Life is about avoiding shitty things. It is infinitely easier to find yourself in a shitstorm of misfortunes than it is to find happiness or anything close to your ideal in life. Don't bother trying to be happy or to live an ideal life because it won't happen unless you are insanely lucky. Instead live your life to avoid everything that sucks or things that suck will happen (probably still will happen even if you make every effort to avoid them). Trust me, it may sound like a shitty way to live life but you will wish you did so and so when so and so happens to you.

I am someone who used to believe things would work out but I didn't realize how much I suck even though I knew that life generally sucks. Now that I know that I suck I wish I had played it safe and been more aware of how stupid I am. Everyone is stupid and everyone thinks they are smart, so start being aware of why you're a fucking idiot before it's too late.

Things don't work out.  You work them out.

Luck happens to those that put in the work

Life = death

fortune = misfortune

It is only a matter of time before things go wrong. If things don't go wrong you are lucky...and then you die.

The wise don't try to make life into what they want to make of it, they recognize it for what it is and pray to the holy lord as they make every effort to avoid getting fucked. Mother nature likes to fuck people, the road to wisdom lies in guarding one's self from being fucked.

War is literally peace because life is war but peace is safety and safety is more valuable than victory thus peace is the true victory in war. That is the point of this entire forum topic. If you disagree than try enjoying victory while you are dead or severely injured etc. The more battles you fight the more inevitable it is that you will suffer unless all your battles are fought to avoid battle. Some battles are unavoidable or shouldn't be avoided but the true victory in life is to survive and avoid getting fucked.

Let me put it this way. Most people think the most important aspect of having sex is to have sex but in reality the most important aspect of having sex is to not get raped.

Everyone is stupid and everyone thinks they are smart
I dont think that I am smart. In fact, I consider myself mentally retarded. 

Now, about avoiding shitty things.

Yes, we should try to avoid shitty things.

Life itself is a shitty thing for anyone who is a good person.

In fact, me being born is my biggest regret.

I could have lived hapily in non-existence, but now I have to be tortured until I die a painful death.

I was hoping that I get cancer or heart attack and die.

I dont  know which one of those is better, cancer or heart attack.

Now, statistically, most deaths are painful in some way.

Some are much more painful than the others.

I always envy people who die, because they saved themselves from pain.

Now, I am not a necrophile. Its not that I am sexually attracted to death.

Its that death is the least bad thing that can happen to a person.

Life, on the other hand, is the worst thing that could happen to someone.

I was happy in non-existence, but my parents decided to create me so that I could be tortured. 

I guess not all kids deserve parents.

The centre of life is producers. Without them, life cannot persist as the primary consumers will die, then the secondary consumers, then the tertiary, etc.

I disagree that life is inherently the worst thing. I think a life with bad decisions or bad circumstances is what makes it the worst. Life can be livable if you are either lucky or live according to the supreme wisdom of being aware of all the ways it is possible to be stupid rather than trying to be smart. You say life is shitty for anyone who is a good person but what does being good have to do with it? Nature is indifferent either way and there are both good and evil ways to be a retard. Good people can get along with others safely whereas evil people actually have to be smarter about being evil to avoid getting fucked by the people they fuck.

It's an interesting view,
True people like being happy, like enjoyment, good times, places.

True to 'be in such good places, means avoiding bad elements,
. . .

I'd say myself life is also looking for 'good as well,
But I think it's possible to function 'just by avoiding the bad,
One is in a bad situation, they might not think to look for the good,
But to get rid of the bad,
Their 'moving to a good situation, they might contextualize as removing the bad.
. . .

I think there can be value in long persistence towards a goal,
I've not a swell head that I think my various book ideas or game I hardly work on, are 'brilliant,
'But,
They're better than a lottery ticket,
They're hobbies I enjoy working on, that nothing much is lost by investment in them,
Instead I gain happiness, and 'maybe luck of the draw.

"Like that guy who invented the pet rock."
Office Space - A Jump to Conclusions (HQ)

Course I wouldn't recommend investing one's life 'savings into a hobby, expecting it to pay off.
There's that 'avoidance of pain again.

"War Is literally peace..."

War -a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air.
Peace-the nonwarring condition of a nation, group of nations, or the world.

Look, idk where you got logic from but you kinda need to check your facts buddy.

I guess the Sith view is: either attack either get attacked. Either conquer either get conquered.

I don't know,
Probably some cannon on them,
By Lucas or one/many of the various writers.

They 'do seem to have a negative bent though, in appearances.
. .

Not an uncommon view,
Life being a jungle, struggle.

Though a person who turns 'everything into a powerplay, 'focuses on it a ton, can be irritating to be around.
, ,

Still, even when not in a war of guns vs guns,
Humans often fighting politically, economically, competing.

Human body fighting entropy, viruses,

People social interaction, sometimes a fight,
Some people talking over conversation, asserting dominance, their way or highway.

'Some interaction, some fight somewhere.
./ . . . . .  . . . . . . . .

Though, on another hand, in life,
Many people cooperative,
Many people turn the other cheek.
. .
Still, a person determined in the conflict view, 'could still use conflict terms to describe,
Workable, as a perspective,
Though not a perspective I'd obsess on 'all the time,
More enjoyable to say peace, more normal speaking, often.

Most people try to impose their views on others.

Parents on children, friends on friends, activists on the masses.

There is not a point at which you can choose to not attack others,

and at the same time not be attacked yourself.

Cooperation often means that someone won in a struggle

and someone else lost and has to cooperate unwillingly.

I am not sure if cooperation is opposite of struggle.

People can cooperate, but even cooperation can be a result of a struggle that was lost for someone.

Certainly that's a valid perspective one could take, I'd agree.

Though I look at it a bit like the cup of water,
Half full,
Half empty.

I believe life holds a deeper purpose beyond merely avoiding pain. For me, pain and suffering play a crucial role in finding meaning and happiness, but not all types of pain. I think the kind of suffering that can be overcome is necessary for life to have significance. Without challenges to overcome and accomplishments to achieve, life would lack meaning and rewards would lose their value. It is the difficulty in achieving something that makes it truly meaningful and rewarding, just like winning the Super Bowl trophy without putting effort into it would render it meaningless.

That is the opinion of a privileged being or one with a false sense of security. Life is something that can leave you totally fucking screwed in a condition worse than death and the true central point of life is avoiding this every day. Any goal you can have other than being safe and comfortable is a side quest that isn't necessarily pointless but is absolutely pointless if you ignore things that can fuck you and get fucked along the way.

You see life as a mountain to climb and I see life as a flying cock that is perpetually shooting towards my ass hole. In my attempt to escape being raped I may be proud that I ran up a few mountains on the way but that is never the real point of running and I prefer nice flat ground. You will understand if the cock of life ever reaches your unsuspecting ass hole unless you are privileged to have the cock moving towards you slowly or to have fast enough legs to escape it with ease but that is not the case for most beings.

Do you believe your perspective is similar for all individuals, and what do you think should change about the world to make it better for everyone?

That is quite a simple yet bold statement and one that I am quite familiar with.  Could you elaborate why you believe this?

You will only build a negative connotation for your business by using invasive advertising styles such as this. I would suggest making a Facebook page, or a YouTube channel where you can post. I would even suggest following dental groups on Facebook, where you can reach people on a more personal level by suggesting your business as their solution. This practice you have implemented is a scattershot method. Not only is it ineffective in finding those searching for your product, but it often builds a negative experience towards your brand.
