It's a goddamn shame you waste all your potential on your dumb conspiracy theories, poor grasp of economics, and related ventures that are far out of your grasp. If you set realistic goals and gave up this "always sure of yourself, even when you're wrong" thing and had a little humility and learned from your past mistakes, you could probably actually accomplish something with your life.

I am always goddamn sure of myself when I am wrong. I am happy to be wrong because I am one ounce less ignorant. I take it in pride. Go ahead, hang your head down and cry in shame when you are defeated if that what life is to you; mere suffering. I will retain my happiness and continue trying to achieve it to greater heights.

Humility is for suckers who need provisioning from the crowd. I already have the joy I need.

So, whatever you did when you got suicidal helped then?

Nobody helped me. I had to pull myself up by my bootstraps. Anyways, even when I'm suffering, I'm partially happy to have suffered. It's good experience.

Stop calling your "suffering" and "failures" successes though, treat them as learning experiences instead. Identify and take note of your mistakes, and correct the behavior, or be doomed to make the same mistake again.

Isn't a learning experience a success? Why aren't I allowed to be happy in the face of adversity? I certainly correct my mistakes in the name of building a greater end. It's not like I have to suffer to do that.

If you learn from them, of course it is. If you just embrace the experiences, you aren't helping yourself
