Most people, including me, beg to disagree. Better Call Saul was a masterpiece.

I really enjoyed Better Call Saul and thought it was much much better than Breaking Bad. Walter White was such an irritating character. Saul was a brilliant hustler.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And…

So basically, Buddhism?

I respect you shitting on something that is nearly perfect. Your hatred is pure and that makes it special.

I couldn’t make it through Breaking Bad, but I couldn’t put down Better Call Saul. Different boats for different floats.

When you're successful and rich (enough, at least), this is a nice whimsical thing to say. When you're suffering in the trenches, this isn't very helpful.

The thing is, if you never question anything, just lifing is worth it in itself.

If you do think too much about everything, and you survive this, you will land somewhere and this somewhere will be content.

I'm thinking about happiness and what I want for so long, that I now have crossed my half life point.

You also need to have a certain amount of freedom to even have this problem which makes it weird for others not having this. Oh you are not happy? But you have money?! I would be happy with money, i'm struggling.

Its weird if you sometimes think it would be interesting to struggle.
