Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Again. Total horseshit.

Skip out on the bad moments if you can! Are you crazy?! Live your life! Don't simply choose to accept monotony just because it exists! You're saying you shouldn't try to actively avoid bad moments?! What the fuck kind of grin-and-bear-it nonsense is that?!

well of course you should try to avoid them, but sometimes shit happens. and bad shit happens to good ppl.
it's how you deal with it that can turn those adversities into a learning and growing experience.
and no, it is almost never easy.

Of course, avoid suffering as much as possible. But even you have to agree that one cannot simply avoid all adversity.

Even though it would be nice to have a skip button, the reality is that we do not. So the job of philosophy like above is to make such moments bearable. It is almost pragmatic.
