Moving On/Going Back

Why is it that we have to always go forwards. I would like to go back to the beginning of time and sort out who created this mess we are all enduring. I would like to go back and correct all of my mistakes. Why go forward when we are not any further on? People always say "move on", why move on if you are not ready? It's like giving a blind person a ferrari.

If we didnt have the low times, we wouldnt know how to appreciate the good times (high). Hell, I experience both all the time for no apparent reason, dont you? WTF!!!! Brings me back to the same old question...WHY are we HERE?

I always ask that "why are we here". I think it's somebody's idea of a joke. I don't want to be here but because other people do, I am abnormal. I believe I have choice and if I don't want to be here then I should be able to get help ending it. It would certainly save the government money to help me end it all than to keep me on meds and government grants.

On the positive side, at least you have retained a hold on the concept of time.

For many in Bipolar..the whole idea of time goes out the window.
It's like a year is a day yet it's a thousand years but only in retrospect.

I think we're here because there's an excessive amount of horniness among people, abetted by drink. It's nature's way and that's hard to argue with. Everybody has a choice. Other people have the choice to not help you. That appears to be what government is for.

It's all semantic antics. Is taking a breath a move forward? I've tried walking backwards and it's not efficient. If I turn around and walk back the way I've come am I moving forward in that direction? It's all about survival, isn't it?
As Terry Pratchett says,
"Survival is a matter of practice." So lets keep practicing until we've got it right!

Some people do not want to survive. I don't. What for? Is there any prizes for surviving? If so, what?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
