I quote from Mr. George Orwell -

"The feeling, 'This is what I came into the world to do. Everything else is uninteresting. I will do this even if it means starvation', which turns men of differing temperaments into scientists, inventors, artists, priests,explorers and revolutionaries - this motif is almost entirely absent..."

He's describing the works of Dickens, but the comment applies equally well to my own life. I am as ignorant of this feeling as a virgin.

This is your real problem. Enjoying your job is like a happy marriage, it lasts about 4 months. After that you just hope to be able to not hate each other and have a mutually benificial relationship. Here's a couple of quotes for you:

"You think I'm a loser? Because I have a stinking job that I hate, a family that doesn't respect me, and a whole city that curses the day I was born? Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me tell you something. Every day when I wake up in the morning, I know it's not going to get any better until I go back to sleep. So I get up. I have my watered-down Tang and my still-frozen Pop Tart. I get in my car with no gas, no upholstery, and six more payments. I fight honking traffic just for the privilege of putting cheap shoes onto the cloven hooves of people like you. I'll never play football like I wanted to. I'll never know the touch of a beautiful woman. And I'll never know the joy of driving through the city without a bag over my head. But I'm not a loser. Because, despite it all, me and every other guy who'll never be what they wanted to be, is out there, being what we don't want to be, forty hours a week, for life. And the fact that I didn't put a gun in my mouth years ago - that little fact makes me a winner, baby." - Al Bundy

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." - Henry David Thoreau

If this is your vision of life then I can't imagine why you're not mercifully dead already.

Why exist just to exist? Haven't you ever wondered why you just take that as a granted assumption?

Let me correct it for you:

"The mass of your generation lead lives of loud, whiny, desperation."
