What saying out there do you think are a load of Bull?

Well yeah but usually the people who say this to you aren't well versed in causality :pac:

When your life is falling down around you and some ninny says "everything happens for a reason", yeah they're not talking about cause and effect, they're talking about some vague notion of providence or karma.... and that grates on me something desperate.

They might as well be saying "everything happens for a terrifyingly unknowable reason" and expect it to be comforting.

Nah you're too literal and your own previous interpretation is biasing how you perceive it to be. Everyone knows inherently that life is chaos, but things happen as they have to happen, hence they happen for a reason. Think about it in terms of a breakup. 'It happened for a reason', where clearly it did because you would still be in a relationship with them if there wasn't.

'Life is suffering' I think life is suffering but humans have a way of dealing with tragedy and finding strength and courage in the face of it. It's not that life isn't suffering but the saying on the surface appears bleak, when in actual fact, by embracing the hardship of life we can overcome it and truly enjoy the experience of living.

For me its,

"There is someone out there for everyone"

Its utter bullsh,it. No there is not.

I am on this planet 40 odd years now and still have not met that one special person.

Maybe it's me maybe I am too odd or too weird but you no what I don't care because that is me and if a person does not get that part of me than it's just not going to happen. No point in hiding I have been hiding long enough no more I tell you no more.

Also " Don't come running to me if you fall of that wall and break a leg' has to be one of the worst saying ever. Course they are not going to run if they just broke a leg lol.

Always thought that saying was for when a fatty or a total bellend finally got a ride as opposed to someone meeting a soulmate.

I dont know if you're being serious or not in the last paragraph.

The customer usually doesnt have a clue which is why he is paying you the professional to do it for him.

Nonsense there is nothing suddenly wrong with the ties of society. Its just we dont have to marry the first person we ride and stay with them forever any more thankfully

A friend says "positivity is the best option"

Being positive the whole time is nearly as bad as being depressed.

"Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."

Reverse this and you have the truth.

"It takes more muscles to frown than to smile" or whatever that saying is, pure lies and utilized exclusively by bellends.

"Hard work never killed anyone " maybe not directly,but it helped shorten many life's in the distant past through ill health from hard work related conditions that developed over time.

You weren't in the right place at the right time.

"He wants to have his cake and eat it too"

I have thought about it and thought about it all my life every time I have heard but I still don't get it.... can anyone PLEASE explain to me how this makes sense??

What is the point of having a cake if you can't eat it?

What is so outrageous about eating a cake??

“No good deed goes unpunished”

Found a guys wallet on the street. I tracked him down on Facebook but he never read my messages. Emailed some recruitment agents on business cards to call him and get in contact with me. I stood in a wet dark train station for 20 minutes for a rendezvous and he got back his wallet

The head gasket on my car blew one week later

Fook you karma :mad:

Any time someone tells me "it doesn't hurt to smile" I tell them I am incapable of smiling due to muscle damage from a car accident. Always makes them slink away

It took me a long time to get it too and I still think it's a dumb saying.

How it works is that after you've eaten your cake you no longer have any cake. To want to 'have a cake and eat it' is impossible and is a (bad) metaphor for unrealistic expectations and/or failing to understand actions have consequences.

Some of the uptick is people being too fussy and looking for somebody out of their league.
NOT criticising - each to their own, I just think it was less of a thing decades ago.
