At times.But I now realize it's kharma for all the bad things I have done.
And I have been a very, very bad boy.
So I accept it almost embrace it.
As I deserve it.

Life isn't always a bowl of cherries. I just lick my wounds and get back in the saddle.

There’s always somebody in a worse situation than you. And if you’re the unluckiest man living in Ireland today think about history. The only reason we can’t say thank god we live in these times is because we never had it so good before.000
But for Ireland this isn’t even that true. If any place still stands tall under neoliberalism it will be Ireland because Dublin is the heart of the swamp. Through pity or affection the Irish have been chosen as the worlds remedials, corporations pay 10 billion in taxes to you instead of 100 billion in taxes to us and that 10 billion provides work and benefits for Paddy.

If the American looks 70+ years into his past, the Brit 60+ years into his past, and the Irish 40+ years they would soon find nothing at all to feel envious about.

And the media. We are witness to so much tragedy and drama that people respond like people believe people respond to tragedy and drama however in reality there’s only a 50% chance of this outcome. Entertainment drama isn’t a spur to do the right thing in the same way that a dead hero is...
It’s like the greatest generation. Arguably the unluckiest generation in the history of mankind, but trying tell them that. Western society is seriously struggling because there are no longer any old people who appreciate what they’ve had. All people born after 1940(in America),1950(in Britain)and 1970(in Ireland)are similar in attitude and outlook.

If times were that bad surely things would be more heroic. And honest.
Honest in an important way. Not honest in that small way of swearing at anybody because they’re feelings don’t matter, I mean honest in an important way. To tell the truth when it matters, in the good old days they didn’t mostly avoid swearing because they were all charlatans but because they experienced so much sorrow in their own life that they refused to invent any more of them.

Hi Pedro 
Only as a teenager, when I believed in destiny. Later I realized, it is not what is or isn't, it is how we react or don't react to it.

Suffice it to say you’re a generation behind in Ireland with at least ten years more funny money on a spoon before your own Brexit and Trump.
In ten or twenty years time the 21st century is going to bite hard in Ireland which will be the beginning of hard times. There are chapters in history that are all reward and other chapters that are all consequence, we have no choice but to face fate but at the same time we can take comfort from the fact that nobody does depression like the baby boomers. The luckiest generation don’t feel lucky.

And then the cycle repeats all over again.
What happens in the era of consequence is that merit doesn’t get rewarded. You do the biggest things man has ever done for character building reasons.
But when you see great people starving this leads to altruism. The generation of underpaid work builds the welfare state to redress the balance, but this same state creates a generation of overpaid work which leads to selfishness and the dismantling of said state which takes you back to the beginning.

In the era of reward people on benefits are seen like you. Could he work.. couldn’t he work? We don’t really know but we can afford not to find out.
But in the era of consequence it changes because that man pulling your pint sleeps under a bridge at night. Somebody like you finds themselves slaving away on an Australian plantation so the Australian can keep on surfing and hitting the shops with a credit card mountain. For a variety of reasons Australia, Canada, Ireland... you will keep that feeling of the 1990s for a little longer than the rest of us.
