    Existence is suffering only when you have the goal to be "happy forever" after something. The moment you learn you WON'T be happy forever after marriage, kids, college, promotion everything changes. Happiness isn't a stage of life, is a felling. Just like sadness it come and go.

      If you're an American, the chances are about 1 in 430,000. If you have attended Harvard university, the chances are about 1 in 1800. One of the more crazier things is that, since Harvard has an acceptance rate of about 4%, you have a chance of 1 in 44,600 to become a billionaire if you're an American highschooler. You are more likely to become a billionaire if you're a highschooler than you are likely to be eaten by sharks.
      Obviously correlation does not imply causation. Getting into Harvard for a philosophy degree worsens your chances of becoming a billionaire than you DROPPING OUT of Harvard, so yeah, these stats can be manipulated in whichever way to paint very different pictures based on the context.

    When he said “You might be the one in 250 who are geniuses” it made realize how rare a “genius” is and it pleased me. Now it’s not for certain, since I am young but so far, through my life I have felt like, done like and been told I’m a genius. One in 250, well I certainly stand out amongst that many people. Though when I think about it, that isn’t too small of a chance, considering the odds of a pedestrian dying from a car is 1 in 541.

    The odds of dying to a vending machine are much higher than dying to a shark because of how frequently we are with vending machines. If encounters with a vending machine were just as rare as encounters with sharks, the odds of dying to sharks would be much greater than dying to a vending machine. That’s not to say that sharks are these big scary monsters as the film industry would lead you to believe.

I recently watched this video about depression, a spoken word/rap that was amazingly written and produced. If you're interested, it's If Depression Was A Person, by Prince EA. Also, it's never embarrassing to ask for help if you need it. Please don't make any permanent decisions because of temporary problems. You're worth the struggle to find meaning and happiness in life. You being born was lucky. You being born was special, because you're special. I hope that one day you realize that💙 Have a good day/night.

    Not a hater but the odds part was kind of inaccurate, like think about it,
    the odds that you'll be killed by a shark is low because the odds that you'll encounter one is low.
    the odds of getting killed by a dog is comparatively high coz you're more likely to encounter one. so it doesn't really portray a clear picture.
