A disgusting experiment

Let's take a look in the sick lands of heavy metal! Most people who listen to songs like this for the first time reacts saying "That sucks!". It is a song by Cattle Decapitation, a veeery extreme death metal band. Try to listen to it, I am not asking you to do it until the end, but at least for a minute. Done? Ok, let's move on. From zero to one hundred, what rating would you rate the song in terms of its musical value? Done? Well. Now try to watch this video too. Someone has a very very positive opinion. Someone is happy to listen to this music. There is nothing truly objective. Much (perhaps all) of what we think is an opinion. Not a fact.

Which means that a flat tire can happen even for two days in a row. When such things happen to us, we remain painfully amazed, struck by a sense of betrayal. These things are never explained to us in kindergarten, because adults think that it is better to keep ourselves safe from the sad truths of life. Paving the way for the use of heroin, I would say at this point. Reassurances harm mental health, we've already talked about it here . To the question "Why me?" the only intelligent answer is: "Why not?" We are not special. The world goes on, and sometimes it happens that the clouds of poop gather more numerous over our heads. It is not bad luck. The world works this way. Let us be realistic: it is the only way to give more space to joy, and less to anger and despair...
