You don't have to hope for it. It's going to happen regardless. Subthread OP doesn't have to feel inferior to these people, because their lives aren't all that great.

nayrt

let's put it this way: that's a terrible thing to feel smug about or use to cheer yourself up

Re: nayrt

AYRT is being holier than though. Your point is valid, and an important one.

It's not about wishing misery on others. It's about remembering that most people have something in their lives that makes them wonder how they can bear it. How they can bear it and keep bearing it.

We tend to assume everyone's relationship is great, but in reality people are often crushingly lonely and have no idea what to do about it. We tend to assume people feel incredibly fulfilled by their children, but in reality some people (while they love their children) also spend a lot of time feeling like they want their life back. We see the beautiful home, not the mortgage stretching out twenty years into the future. We see the person with a great job, not the person who is deeply underwhelmed by their job and wonders how/if they're going to be able to keep doing it for years and years to come. And a couple dozen other things like that.

Those things suck big time and I certainly would not wish them on a person let alone on a friend. They're really, really hard things and there's not always a solution, and if there is one it often sucks too. But they're also normal things to having hanging over you. The person who doesn't having something that makes them wonder how they can bear it is a fortunate person.
