The bits of the universe you dented were your kids, and they have the problems now the guy above has. Nice for you that the world worked out for you from the get go, but if its happier for your box, no need to rub it into everyones face. Seems to me, the default for developers in not your experience. Guess its sort of self selected for, with the job filtering for the neuros who make it to it.
Hell is the life lived, not the end of life, it's on you if you choose to spend your remaining time dwelling on your most painful experiences
I couldn't imagine someone having that reaction at the end of their life
Maybe it's just me, but: love, romantic sexual relationships, and some indescribable things between make life worth living. That's the good shit.
Life is so goddamn short: spend it with interesting, cool, reliable people.
And fuck around while you can because there will be a time when you can't.
You don't have to be clever, smooth, a genius, or perfect.. just treat others as human and be real. An interest in someone other than oneself. If that someone else doesn't reciprocate, move on. With age and practice, it gets as easy and natural as walking.
Regret at the end of life for a path not traveled is a living hell that cannot be undone. The goal in life should be to die happy having done everything and having dented the universe a bit.
