I've been convinced since I was very young that we all seem to have our own struggle. But over the past 20 years I've noticed that many movies are filled with grief. They were written in different times, yet they show the same struggles that even today a majority of us deal with. The same depressions and emotions regarding "Life" are the same today as they were then.

I noticed just recently that when they show the bio of each player on Survivor, each person has their own tale of woe that they've lived through or are living through.

In 1888, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche first stated, “Out of life's school of war—what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger.”

Life's school of war? I think that says it all. Every one of us has our own journey that is wrought with it's own struggles.

Just having the word War in the same sentence as Life is jarring. War = struggle Def: grapple, tussle, wrestle, combat, fight, battle

That's funny. Clearly that's where these phrases came from… Grappling with life, grappling with depression, fighting for your life, life's battle, wrestle with depression, wrestling with life

That's kind of crazy that I just put that together as I was finding synonyms for "struggle".

I think Bill Burr said it best "We're all eating a giant shit sandwich out here, nobody cares. I don't care" - Bill Burr

The concept of the shit sandwich is that everything sucks, some of the time. If you want something, you must be willing to take the bad along with the good.

“What’s your favorite flavor of shit sandwich?” What Manson means is that every single pursuit—no matter how wonderful and exciting and glamorous it may initially seem—comes with its own brand of shit sandwich, its own lousy side effects. As Manson writes with profound wisdom: “Everything sucks, some of the time.” - Goodreads

Over the past decade I finally came to terms with my shit sandwich(life) and I'm grateful to be alive every day. I laugh before I go to bed, I actually say this almost ever night "I can't believe you made it through another day on this planet! This is nuts! Bahahahaha!"

Just being alive is nuts. It's really hardcore matrix. It's nothing but it's something, and it's something but it's nothing.

There was a movie…Thor:Ragnarok the guy made out of rock says, "Nah nothing makes sense here man. The only thing that makes sense, IS that nothing makes sense" …I say it holds true

This place is a nuthouse. I'm getting off topic but we still have people running around in loin clothes, and we have people flying around the Earth in a space station. We have philosophers, geniuses, dictators and mass murderers. Canoes, roses, pyramids, diamonds, lipstick, electric cars, high heeled shoes, cowboy hats, cake, plastic bags and oil, and EVERYTHING in between. So much is here, and so much we added. The whole Universe is beyond our imagination and full of ecstasy, but we're forced to cower down and be a human who contemplates society and our place in it, and how to orchestrate our day to continue our daily lives.

And I guess I just discovered and defined for myself what a shit sandwich is….oh well back to eating
