I guess it's something to complain about. It might be best for some to remember: Hacker News is not work. Reading is a supplement to work. If the Jokes bug you, maybe you can take the day off and get something done.
Furthermore, if it was work, if you can't take 1 day away from it to have a little fun, you are going to going to beat the rest of us into a pine box.
Life isn't about what you get - it's about enjoying what you get.
- JonnieCache 15y agoLife isn't about what you get - it's about enjoying what you get. This is a superb axiom to live by.
- pathik 15y agoIt's also very unambitious. Life's also about working to get what you want, then enjoying what you wanted so much, then realizing that you wanted something more, and then working harder to get that as well.
- JonnieCache 15y agoTrue. But if during that process you are always by default happy with what you have at any given moment, then you can't lose.
- pathik 15y agoIf you are always happy with what you have, then, by definition, you don't want anything else. As much as I would love to be happy, the way I see it, if you are always happy, you have already lost. Unless, of course, you have already made your billions.
- JonnieCache 15y agoI'm happy now. I imagine I'd be more happy if I had more stuff/cash, for some definition of happy. Therefore it's good now and it only gets better. The problem starts when you decide that you don't have enough, and this makes you unhappy. Then you pursue the stuff thinking it'll make you happy. Starting from that viewpoint, I don't think it ever will.
- jarek 15y agoI want what I have.
- phernandez 15y agoI wish I could down vote this.
