It's actually nice. The world is generally a nice place, and it's better to acknowledge that.

They pretty much are, in my opinion. They're a sociological way to group very disparate people -- and sociologists can barely agree on where the boundaries begin and end.

Though, I kind of prefer being "Generation Y" to being a "Millennial". If I am going to be arbitrarily grouped based on the year I was born.

Why though?

I'll see myself out

Misanthropy is overrated.
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

Hey! :P

Well... optimism and positivity isn't too bad. Though I admit, sometimes an overly cheerful person can be uncomfortable to talk with. And I can relate because I am one of them!

I now feel the need to crawl into a hole and never leave.

How about a balance -- there are good things in life, there are bad things; dreadful things happen in the world, amazing things happen. Rather than take a view of total optimism or total pessimism, why not strike a balance.

That's why I quite like the last song in Avenue Q, For Now:

KATE MONSTER
Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied.

BRIAN:
Everyone goes 'round a little empty inside.

GARY COLEMAN:
Take a breath,
Look around,

BRIAN:
Swallow your pride,

KATE MONSTER:
For now...
[...]
ALL:
But only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now!

LUCY:
For now we're healthy.

BRIAN:
For now we're employed.

BAD IDEA BEARS:
For now we're happy...

KATE MONSTER:
If not overjoyed.

PRINCETON:
And we'll accept the things we cannot avoid, for now...

GARY COLEMAN:
For now...

TREKKIE MONSTER:
For now...

KATE MONSTER:
For now...

ALL:
But only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now! (For now)
Only for now!

Only for now!
(For now there's life!)
Only for now!
(For now there's love!)
Only for now!
(For now there's work!)
For now there's happiness!
But only for now!
(For now discomfort!)
Only for now!
(For now there's friendship!)
Only for now (For now!)
Only for now!

Only for now! (Sex!)
Is only for now! (Your hair!)
Is only for now! (George Bush!)
Is only for now!

Don't stress,
Relax,
Let life roll off your backs
Except for death and paying taxes,
Everything in life is only for now!

I keep cheering for Larry the Cat. We don't need Cthulhu (sorry, Cthulhu), we need more cats in government: they're too lazy to go to war, even the worst kitty tantrums can be tempered by tuna, they lack the opposable thumbs to input nuclear codes, and their cute antics would be cheering for the whole population.
