished for his sins...
shakespeare also touched on it in King Lear... the whole wheel of fortune thing... those who do bad things will have to suffer the consequences later etc etc etc...
think thats what the saying "shit happens" is for... while these people cna annoy the hell out of you, you just have to let them be and go on as well as you can yourself, believing that there is better times ahead for you and in the long run all the hard work, all the effort you put in will pay off..i think iv gone off tpic...

one of my mates is like this... did no homework, barely any class work, hardly any study, would prepare for tests (literally) 5 minutes before (eg speaking tests in languages) and id work for ages and ages on it all... and shed still do better than me... every single time.. i have only ever once done better than her in an exam/test situation... it used to annoy me so much... cos she didnt deserve the marks, or the prizes at the end of the year for being top student... but i got over it... its just how it is... and in the end my good habits of working will get me somewhere... shes still, and always was, a good person but wheres she now...? doing drugs and thinking of going on the dole... no matter how hard iv tried to steer her away from that track...*sigh*

I am happy with what I have. I had a chance to 'swim with the sharks' once, but I didn't like the kinds of choices I'd have to make, or the kind of person I'd need to be. I care too much is the problem.

We saw that movie last weekend at the Paramount. I actually remember seeing it at the movies at Maidstone Mall in Upper Hutt way back when (I'm not from there - I'm actually a Pram chuck) and oh! the memories. I don't remember David's pants being quite so , erm, out there though.

Heaps of people are selfish. Its hard to find a decent boyfriend around. You only have to chill with them. Its hard to find exactly the right friends. How can this be? Man...you're real friends basically are the ones who have been there for a long time & who still act the same.
Everyones selfish in my eyes. Well, most anyway. Im not, Im just causing havoc & creating a little fame for thy queen. Always think of others before yourself & remember to remember yourself when you have helped others. Put others first & then you will benefit from the masters of your actions.

// Its hard to find a decent boyfriend around.
THATS SO TRUE!where are all the nice, single guys eh? all the ones around seem to be either taken or gay!
//Its hard to find exactly the right friends.
this is true too...
//you're real friends basically are the ones who have been there for a long time & who still act the same.
this isnt though... i wish my mates would grow up and stop acting like 12 year olds... "oh my god that guy was so hot rarara" "blondes are slags" "guys only go for blondes" Arghhhhhhhhh... thank god for uni and turning 18...
//Always think of others before yourself & remember to remember yourself when you have helped others. well said...

I must of come off way more bitter than I am.
I was just pointing out how everything some people touch turns to cold, and how others to dirt. Its not a reflection on them as a person as much as I made it sound. I just thought it was selfish that I sometimes get frustraited when people seem to pull it all off without trying or meaning too, and others can fall flat no matter how hard they try.
No, I don't think it is selfish to ...
No, I don't think it is selfish to think this way. It often seems that "life" is unfair ... that some people get all the luck and others none. But looked at another way perhaps those for whom everything turns to gold anre just turing their hand to waht they are good at while those who seem to fall flat on their face are attempting something for which they have no gift. Like it or not we are not all created equal ... we all have different talents. Unfortunately our personal aspirations may not coincide with our particular gift. I love sports ... rugby and cricket in particular. I played them when I was young and dreamt of playing cricket for NZ ... unfortunately my prowess at sport fell dismally short of the standards required. But I turned out to be pretty good at electronics and such ... my talents lie in different areas from my youthful aspirations ...
Life is random in dishing out the talents, rather than being un-fair.

Personally I think I'm just going through an awkward transformation period, where I'm no longer a teenager and I feel I should be totally independant now, but know I'm still somewhat lacking and am hoping to find my feet... *heres hoping*

Life is random indefinitely. You win some & lose heaps.
But when you win, its hit is way worth all the losses.
