Grade school philosophy will probably not get you far in life, at any rate.

Why not just deal with it and move on? I must be one of the few that just deals with shit as it comes and moves on easily. I really don't get how people just dwell on things and let it effect their lives. I do what I do and handle it with ease.

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

In the end, will anything that came before that end matter in the end?

To leave a legacy. Something positive to be remembered by is the best answer I can think of.

Whether that matters or not is up to you. You can choose for it to matter or you can choose for it not to matter to you at this time. You can also change your mind over whether it matters or not at any time before the end. The sooner you choose for it to matter, the more time you will have to carry out the change you already know you wish to make.

The question may arise, can you handle the stress? Yes of course you can, you've handled stress before.

That's the best answer I can give speaking in a general sense. For a more detailed analysis I would of course require more specific details on what exactly you are talking about.

I like this thread Naer. It's possibly a very good topic to discuss. One of your better thread ideas actually. I don't expect it to be treated with much seriousness or insight by most of this place's inhabitants but you should know that is not your fault.

You can't not change. You are changing right now. You are becoming.

You are given a measure of influence over what you are to become. Use it wisely.

You'd actually be surprised how applicable this is to the situation. You have to struggle and fail to get through a big change usually. Most opt out/check out. You're quoting it based on the last line but I actually interpret it in the opposite way. Eventually you adapt and the struggling doesn't matter. Its not as big of a deal as most think.
