Maybe life is just worth 50%….we say its more than that to hype the sanctity and value of it….but what if it’s really just 50%?….If you are alive and healthy then wouldn’t that be a good thing? Of Course that is just depending on those 2 things….we are excluding the bad things but if we do shouldn’t the fact that you are alive and healthy be a good thing?….50% of your total existence should be just being alive ….the other 50% would be bad things and the suffering we endure in life…. So maybe societies expectation of a good life is not reasonable because if the bad things account for nearly 50% of your existence then how can we be upset that things turned out this way?….
Life is unfair for us all but doesn’t that make it fair in a way?
If you are unhealthy but living you still have about 30% because you are still living and if you are still living there is a possibility at happiness no matter how improbable it is…..you never know what could happen….we simply don’t know the future…..
If life is 50/50 then maybe we should drop our extreme expectations for life and try to just exist as best we can… Not saying you shouldn’t keep suicide as an option but after all we only live once…..one time….uno….you’ll never get a redo or second chance to do any of the things you like doing….no matter how much you hate life there is SOMETHING that you enjoy…..no matter how small and irrelevant it is if you enjoy doing it it counts….
Now for the Flipside if you are disabled, sickly, unhealthy or damaged in any way mentally or physically then obviously it isn’t 50/50 anymore but maybe 30/70 or 5/95….I doubt any of us here are “5s” but we probably fall in the 20-30 area…so even though we are still in bad shape we can at least admit we aren’t at 0 or even less than 10….
I know life isn’t exactly a nice thing anyway but still it’s the only chance we get….to do stuff we like I know I say I would have rather not existed and that remains true but I have to say there are things about life that I do like….and there are a few things I’m glad to have seen and done…
