One's error is not mitigated by accusing another of making the same mistake.

Comedy or Tragedy?

Much of what passes for human tragedy is really black comedy.

One needn't grin and bear it; one need only bear it.
I am weary to my bones of pervasive baseness, deceit, and stupidity.

The Key

Acceptance of what is (and its/our relative unimportance) may be a key--if not to happiness, at least to contentment; if not to contentment, at least to equanimity; if not to equanimity, at least to sanity.
There's always "something missing."

Vive la difference!

Can't we just be different without one of us having to be better?

Whomever I enhance enhances me; whomever I diminish diminishes me.

Friends don't flatter or humor me; friends encourage and uplift me.
If you know me and reject me, that's my loss; if you don't know me and reject me, that's your loss.
