> >Why is it that everyone thinks life is suppose to be hard? I am an atheist and I get so much crap about that too! If you don't fit the "norm" people think there is something wrong with you. If you don't live the "happy" life, something is wrong with you.

> If someone wants to be unhappy that's fine with me. I'm too busy trying to make myself happy to worry about anyone else. I just personally think that happiness is something worth working for. There are also people out there that value money and others that don't. I also think that money is worth working for, and that's also something that not everyone can acheive. Especially in this capitalist society. By the way, I'm also an atheist & I don't care what anyone else thinks.
