I doubt there's anyone in our society who hasn't heard that adage at one point or another. Not that it isn't meaningful, but I don't think hearing it repeated again justifies the toll on mental health that comes with it in this instance.
- grecy 6y agoI assure you, I've heard it (and said) it tens of thousands of times in my life. Looking back, I didn't even know what it meant until I lost my Mum a year ago at age 67 to cancer. Life is damn short, and the most important thing you can do is have happiness right now.
- asveikau 6y agoI suspect what you may be describing is that it doesn't resonate with everybody all the time. But I think it's pretty common for some life experience to hit hard and someone realizes that all the corny, hackneyed cliches, as silly and overly simple as they seemed, basically had something to it. Then it clicks. But I am sorry to hear about the toll on mental health.
