It simply amazing how many emotions people can have. So why do I only feel rage and fear? I mean really. Today I get told from my district manager its a good chance I won't get my big raise, because a customer lied to them about what I supposely did. Apperently she came in at a X time, where me and coworker made fun of her, and I refused to sell her a carton of cigs. Strange since X time my coworker wasnt even there, and one of the two days she said it happen I didn't even work that day! But I understand customers and their so called time placement. I looked through the time I and coworker were there. Only one lady bought a carton of cigs. I vaguly remembered her only afterwards, because I comment it was lucky I was there since manager and I are the only ones who had access to the cartons, like the one she wanted. I check her lottery, she lost, she paid for her carton, and stormed out. Typical customer really. But despite that, since a customer still did a complaint, means I must have done something wrong, and therefor might only get a nickle/dime raise.

But whatever. I talked to a sleepy friend, who made me feel pretty good. Hard to do. I normally just plain hate myself. Even if it might have been in fun/humor or whatnot, ( I doubt it, I really belive it was for real, but you know, past experence). I was on cloud nine.

Then the fucking shoplifter. Pocketing a bottle of wine. Since the warnings I got and screaming I got, I can't get any more complaints/trouble or I might seriously just get only a nickle raise. What gets me, is the son of the bitch had money. LOTS of it. I made mention of him to give it back, but he just pulled out his wallet to show me all his twenties, why would he steal if he had money.

Which just got to me. These bastards. This criminals. Horrible people. THey always, always win. The good guys lose. The people in the right path just. fucking. lose. Which makes me shilver with rage, both at them and myself, because i don't have the strength, power, legality, or any kind of thing to do to them, but watch them laugh and smirk as they cheat at life and get ahead. Despite my wish to just grab that chain and beat them. Maybe then they'll learn. Everytime someone breaks a true law, or hurts, or murders, just freaking beat them. Horribly. Don't need to kill., just hurt them badily so they can learn wrong=pain.
But small good things can happen. We were saying goodbye to a friend today, because she moving. We went to a restraunt. I didn't like the burger, I took one bite and nearly puked. I apolgied to the waiter, and told him I just didn't like it. Didn't demand, or even expect anything really. But he still comp me for it. Which made me feel good. I gave a good tip for that. But those good feelings I get, as rare as they are, are nearly destroyed, because I waste the time and energy, and just can't stop thinking of thier smirkings, and laughter.
They always win. I may have small victories, but it will never end. I don't know how. I'd like to feel other stuff, nor am I trying to throw a pity party as it sounds like to me even, but just, I don't. I feel a race of the heart as both fear, and nervous, or utter rage that I just want to scream and beat stuff. But then I'd wake others up, or hurt my hands. Then I'd get yelled at.
I tried a vivarin today. It works. I also learned that 50 of them is a lethal dose. I won't do anything, it jsut crossed my mind how easy it would be. Cheap, likely painful but what else is there in life. You cannot win. It just one smashing defeat after another after another, and it'll get worst. My slightly more for the simple fact I have Neurofibromatosis. The only one in my family.
Sorry. I just needed to rant. I can't to my family because they'll freak out, I can't tell my best friend since he still bitching and ranting about his ex only being his friend. He gets angry and starts crying at times. I tried to help him, but he just doesn't want anything except him talk about how good he is, how he never judges others (bullshit) blah blah, while me and his ex nod our heads saying yes you are. For five hours. (We've time this, and we start to tune him out, which freaked him out even more).

So people can have a wide arrainge of feeelings. What makes people here feel differntly? Maybe I can take some advice to get new feelings?

I don't know if I can help, but one thing I have found that helps me is remembering that sometimes the good guys really do win. The best attitude you can have is just to enjoy life and enjoy yourself, and laugh at what happens around you. I know, I know, easier said than done, but if you can do that, everything else falls into perspective. I have a much different view on life this year than last, and it has helped me in countless ways.

And on another note, if you really want to know about how sometimes the good guys do win, see the movie "Defiance," based on a true story. I was moved, perhaps more than most because I am Jewish and part of my ancestry is Belarussian, so it hit home more with me than it might some others, but it is still a fantastic story about not giving up or giving in. I cannot give a higher recommendation for a movie than this one. See it, and it might help you put things in your own life in perspective.

I know it did mine.

I know. There's something so incredibly wrong when I see the guilty prosper and the innocent suffer. How the hell does that happen? Where's the justice?

Philosophers and theologians have pondered this same thing for centuries and there are no answers.

I guess the only comfort I can offer is that you are in good company and that the feelings of rage at the universe aren't permanent.

The moments when things makes sense do happen if you are willing to notice them. Your story about the hamburger and waiter is evidence that you know that. :)

Jester: Never heard of it. I'm going to rent it when I can.
McGoddess: Not a dream, though it was to me :)
Dips: I guess. I just wish it happened more often. Maybe I should start to study philosopy more.

I guess the only advice I can give you is to don't stop believing. Karma is very, very slow at times. Trust me, I've sat and fumed over the fact that terrible people have gotten farther than me by cheating or ass kissing or doing rotten things, but I do know that ONE day, it will all catch up to them. It has to.

I'm too drunk to get philosophical right now, but yea, it seems like everyone who breaks the ruels and does whatever the hell they want manages to get whatever the hell they want. Why I know that yet continue to not follow that path is way beyond me.

Nah, philosophy's kind of dry. ;-) Just keep being you and don't give in. Remember how you sent a PM to me? And it turned out it was just when I needed it? I haven't forgotten that.

You can't make everything better. You can't fight every battle. Pain and evil are our constant companions. I've been so angry that I'm surprised my thoughts haven't reached out and harmed someone. I've been in such despair that I can't believe I haven't died from it.

Despite that we find ways to not give up. For me it can be due to something small like the advent circle incident (http://www.customerssuck.com/board/showthread.php?t=41806), your PM, or an unusually breathtaking cloud formation that appeared on what would have been my son's 11th birthday. I've attached a picture for you. I hope it helps.

"Defiance" is actually in the theaters now. It stars Daniel Craig and Liev Schrieber.

Why I know that yet continue to not follow that path is way beyond me.

Because you are not a morally bankrupt turd monkey like they are?

Well,Plaidman, I have my theory about your dilemma. The reason why the good people get punished is because the higher ups expected better of you and are disappointed. They choose to ignore the other people because it is what they expect to happen. I'm not saying that it's right that they do this, but that's just my theory.

You're a great guy,Plaidman. You have sent me some PMs when I was down and you text/call me when I really want someone to talk to.

Never let anyone tell you that you are worthless, because you are worth something to at least one person...me.

Hm, fair enough.
