Questions that I've been asking

You asked for anything, so here's something.
Why to live? Why not?
Why do we want a good life, why do we seek pleasure? What if one seeks pain and does not care about the good life? What is 'good life?'
I claim that there are people who don't care for pleasure, and people who have committed or want to commit suicide because they see no point in living. They are not depressed, they do it because death is easier. Is this weakness or strength in your opinion?

having a good life is all based on your subjective point of view. happiness, pleasure, 'good'...is what you make of it.
i see suicide and depression as a weakness b/c i think it takes strength to wake up every morning and go on living in this crazy world....to value life with all of its flaws and shortcomings and realize that we are living for a greater purpose. whether it be spiritual, physical or for the hopeful progression of human kind.
there is a point in living. it just simply takes one not being single-minded or selfish in order to see it.
people disappoint me terribly. sometimes i want to move to a rainforest and live amongst monkeys, who are sure to not let me down near as much. are people really all horribly mean and callous, or are they nice deep down, but tired of trying because it seems pointless?
i think people are nice to begin with and then society fucks them over as best they can.

don't move to the rain-forest lady. i'd miss you too much.
I think the universe is trying to tell me something. but im ignoring it the most i can. The more i try to fight it the harder it gets to ignore and hes just everywhere.
