In this modern age, we are constantly struggling to live a very fucking comfortable life. Our generation is a generation of "spoiled idiots" as comedian Louis CK have mentioned in the latenight talkshow "Conan." I could not agree more when I heard that. We are living in the best years of human existence and yet all we know is to fucking complain why we don't have an "instagramable" food shit to post like those vloggers or rich kids on instagram. Everyday you scroll on these social media sites unconsciously feeding your brain cravings that you don't need. You crave for the latest Nike shoes you saw on your friends' IG story, then you would resent your parents for not being able to buy it. Ha! Lucky for you! That's just your problem. What about the children who made those shoes? Can your problem possibly be deeper than child labor? And those kids who make shoes, can their problems match the problems of those kids who were tortured to death?

Some days, you should talk to yourself. Make a deal with your being. Know what you don't like and what you like. Maybe, you've been feeling bad because you haven't been able to stand up for yourself in years or you haven't noticed that you're not taking care of yourself . See, the problem here is that some people think anger is just a toxic emotion and it only causes problems but have you ever been angry to defend yourself? You should know that you have to accept that anger is natural, it has a healthy level. It is there because you need it, not to be consumed by it. If you'll just ignore it, man, you'll be a walking resentment in human form. Check yourself. You might like your dog more than yourself.
