Very sad but interesting thoughts. I share them as well. Just when I feel like things cant get worse it does, and I cannot console myself with the thought that it can always be worse because then comes the fear that there is still so many bad things that can happen. lol. I relate to your comment that there is something more universally sad about life.

Love the Woody Allen quote "life is full of misery, loneliness,and suffering and it's all over much too soon" (Sometimes I feel like comedians are the most intelligent people in the world)

Just tonight I was complaining to my friend about how other wives are so much worse then me and they remain married and I am being rejected despite the fact that i have no vices, am faithful, educated, do the right thing, rarely lose my temper, am great mom etc. she told me "it must be so hard knowing that he just doesnt like who you are as a person. You know, Who you are at the core". We both Found this very funny and and I don't know why. I guess because it was such a mean thing to say, or maybe because it puts a distorted perspective on what I'm really feeling deep down? We both laughed and I felt much better afterwards.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we all suffer in life , but maybe we all have different ways to deal and cope. I was feeling very dark, and needed to laugh at myself to lighten things up. How do you cope when things get dark?
