Woah, what have I done?
Such an intense discussion about it.
Ladys and Gentlemen I´m deeply sorry for it.
But you are also so cute with it.

Heheh I just like language XD it's fun to discuss. Especially as I know not everyone here has English as their first language (although everyone is very fluent and good at speaking it).

@Toxic: Why are you sorry? At least you gave us something to talk about XD
@jacob: Yeah, sometimes it's hard to say if someone's a native English speaker or not, many people just use it so well xD

Hehehe my mothers tongue is german, and in that language it´s pretty clear how they are called.
But Germans got for everything a word!

True, if you have a word for the pain of existence (weltschmerz - at least that's what they taught us at school) you truly have a word for everything

So the pain you feel if you´d rather want to be death?
Would say "Todessehnsucht" could be more fitting.^^

As I recall from school, they were explaining it as the pain of existing in the world. You know, life is tough and we all live in a meaningless universe and so on

Life is so bad it aches at times

Woah that´s pretty deep, and I´m pretty sure there´s a word for it.
XD
I don´t know this feeling personaly, ´cause I´m like one of those sunshine people.
If something bad happens, it makes me stronger facing it.

I love how there are so many words for things in German that we don't have words for. And I love how the words are formed. Like putting together other words which make sense to form the bigger word.

@Toxic: Yeah, in school they taught us that's what weltschmerz means XD I think it was also in literature context.
I wish I was this kind of a person
@jacob: Such words are in every language. Every language has words other languages don't have, it's super interesting.
Isn't this rule also used in English sometimes?
