Broken Promises...

I'm sorry, but I can take this no longer. I see many people for some reason like this quote, and I'm here to ask why?...
"No one said it would be easy, they only said it would be worth it."
I'd like to meet this "they" and kick their teeth down their throat. Explain how a 7 year old kid who gets hit by a drunk driver and dies instantly is worth it. Explain how a 7 year old kid who gets hit by a drunk driver and then is a vegetable 'til the end while the driver walks free to maim again is worth it.
Being positive is one thing. Giving people false hope and lying to them telling them it'll be OK, when you have no fucking clue that it will, is something I can't respect.
Don't tell me I'll be fine, or that I'll make it through, if you don't know that for sure. You honest people are completely oblivious to the fact that that is a blatant lie. It's one thing to be there for someone and make sure they get through OK, but it's a cop-out to say it and then not help them through. If someone is hurting, help them, don't just tell them positive things to cheer them up. If you really care about someone, and they're hurting, make sure that you are there to kick their ass back into gear. If you aren't going to be there for them any time, then how can you call yourself a friend?
"I'm here for you, so if you need anything, let me know."
No, if you were here for me, you'd meet me face to face and help me through. Saying that phrase shouldn't be a formality, it should be a promise. Don't say it if you're not going to back it up. I won't think anything less of you if you don't say it to me, say "I hope you feel better" or whatever, but don't lie. If you say it and then don't back it up, then I will think less of you.
Enjoy your Friday night.
