I get what you mean but...the 'We shouldn’t writhe in pain mentally because everyone is dying, there’s always a bright side' is a bit silly. Some people have mental conditions which causes them to not be able to see a bright side, hence why a lot of mental disorders lead to suicide. It's like saying, 'why do people have anorexia? Just eat a sandwich!' It's a mental condition...it's not that easily solvable.
And 'We shouldn’t pretend to be peppy and happy all the time because there’s always a dark side. And it’s obviously fake,' is a pretty depressing way to think. Some people are just happy people. Not all happiness is fake. Actually, probably hardly any happiness is fake. It shouldn't be wrong to be happy because out there somewhere someone is dying. If everyone walked around constantly thinking about all the unjust things in the world, I'm pretty sure everyone would WANT to commit suicide. And people are dramatic about break-ups because that is a dramatic thing in their life. Sure, there are more terrible things happening in the world but non of that is effecting you personally.
This whole thing is pretty backwards...
And there're a hell of a lot more things with can do than 'pray' that it's all going to stop. At the end you are saying that religion is the answer yet at the start you are saying that religion is the cause of beheadings...
The ending would be more effective if you said that praying is NOT the answer. Taking action is. Stand up for gay rights. Support feminism. Give to charity that help third world countries.
Is this supposed to be ironic? Because I've seen that it's tagged under humour. If this is supposed to be a joke...I don't get it.
