Psychological epidemic

I believe that today we're facing a psychological epidemic, one in which people no longer realize it's okay for things to suck sometimes. I know that sounds intellectually lazy on the surface, but I promise you, it's a life/death sort of issue. Because when we believe that it's not okay for things to suck sometimes, then we unconsciously start blaming ourselves. We start to feel as if something is inherently wrong with us, which drives us to all sorts of overcompensation, like buying forty pairs of shoes or nonchalantly saying 'I want to die' in regards to every troublesome situation we find ourselves in.
