You are an asteroid away from going from wondering if you're really happy, to wondering if you can chew bark off a tree for food.
You're going to die. Fast, slow, soon, decades from now - you die. You can postpone but not avoid. God? Afterlife? You'll find out no matter what you do. You, your friends, everyone you ever loved and hated will not only die but be forgotten within a couple of generations. Hell, by the time you're 80 or 90 all the accomplishments of everyone you knew will be meaningless. The world you lived in will become nearly unrecognizable.
Your problems mean nothing.
I know all this. I have more than I ever dreamed of having in life, with a few things less. I've been unhappy about some things lately, but in the grand scheme of survival they seem awfully damn petty - like I must have it pretty fucking good to worry about such drivel. Knowing this, I still can't think of anything else.
Gee, why do you drink?
