"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

Right

I didn't just fall of the karmic path. No, it's more like I stumbled off it and then tripped and slid down a ravine and landed on a bunch of jagged rocks and stinging nettles.
Let's look at this more closely: to continue to enjoy my life and all the good times it has to offer I had to show up to celebrate a friend's accomplishment at a trendy eatery in East Van. I'll break it down further for the slow kids in the back: in order to continue to have an enjoyable life I needed to go out and do something enjoyable today. Instead I flipped a friend of eighteen years the proverbial bird on a day deigned to celebrate her incredible accomplishment.
Wow.
