If I say I need everybody to fucking kiss my ass, what do you think the response will be?  Should everyone fucking kiss my ass?

Saying one needs something means absolutely no goddamned thing.


As for whether a life is worth living or not, if that is what is bothering you, if others wish to continue a bad life, it is not a problem for me.  I do not wish to force my wishes on them.  Nevertheless, I judge a bad life to not be worth living.  That someone else chooses otherwise is their problem.
