Poll: Do you find life is positive?

[Daniel Moores]

Okay, here it is:

I was reading a post a few minutes ago and I found quite a feel people who thought that life is a wonderful thing. Now, I feel a bit differently. I just wanted to see how many people actually like life.

 

[Hoplon]

Life is joy, life is sorrow.

It is never one thing or the other, simplification is never helpful.

 

[SsilverR]

Depends .. In some peoples lives hard work could help make things better, In others that's not the case.

My general philosophy on life is this: It's only a matter of time before you get fucked, you can do everything right but sometimes whether you like it or not... you're gonna get fucked.

 

[Tesral]

Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, having a wonderful time.

 

[staika]

I'm one of the most positive people I know, so yes I do find life positive.

 

[Squarez]

Why the fuck would you think that life is anything other than an unequivocally good thing?

 

[Davatehi]

Hakuna matata! Why worry about stuff? I could die tomorrow or become rich. What happens, happen. Can't break my stride!

Also, here is a picture that will prove that life is awesome:

So life is like being in prison? ...I'll buy it.

OT: Eh, a bit of this, a bit of that. I haven't had any major complications in life, nor am I in a position to truly talk about it. I haven't seen jack shit in this world, first hand.

Though if I must...life is actually pretty negative in a whole. You're born without any actual choice in the matter, spend the first part of your life being molded, end up getting hit in the face by "reality," work hard to make a life for yourself, and if you're not killed off at some point in between, you die old and loose all the work.

Then again who cares? You have your fun and then you go away for awhile. Just live life and die. Make your life worth living and it won't really matter how it ends or what it accomplishes, right?

But what do I know? We have this awesome stuff:


and this simply makes life brilliant:

I enjoy existing.

I could really do without some of the bullshit of modern life, but the core of being alive is great.

 

[SillyBear]

I adore life. How can you not? Even the very worst moments still have beauty within them. It beats simply not existing.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Life's quite good, I just find people confusing.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

I'm practically a hedonist. So yeah, I pretty much love life. It's been pretty damn good to me so far.

 

[Hagi]

Good stuff happens, bad stuff happens. Sometimes more of one then the others.

Life itself isn't really anything, it just is.

Whatever we think about life is inside ourselves. Not to mean that it's just a matter of choosing how we feel about life, sometimes so much bad stuff happens that there's really no option but to think life horrible.

But I've lived and worked with very impoverished people in South Africa (certainly not comparable to those starving in for example Somalia right now, but also far below what people are used to in the western world) who've had a lot of bad stuff happen to them (family members murdered and raped, growing up under apartheid etc.) but still found happiness and joy in their lives. They would have liked the luxuries we have, but they didn't think their own lives completely horrible.

 

[StBishop]

Life is beautiful, blah blah blah. Others have said it more eloquently than I can at the moment.

But yes, life is a net positive. If you don't feel that way then you should consider finding something positive or getting help. If that's not an option I'm really sorry.

If you're at rock bottom at least the only way is up.

 

[zombie goat fetish]

Life is whatever you make it, so far I am quiet enjoying life. Even though I am very negative person at times and my friends think I am the most negative moody cynical person in existence.

 

[Danny Ocean]

If you said no: stop feeling sorry for yourself. I can almost guarantee that there's about a billion other people who have far shittier lives than you, simply by the fact that you're on the internet right now.

If you hate your friends, or they hate you, get new ones. If you can't get new ones because you're still in school. Nut up and ignore the fuck out of them until they grow up or go away.

If you hate your low social standing, stop caring about it and focus on what really matters.

If you judge yourself by some ideal life you hold in your head, and are depressed because you can't live up to it, you have two options:

1. Get real. Change the ideal to something more achievable.
2. Work harder. Seriously. Get off the Escapist right now and go work toward achieving your dream. Go to sleep early, wake up early, work all day, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep.

If you do that, you'll achieve what you want to achieve eventually, or at least you can go out saying you tried damn hard.

If you think life is boring, you're just not interesting enough.

If you think life is pointless, you're doing it wrong.

It all depends on what you want.

Life's a ***** and then you die, But this particular ***** called Life is actually one that I actually like.
So in other words..
Life sucks, but I still love it.
Like the Blues: I'm sad, but I'm in peace with the sadness which makes me happy.
