Question is, what do you value? With such a stance on life, you sure as hell must be something close to an objectivist to be able to survive mentally. That is: do you rule out the suckers in life, minimize your external dependency and recognise the virtue in your personal goals? Because I seem to remember that's not really you either...

Well, what you mean by surviving mentally? As far as I'm concerned, a little alcohol (and sometimes a little more) always does the trick somehow. :D
Chief:
infinite actually has a good point. that comes more into negative and positive thinking though, it is not healthy to be worried about shit all the time, and to think negatively about people.

Of course not. But you're telling me that my own heart would feel comfortable with a fucked up reality. I disagree.

When did I say your own heart would be comfortable with a fucked up reality?
Let me try to explain it in a different way. A man can have billions, live in a mansion, etc... but if the conversation in his own head is not good, then he can't even sleep at night and he is miserable even though he's sleeping in a mansion.
I think it was Yogunda that said, "Having material wealth and having no inner-peace, is like being thirsty while bathing in a lake".

So far so good, but what's with being thirsty while being lost in the desert?

It's simple as this: if you're able to cope with reality, you won't be having any trouble. Nor should you need alcohol to survive in that case. That's just what I mean by being able to survive mentally: are you strong enough cope with life? Otherwise, you've basically turned yourself into a helpless victim...
